I think so. You don't get **** like that from rookies, Vandoorne and Magnussen would be happy fighting for 10th place. Two world champions are great for development, but they've both shown real frustration at the situation, McLaren's young drivers would probably save the team £50m in wages. Depends where McLaren expect to be next season, but even if they're the third best team I can't see Alonso and Button being exactly thrilled by that.
One day it's going to turn out that Hamilton speaks German and has just been listening happily in all these post race cool down rooms
"GP2 engine. GP2. Aargh!" "I am getting passed down the straight like a GP2. This is embarrassing, very embarrassing," and other iterations.
His interview with the BBC post race was lacking in sunshine and lollipops as well. Not a nice day for him, can see it's wearing thin on him.
"Alonso 'frustrated' by lack of power Asked by Lee McKenzie about his comments on the radio - he referred to racing a "GP2 engine" and said the car's performance was "very embarrassing" - Alonso said: "You're obviously frustrated when you are overtaken on the straights. In corners other cars are braking late and making mistakes and you are perfect in the corners. "On the positive side, we keep improving reliability and we didn't repeat the errors in Singapore.""
