That McLaren is being flattered by the abilities of the drivers in the car. Especially this year and especially with Lando. I think perhaps poor old DR is fed up trying to fix other people's crap cars. Look at the start of the season, the thing didn't even have a set of brakes that worked.

Trouble with McLaren is that they will think it's the driver when it's the car and unless they can provide a set of wheels that any reasonable driver has a good chance of placing in a race....they will chew up and spit out drivers... DR to start and for Lando it's only a matter of time.

I really feel for DR, I don't see how taking a well experienced and well liked driver and chucking in an inexperienced newbie is going to benefit them. Just cos Lando is able to extract something from the car does not mean that they should not address it's weaknesses. They should be listening to the drivers... making the car easier to drive/place... they are not or won't as Lando is able to extract something ... but that will decline as the other teams surpass them and in time, given Lando is on a long term contract, MacLaren will be spitting him out as well... and the press with be asking why Lando has not lived up to expectations.
