Honestly I think McLaren are only just starting their wilderness years, with rumours Norris' management are trying desperately to wriggle him out of his McLaren contract, including refusing to sign a lucrative contract extension, which cause Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault all to ask questions about his availability. I think that McLaren are screwed for some time. They lose Alonso and I just can't see them getting anywhere near the front of the grid for years, not with Renault seemingly taking F1 seriously now. I think the Renault engines will more and more be designed to suit the works team, and that will hamper McLaren. It's going to be a painful few years, and the rumours are Alonso is off to Penske.
