Description
We like to think that the MP4-29 or even the 30 mark the start of McLaren's 'banter era', but I think it started here. A car that should have been so much more, created because the previous car was bad in that moment, and then they go on to have their worst season since 1980 or 1983, depending on how you want to look at it.
Button and Perez unable to score more than a fourth place right at the end of the season, and losing Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes where he'd go on to dominate over the next six or seven years led to instability at McLaren, that would ultimately lead to all the OGs there losing their jobs.
So how did McLaren get it so terribly wrong? Let's have a look.
