I don't think that's so important outside of mainland Europe ... even there, Ferrari made its name campaigning Lancia D50s.

"The MP4’s Ricardo-developed twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre 90-degree V8 engine will rev to 8500rpm, with its maximum 592bhp output arriving at 7000rpm. The peak 442lb ft of torque is available from 3000rpm, although 80 per cent is available between 2000-6500rpm. By comparison, the 458 produces 562bhp and 398lb ft and the SLS 563bhp and 479lb ft from their V8 engines."

What do YOU know about building engines?!

I think McLaren is still far too small of a "Mom & Pop" shop compared to Ferrari to be worrying about developing their own engines from the ground up for F1.

hope they can work something out with Honda for the engines.. just like the good old days....

I hope to see a return of the McLaren BMW joint venture once again.

I would love to see BMW and McLaren partner back up again.
