Ask Gary: Why do you hate McLaren?

Our readers pull no punches with their latest questions to GARY ANDERSON, who explains what he really thinks of McLaren and how he'd shake up F1's engine war

Why do you hate McLaren so much?
Gordon Chree, via Twitter

Gordon, actually you have got it all wrong. I'm a great supporter of McLaren as a team.

I used to work for McLaren many years ago, and there are still some of the people there that I worked with from my days spannering in the late 1970s.

What I do hate is what McLaren has become. It has everything it needs to be poking it right up Red Bull or Mercedes or whoever is at the top, yet for many years it has squandered that.
