...How McLaren's enormously deep technical resources pay dividends
In the Ferrari v McLaren fight for this year's world championship, the development race - that frenetic fight back at the respective factories to find yet more time from the car - was always going to be key.
Ferrari began the year with what appeared to be a slight performance advantage and Lewis Hamilton did not initially like the MP4-23 as much as the 2007 car. Of late McLaren appears to have leapfrogged ahead. That - and the reasons behind it - suggest that the enormously deep resources of the team's MTC Centre in Woking may finally be making the critical difference.
