I read a very interesting article about the impact the tire rule change had on McLaren. You see McLaren developed its car to take advantage of the 1 tire rule and was set to pounce in 2006. Then at the last minute the rule changed leaving them with a car they developed for 1 tire.

So they were basically screwed in 2006. McLaren was the fast car last year too, when the car did not break. I am still amazed this year how dependable the car has been. I was sure it would fall apart from Alanso's abusive driving style.

I predicted that car would be a mess in his hands and I was totally wrong. They have done a lot during the off season.
