Maybe they should concentrate more on their racing programs instead of making fancy "Technology Centers".

if looks could kill, mclaren would be champions and ferrari would be a tail ender. Lets hope they put all their money to good use. Its pointless to have a state of the art center without some brains behind it. Mclaren definitely have the money, the skills and talent needed to win the championship again. It just cant happen soon enough.
