   I agree. Without the unwavering services of such a talented driver they   
   couldn't have developed the   
   car as much as they have. It's as much Lando's car as it is the design team's   
   who built it around   
   him. Oscar will have his day but the present and near future at McLaren IMO   
   should belong to Lando   
   when it comes down to the team deciding who wins a race.
