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.

It's been open for a fair old while....

If you watched ITV's coverage of the race last weekend their "meet the team" was McLaren and they had a tour around it.

They do produce the SLR their (apart from the engines) as well as the F1 cars. I personally dont think its a waste of money, it goes perfectly with the McLaren and Ron Dennis' ethos. Its not as if they're spending their R&D money on it and which team has been the closest to ferrari this year, in the latter half of the season anyway, and if it wasnt for MB's engine failures they could well be a lot further up the table
