McLaren were at fault for the failed 2007 partnership with Fernando Alonso, says his former race engineer Mark Slade. F1
Former McLaren race engineer Mark Slade believes the problems with their failed season with Fernando Alonso in 2007 laid on the team’s side, rather than the Spaniard’s.
But when he looks back on working with the two-time champion as race engineer that year, Slade has positive memories to take.“He is the terminator of Formula 1, isn’t he? He just never gives up, and he’s just super-fast. The Alonso-McLaren relationship deteriorated to a degree whereby his multi-year deal was ended after a single season, departing to head back to Renault in time for 2008, with few kind words to say between driver and team after their first stint together ended.
