I find it quite amusing that Mercedes seem incapable of admitting that the project was ill judged in the first place and cutting their losses on this particular dead horse. McLaren are so clearly squirming with embarassment but unable to say much. A bad business all round really and a waste of talent and resource.
The only person I ever heard of buying one was the rather flashy former boxer Prince Naseem, who then very publicaly wrote it off. Sums it all up really.
