After having scored no points in the first two races of the season, McLaren could be in trouble.

New simulator setup hitting hard

Sources inside the team reveal that the troubles stem from a lack of resources to get to grips with the new simulator. With most of the active members otherwise occupied outside of Model F1, the increased workload this season has proven too much.

“We’ve had some teething issues with the new sim. There’s a lot to take on and many of us have been flooded,” says newly appointed Principal /u/Ubuntuz. “We are getting there though. We will be working hard to get a better understanding of the sim and the car.”

Number of active members dropping

With the recent announcement that former Team Principal /u/UltimateBMWfan would be absent all season, and the pre-season departure of Assistant Principal /u/jeppe96 for the newly formed Aston Martin team, it could appear that McLaren are facing some challenges in keeping members active.

“We have two or three active members, myself included, which is not ideal. I think some members’ New Year’s resolutions were to quit Model F1, as most left around that time. Speaking of which, if anyone would like to join our team, feel free to send me a message” says Ubuntuz.
