McLaren wishes it had a BMW engine...instead it uses a woefuly unreliable and not-quiet Merecedes-- Ilmor. BMW has its own team now after buying Peter Sauber's team...don't get me started on McLaren those guys sure know how to waste billions(literraly) and not win championships going on 8 years in a row.


p.s. (historical note)
on lighter/less power v. more power/heavier cars...Ferrari established themselves in F1 using this approach at the 1951 British Grand Prix. Fangio's Alfa Romeo had more power but was heavier and consumed more gas so he had to stop more/longer for fuel giving Froilan Gonzales and Enzo Ferrari a historic win.
