If Mercedes stays in the sport, it would be hard to believe that McLaren would be a title contender. There's a common thought in the paddock that the manufacturer teams wouldnt allow a customer to beat them. This is actually one of the reasons Ron Dennis made the switch at McLaren from Mercedes to Honda. He didnt believe that when Mercedes entered the sport as a works team that they would allow McLaren to beat them. Some may say that this is just speculation, but there are examples to support this being the case.
