And anybody can claim anything about radio transmissions that the public isn't privy to.

But I look forward to the competition between VET and LEC. Assuming one of them doesn't have a crippled car twice as often as the other, it should be good for both drivers as well as Ferrari.

It seems I may not be so foolish after all.

The radio transcript is what was said during the race broadcast. Why are you going against actual evidence?

McLaren wasn't a top team by performance in 2009, 2010, or 2011. Being well funded isn't the same as being a top team. Just remember one statistic: Lewis Hamilton is the only driver to have won a race in every season he's raced. Even the seasons he's had crap cars: 2009, 2010, 2011 (McLaren) or 2012 (Mercedes). No matter what, he can drag a car to a win.
