The flaws that deny McLaren titles
It has a great history, talented staff and superb resources, so why can't McLaren win the title? MARK HUGHES reckons he knows
Red Bull currently stands poised to have its driver take a fourth consecutive world championship.
To go back far enough in history to find the past four McLaren drivers' titles, we tick off Lewis Hamilton (2008), Mika Hakkinen (1999, 1998) and Ayrton Senna (1991); in other words, we have to go back 22 years to see as many McLaren world champions as we (likely) will have seen from Red Bull in the past four.
