There are several. There have already been customer deliveries.
The driver who had a problem (in a rotary) with the F1 in England
will be "reprimanded, but not sacked", can hardly be blamed. He is
not the first McLaren employee to wreck an F1. Who was? Why, Ron Dennis,
of course. He was taking Schumacher for a demo ride in one, and ran it
right off the track due to "cold tires, jet lag, and a nasty headache"
(sounds like he's been taking lessons on whingeing from Mansell).
