I'm still in a slight state of shock regarding the whole McLaren, Brawn, Mercedes situation but I wanted to get a general feel for where everybody thinks McLaren will do next. Short term is clearly sorted - they are still 40% Merc for next year after all, but what about 4/5 years down the line?

Will history repeat itself? When Honda left McLaren suffered a big slump dealing with underpowered Fords and downright rubbish Pug's before signing with Merc.

Or will they look to the future and take the logical step and become a "works" team in their own right?
