@Horner The unofficial view of the McLaren Group is that teams can inflict damage to third-party parts through their own amendments, so Christian is talking bollox. The McLaren Group would like to officially apologise to Red Bull for a software failure during the Australian GP and we will work together in future to avoid a repeat.

@hammy While the McLaren Group wish Lewis the best for his future, having nurtured, funded, and supported his entire career, we hope he will realise he has made an awful decision and will quickly regret his awful mistake next season.

@hammy The McLaren group have shown extreme patience with some of Lewis' poor judgement calls this season, but in light of recent FIA warnings we cannot condone the placement of anything obscene on drivers helmets.

@ej The view of the McLaren Group is that the punishment imposed by Max and the FIA was incurred for a F1 regulatory rather than statutory offence and thus the fine constitutes a trade expense related to the daily running of the team, which makes it tax-deductible.

@fernando The McLaren group would like to clarify that due to international law we cannot control Lewis' right to free speech, though it may be advisable for him to limit himself to forms of electronic communication that come with an easily accessible delete button.

@mschumi The McLaren group is unequivocal in its public stance that our staff will all officially dearly miss Lewis, until such time as his contract expires at the end of the season.

@ej The view of the McLaren Group is that we are very sorry to see Lewis go while believing he has made a monmental mistake. We are also sure that he will not bring any confidential data with him to Mercedes.

@JakeHumphrey The view of the McLaren group is that any statement beginning with "Eddie Jordan understands" is immediately questionable.

@wibbah The view of the McLaren Group is that Lewis was entirely within his rights when unlapping himself, as were McLaren F1 in lodging an appeal with the FIA regarding a certain team's engine mapping.

@moss It is the view of the McLaren corporation that Juan's injury may have been complicated by the fact that sources tell us he hurt his shoulder while endeavouring to play tennis on a quad-bike.

@hammy Actually Lewis, the view of the McLaren Group is that given recent history with Pastor, it was extremely ill-advised of you to engage in a battle with him, thereby wasting valuable championship points.

@massa The McLaren Group would like to point out the irony in this statement from Ferrari given their's is the biggest budget and they threatened to set up a rival series rather than cut costs back in 2009.

@CherZing The McLaren Group would like to point out that soliciting of the team's equipment for purposes other than racing or promotional activity will be frowned upon by the management

@Horner The McLaren group would like to point out to Red Bull that Lewis beat both their cars to get a podium and we are ahead in both championships

@Horner While it would not be typical of the McLaren group to gloat in victory, we would like to remind Red Bull that Jenson was in fuel economy mode and actually could have gone a lot faster.

@fernando My design team assure me that will no longer be an issue this year, due to the addition of an active opto-mechanical suspension-linked mirror vibration reduction system, as per Lewis' request.

@fernando I can confirm Lewis' presence in Woking on the days in question. In fact I recall the 30th of January quite clearly as he showed his utter dedication to the team by turning up unexpectedly, despite having previously booked it as a day off.

The McLaren group would like to express our pride in Lewis for his maturity in dealing with this matter and closing it in a timely manner.

Given the number 8 has cropped up here again and again it is worth pointing out that the McLaren group has eight constructors world titles to it's credit, placing us in an elite group.

@fernando We need to talk again Lewis, you've clearly underestimated Jenson this season, just don't let it get to you.
