Interesting article:
At least they know where they went wrong, although its probably more important to figure out how they made the wrong decisions and prevent it in the future.
Lopez & Grosjean appear to have a good relationship, if there isn't a McLaren spot for him at least he can retain a seat
They're at break even this year, despite big losses last year ? hmm, Pastor's money is helping no doubt, but it seems a hell of a turnaround.. if it is true why the stalling over the Merc engines ?
New TP for 2015, possibly a known name, Mr Whitmarsh maybe ?

From what I read its an inconsistent loss of aero balance, by that I'm assuming that at certain points/times the air stalls over the wings/under the floor, resulting in a loss of downforce, car starts over or under steering and the lap time goes out the window. THis will compound itself as the sliding wears the tyres and then the tyres don't have grip to hold the slide, so slides more, wearing the tyres more and so on.
Grosjean has said that they discovered that the problem has been in the DNA of their designs for a while but the FEE and EBD etc masked it, now all that stuff has gone the problem has been exposed and its so fundamental to the design its not easy to change. One presumes that they are going clean sheet design for next year.

Could be really make or break for them - if PM's money decides to call it a day then I cannot see them finding a comparable replacement sponsor, plus Grosjean (if he has any sense or suitable offers) may well be off.
On an optimistic note if the sponsor stays and they do actually build a half decent car and get Merc power then I would expect good things.
