McLaren & Williams - non entities.

Did anyone else see a certain German interviewed during the Australian GP coverage? He was asked about 2004 contenders. His answer was close to:-
"Renault, ourselves, Mercedes and BMW."

So the UK teams don't exist any more, and are merely part of the Germanic motorsport machine?

Heard this and did think it a bit odd he referred to engine manufacturers and not team names as we know them.
