As things go, and in corporate language, I'm afraid they haven't got two halfpennies to rub together. Where the fuck they're going to get £200 million to shore McLaren up is beyond me.

Said as somebody who came "this close" to working for Gizmondo.
Everything about Rich Energy screams 'on the cheap'. After going through the Facebook connections, I'm not seeing anything that suggests serious money. That is reinforced when you see the background of their former director and the mobile disco operated by the son of the same ex-director...

Of the CEO, William Storey, he has a decent record in bugger all.

Of those companies, Danielistyle Limited is dissolved but the website is still going. Like Rich Energy, the brand utilises a strong boxing connection.

If it smells like bullshit, then it generally is bullshit. Looking at the Rich Energy website, it does make one feel like they're the type of company who would claim to have won the BIPP Amateur Photographer of the Year Award for six years running...

For now, I'm simply going to laugh at Rich Energy and the bullshit that pops out. For example the CEO's article on LinkedIn from late 2016:
"Very pleased to announce that William Storey Management have agreed a multi year partnership in Formula One with a world leading brand who have exclusively commissioned us to be their bridge into the sport and advise on ongoing activations and maximising media value within the world of elite motor racing. Formula One has been the nadir of sports branding ever since Bernie Ecclestone took commercial control in the early 80's and we are delighted to be continuing our association within this arena and are very confident that with new owners Liberty Media at the helm the sport will go from strength to strength internationally with particular emphasis on strong commercial revenue increases in the US."
"The nadir of sports branding" - as opposed to the nadir of dictionary usage.
And here's the registered office of the multi-million pound global enterprise -

I'm totally up for RE coming into F1.
Obvious that if they get £200 million its coming from East of Berlin ... has a McMafia smell about it. Bernie would have approved ...

Agreed, it may mean nothing, but now go and have a look at Red Bull's registered office, and see if you can spot the difference.
It's at 155-171 Tooley Street, London, SE1 2JP
The other option is that this is a front for another company that wants to remain anonymous at this stage.

Oh to have a Monkey Thought Translator strapped to Alonso...
Honda engine in their car?
I might be totally wide of the mark, but time will tell, eh?
Obviously the old Honda engine had issues, but you have to wonder if Mclaren are pushing way too near the limit of aero at the expense of cooling.
I see McLaren are trying to poach a Williams sponsor.
