McLaren and Ferrari (and their drivers) have had more than their own fair share even after decades in the sport and fighting for championships.
The fact is, the pressure is high. They've been put in to this position somewhat unenxpectedly and they're not used to it. I didn't say I was pleased with how they've gone about it, but realistically looking at it, it's not at all bad for a first effort. I would imagine if they were the main contenders next year (which I doubt) then things would be much better.
A lot of people are disappointed with how Brawn and Red Bull have gone about this title battle, but they seem to forget that neither team has been in a position like this before and in comparison to other teams that have fought for and won/lost championships (Ferrari, McLaren, Renault) they are relatively young. You only get good at fighting for championships by fighting for championships.
Oh, come on! What a cop out. Both Red Bull and Brawn have plenty of experienced personnel. And, even if they did not, it would still not explain the infantile errors witnessed in this shambolic season.
