I fart in your general direction!

 

Guess who just found out he has tickets to Austin? ✋

 

Yeah, I am a team player. Most of the time. Sometimes. Ok, only when it suits me.

Don't miss it , race starts in 1/2 hour

 

BBC pre race is on in 10 minutes , hockey game will just be ending , perfect timing

 

That race was OK , you could definitely tell the local tv race director was Japanese the way the McLaren - Hondas got shown for 1/2 the race lol

 

Another well MANAGED race. Manage fuel, manage tires, manage brakes, manage gaps.
I'm not sure how much longer Alonso is going to manage his gp2 engine, or much longer I'm going to manage to care.

It would be relatively simple to fix. I don't see it happening.
Prior to this current era I felt aero was too big of a factor, and it still is to an extent, but now the power units are so complicated it seems only one firm in the world can solve it.

 

It's only been 1 1/2 years under the current regs , I'll bet there is a lot more parity between engines to start next season

 

Fernando Alonso: What now for 'embarrassed' McLaren driver?

Something I have been thinking about: look at this from mclarens point of view. They have 2 of the best and most highly paid drivers on the grid. How are they benefiting spending close to $40 mil a year on drivers for a car that can barely crack the top 10 if everything is perfect. They could get a couple of decent drivers for less than say $5 mil. If the car is really as bad as it seems why not bank the $35 mil until the car is more competitive.
