    It is an interesting one, there has previously been talk about not being able to just change sidepods as whole aero concept has to work together. So you may be right that all under floor and body work could be new!
    Just wonder how budget cap hinders things or will merc move ££ from next years development to fixing this years?

    same tyres, same lap change under safety car.

    Best thing red bull can do is throw a mystery gremlin software update.

    Both Red bulls should get a black and white flag for that deliberate driving through the corner there. next time should time penalties

    it's all development.

    if its wrong it is just wrong and has to be changed and learned.

    I can only guess they will system at the beginning with front nose and work back but won't change suspension set up this season

    just try to move the staff lunches outside the budget and they'll be fine yeah?

    Can't believe how slow Ferrari are, they really should be ahead of Hamilton on his medium tyres....
