    So am I. It's also unusual for a McLaren employee to openly admit that Vettel is better than both Mclaren drivers.

    Yes I could not work that one out either, it is not even like Vettel just got pole and then dropped back in the races; he controlled the races easily as well. Maybe he is just trying to play mindgames; gee Button and Hamilton up and put a bit of pressure on Vettel.

    Mindgames probably, I look over the form of the McLaren at nearly every race shows it needs almost half a race to 'warm-up', maybe next season they should run the car on hards for 2/3rd of each session to warm it up so it has it's mid race pace for Q3, the downside is that I doubt the engine would care much for that.

    Well there's nothing like generating a bit of hype the day before the car's launch!

    I think he means clearly the quotes were fake/altered, and therefore the real quotes were not as eye catching

    on a side note, I wonder how many times Del La Rosa will actually make the 107%

    In the early stages of the season I reckon most of the time, but if as I suspect both Marussia and HRT are going to try and make the Brawn lightning strike twice ahead of the new technical regs, I can see that slipping towards the end of the season.

    "Interesting" blog on BBC today containing three questionable items:
    1. Ferrari had an option on Kubica for 2011
    2. Mark Webber remains on Ferrari's radar
    3. Suggests Ferrari are contemplating Lewis Hamilton- I mean what will the Beeb stop at to get him mentioned?

    EDIT: I've just seen DH's post in the other thread saying the same about another Benson blog

    Interesting. Webber would probably be the most valuable to Ferrari, having spent six years at Red Bull. I for one would much rather him go to Ferrari than stay at RBR, he might regain some confidence just by being with Ferrari and his good mate Ferdi.

    Webber to Ferrari?? Seriously??
    Hamilton to Ferrari I cannot see. Don't think anything will convince him to team up with Alonso again.

    Kubica to Ferrari I can see on one hand and not on another. Key problem in that equation is Alonso.

    I could see Webber at Ferrari. He is good friend's with Fernando.

    Looks a right mess. They should just leave it alone, it was fine before.

    Well at least the Beeb have an excuse for him to fall back on should he have a bad season.

    On a side note why has Sovereign been banned?
