    Are they reverting to an earlier McLaren version or adopting something more Ikeaish like Ferrari's?

    The guy didn't say, just that they changed it etc..

    Jason: RUMOR(credible) McLaren have changed their wheel nut design for the Spanish GP. #F1 It is rumor, but comes from credible source, ATM_Andy

    From "changed" I shouldn't be at all surprised if they've adopted something more like Ferrari's design. I wonder if they've abandoned aluminium nuts...

    Has the DRS zone been extended? It was pretty pathetic last year.

    The press conference should be worth a read:

    Did anyone watch it? Sky carried it live.

    I'm not sure but I regret posting his mad twitterness now. There was no moment between Alonso and Vettel. He made three mistakes in six words.
