    Someone would have spotted it and said it earlier rather than now. I think it's BS tbh.

    Pretty sure it would only get a positive spin in the UK though.

    Was funny being the only Nico Rosberg fan in a 110,000 crowd <laugh>

    Think I'll have to stick to Seb and RBR so I can see myself on the TV <diva>

    There will probably be way more Kimi "fans" this year as well. Plastic fans!

    I find it shocking that british so called F1 fans are looking forward (or wishing) to Mclaren and Jenson failing!

    I want Kimi to win the championship this year, even though Seb's my favourite driver. Kimi was my favourite driver from 2002-2008 though, so I'm not sure whether I'm plastic or not?

    I wish autosport would stop going on about Hamiltons dog.

    As a major Hamilton fan I still couldn't care less about his bleeding dog.

    Who designed the Mclaren car this year? Goss or Lowe? If it's Lowe could that hamper them?

    I think it might have been Goss actually.
