Isn't that the thing they did for a Champ car race back in 2002 or something, very messy looking. 'last' race on old track, 2007 A1 GP: [video=youtube;liSvGaHs1tA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liSvGaHs1tA[/video]
They have a promotional video now.... Almost every corner has been tilked! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDjqcbxgAZU please log in to view this image
not 2015 but more 2016 but looks like Hamilton is worried about his seat here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/28473079 Now rosberg has a longer contract, he fears he could be the one to make way if Merc go for Vettel
If they're concerned about there being minimal run-off for the high-speeds at the Peraltada I don't see why they can't add a small chicane down that back straight to reduce speed going into it (it's practically what they're designed for!). It still wouldn't be as elegant as the older layout obviously, but it'd be a right sight better than what's currently planned.
Rumours from the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jul/26/valterri-bottas-jenson-button-mclaren
I heard a rumour that Alonso was seen at Williams, could he go there while Bottas goes to McLaren? I wonder what massa would think of that?
Even if he did leave Williams, what (other than cash) would tempt him into going to Mclaren I don't know. Williams look like a team on the up, Mclaren still need to turn themselves around. Williams have the dominant Mercedes engines, nobody knows how powerful/reliable Honda power will turn out to be. Assuming no seats open up at Red Bull or Mercedes, there's only really Ferrari that would make sense rather than Williams right now.
Honda and Red Bull appear to be combining in several joint ventures outside of F1 at the moment. With Honda putting its engine base in Milton keynes (RBR) rather than Woking (McL) surely its only a matter of time until McLarens one year exclusive is up and Honda moves to power Red Bull from 2016 as well? In which case I feel the performance of the 2015 McLaren may be damaged as it is turned into more of a test bed
