Feel sorry for Mark 'no kers' Webber. His side of the team seems to balls up his car/strategy/chances on a regular basis. I've never really rated him as a top driver, but I do admire his grit and determination, and he could have done so much better without all the problems. I wonder how his replacement will fare? Ah well, nearly time for the procession to begin.
Those moaning about the coverage, you get exactly the same in other countries Spain for Alonso, Germany for Vettel. Way it has always worked, get over it and focus on the racing.
I haven't watched any of the sky build up in about a year. Just turn it on 2 minutes before the start.
Trust me I don't like the coverage but the fact is that's the way F1 coverage has always worked the broadcasters will focus on the best performing 'home' drivers. In an ideal world we would have non bias coverage but that is not going to happen any time soon.
It used to happen with Coulthard and Button just as much as with Hamilton. Remember ITV's title sequence with all four British drivers in in 2008?
Ferrari have heat problems? Will the fires of pre season testing come back to haunt them? Todt looking pretty happy, Concorde must be signed then.
See this has always confused me, white is lesser of a conductor of heat "sunshine" than black for example which can reflect basically nothing, so why the hell would Lotus choose black of all colours and make heat problems like this worse in effect?
They will paint the cars with reflective (not matte) paint though so it shouldn't make much of a difference.
