+ it seems Mercedes do not want videos of their engine coming out. It sounds like a jet about to take off <ok>

Story going about from autosprint that Lotus nose is legal and Ferrari's turbo is considered to be fine by the FIA, which was considered dangerous by Renault and Mercedes. I don't think any judgement has been made though, just that FIA believes it to be safe so I guess Renault and Mercedes are trying to convince them otherwise still. http://autosprint.corrieredellospor...enti-fia-su-turbo-ferrari-e-muso-lotus/12943/

Welcome to Not606!


10:54 A new best - Hamilton comes round in a 1m29.662s.

Vergne, in contrast, is on half chat down the straight.

10:52 The day's two busiest man are at it again - Hamilton heads out in the Mercedes, followed very shortly be Vergne.
