 So Lewis turned up at Wolff's press conference and said
HAM to Wolff: "From the Daily Mail, is there any news on the contract?" Wolff: "No news on the contract, to the Daily Mail journalist!"
HAM: "After today's performance have you had any thoughts of upping the ante?" Wolff: "You know we don't discuss contracts in public..."

I don't understand McLaren yes there is a limit to testing but surly they would of had the whole car running on a dyno before testing started to sort out problems.
Bit surprised manor could get it it running as it's supposed to be last years car with a different nose. I guess the car has be rushed together by the cleaner that once so the engine go in so is now chief mech. Not the best way to seek financial backing.
Any links for tight arse like me that cant afford Sky. Not to bothered about tomorrow's race but would like to watch Malaysia live

Mclaren that Honda engine is an absolute pig. Sounds like it's about to break down mid corner.
Lewis  bossed it. Fuck off and study the data Nico. Be a good teachers pet.

The Honda engine is apparently massively detuned so it does not blow up. I can see people in Japan been given swords to fall onto unless they sort there shit out and fast. If they get it all together it might well be a good package but at the moment they would be better off with 50cc two stroke motor!

I read the Hamilton interview thing via Adam Cooper on Twitter but couldn't work out if it was true! If it's in the jokey way I'm reading it that's great, it always seems to me that outside influences can affect his driving but if he's relaxed and messing about playing jokes on his boss that can only be good.
Regarding Manors issues it seems because all their equipment was going to be sold to pay creditors all their hard drives were wiped so software wise they've had to start entirely from scratch. Obviously they haven't had the time to get it all sorted, shame for those involved, not sure it's going to get any easier for them either.

Seems like a complete waste of money to kart all the gear and blokes over there though.
Suppose if they can secure some sponsors, it'd be worthwhile. But I can't see it happening.

I wish it was today. can't wait for lights out. Everyone seems to be having issue's with the medium compound tyre at t1 so i wouldn't mind betting a few midfield guys go steaming in and do a kobayashi.

Nice. How many races are on sky?
Bbc coverage is appaling compared to sky, but ifyou're just interested in the race, it doesn't matter really.

Yes but if he's got a nowtv box he'll probably watch the ones on bbc and pay for sky when they aren't. Hardly difficult to understand that, is it?

Bottas missing the Race due to an Annular Tear on a Lower disc in his back.
Should be back in the seat for Malaysia, but it's tentative.

Might as well just give the constructors title to Merc now, incredible how far in front of every other team they are. Also lol at Whitters sour grapes.
I bet Jensen's wishing he had been sacked last year now, that's just embarrassing for a team with their resources, I didn't expect them to be competitive from the off but last, lapped twice and 40s behind the nearest car? Shocking.
