Boullier moves from Lotus to McLaren.

Makes a Braun move to McLaren look less likely ...

New McLaren launched, looks good bar the weird nose which is obviously the standard now



In their true troll style lotus tried to steal the limelight on twitter and also released a cg picture of theirs... interesting thing being I can spot 2 ant-eater type bits on this one (unless that's just been added in for the sake of it)

Didn't see that one coming.

I think Brawn will end up at Williams.

So we have a road car called the 'Ferrari The Ferrari' and a race car called the 'F3RR4R1 F14T'

I guess it does look like a Doblo.

Mercedes first to test. Sorry, not "test", it was a "filming day" at Silverstone:

I've found the noise of the V8's to be pretty dull in recent years. The V10's were just musical in their howl, but once the rev limits came in and the exhausts started being tuned for aero dynamic use the noise became bland. Maybe in person having it shake your filings loose it's better, but on TV, meh.

I was googling to see if anywhere had worked out who would have been WC if double points had been implemented when the current points system was introduced. Can't be arsed to do the maths myself.

Anyone seen anything like this ?


McLaren doesn't look too bad but that Lotus is hideous....
