He must have been unlucky in the way he went off to hit a wall, but they all go off at some point. If he'd had a half spin or trip through the gravel nobody would be talking about it.

 

i wonder what the mclaren will perform like when they eventually turn up the engine power apart from blowing up

 

Teflonso has said nothing on the accident. The wind theory came from the team ...

 

Alonso still in hospital. Seems strange.

 

its explained in this article

Things are really starting to heat up now, only two days left of testing.
And only a couple of weeks until Melbourne!

Merc has shown what they are capable of in regard of ultimate pace, 7 tenths of a second in front of williams. Wow.
Barcelona is regarded as a circuit which highly favors aerodynamics, so the W06 is obviously well sorted.

And McLaren racked up over a hundred laps today, which is great to see.
Granted, the car had a failure on the 101st lap but still. A huge step forward for them.

Man, I can't wait for the 2015 season to start

 

 

I'm going to Silverstone this yr on a tight ass Sunday ticket. Where's best to park and stay?

 

I've found the official park and rides to be pretty good. Never had to wait more than 45 mins to get a bus back. Depends if you want to do the traffic queues to get to the on circuit car parks I guess.

Can't help you with where to stay though but I'd suggest booking soon. Doing the same with Spa this year and I'm having to stay a long way from the circuit to get a sensible hotel price.

 

Alonso to miss Australia:

But he's perfectly okay and they can find no evidence of injury.
