Red Bull bitching? Yes I remember lots of that. ;-)

2016 calendar is out, I hope it's not written in stone yet..

They've neatly arranged a grand prix, the Azerbaijani (?) Grand Prix, to fall on the same weekend as Le Mans.
Hulkenberg must be thrilled with this

They've got Baku a week after Canada, so that's got to be quite tough on the logistics. If they move it a week later they then it's back to back with Austria which surely makes a lot more sense geographically.

Good news all round. Jenson staying in F1 with Mclaren, more mechanical grip next year and better sounding engines.

This must have helped Jenson with the decison:

"The McLaren statement made it clear that he would be retained on the terms of his original contract, which dictates a pay rise from $10m (£6.9m) to $15m (£10.3m) next season."
