McLaren now have Peter Prodromu who was red-bull's chief aerodynamicist and Newey's right hand man. I imagine that will help address the aero problems they have. Although they do have mechanical grip issues too.

Could go either way next year for McLaren but I will be watching Alonso vs Button with interest. Despite being a Button fan, the likelihood is that Alonso will mostly have the upper hand, but not so much as he had over Raikonnen this year. I really can't figure out why Ferrari have kept Raikonnen. He's not actually very good most of the year.

Good question and explanation but no reason given for Jock Clear's departure or where he has gone to

I'm cancelling Sky now because I was essentially paying £45 (£540 per year)a month for the F1 channel which is stupid.
Android TV box plus XBMC = Sky F1
What about HD though? As far as I am aware paying for the F1 also includes the HD pack, if I cancel the F1 pack and buy the above package then will I lose the SKY HD package hmmm?

I'd be interested to hear which Android TV box you are using and which streaming service? I've played around with this and had mixed results on my Raspberry Pi.

BBC 2015 line up...

29 March - Malaysia
19 April - Bahrain
7 June - Canada
5 July - Great Britain
26 July - Hungary
23 August - Belgium
27 September - Japan
11 October - Russia
15 November - Brazil

At least we get Canada, Hungary and Belgium this year.
Just a shame we are missing the Australian, German, Italian and US GP's. Looks like I'll have to watch those races online again.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at getting a MINIX NEO X8-H Plus as my Droid box so I can watch Sky Sports. The MiniX box is a little bit more expensive, but does get some impressive glowing reviews and comments.
