oh sorry. yes, you're quite right. rosberg did very well, indeed better than hamilton. because hamilton didn't improve his start position (FACT).
do we have to put that (FACT) after every fact now?
Did you smile at all when typing that? ... do we have to put that (FACT) after every fact now?

I wonder if mclaren are simply concentrating on 2015 and Honda rather than putting all their efforts into a car and engine combination they know is only for one season?
By wonder I mean (as a long-time mclaren fan) "hope"
That's how I read it when Ron was interviewed at the end of last year. This year will be suck and see. Apparently Honda have been working on this F1 V6 longer then any other manufacturer and rated it very highly. Time will tell.By wonder I mean (as a long-time mclaren fan) "hope"

i think a little bit of whoosh is involved, mg john was saying you can prove things either way with the same facts.do we have to put that (FACT) after every fact now?
fact is though hammilton is better than nico.
just read this:
Because someone waved a chequered flag at Lewis Hamilton on the wrong lap, the results in Shanghai have to be changed. According to the FIA’s Article 43.2 of the Sporting Regulations, “should for any reason the end-of-race signal be given before the leading car completes the scheduled number of laps, or the prescribed time has been completed, the race will be deemed to have finished when the leading car last crossed the line before the signal was given”. This means that Kamui Kobayashi’s last-minute overtake on Jules Bianchi does not count, the race having been declared at 54 laps.

Surprised someone on the Red Bull pit wall didn't wave one after the second lap given that rule.Because someone waved a chequered flag at Lewis Hamilton on the wrong lap, the results in Shanghai have to be changed.

Next years car will still be a development of this years experience though... and they already have the best engine available, their weakness lies elsewhere.By wonder I mean (as a long-time mclaren fan) "hope"
My son and his MG and Rover mad mates have gone to Donnington today. I wonder who they'll be cheering for ..
I was tempted to go but me old bones do not like these wintery conditions. Any road up, I'll see more of the action in good old 2D on my TV monitor ... Anyway, a plus will be to get some work done on the ZT turbo in between races.
Who won in China by the way ?

Watched the race on fast forward - didn't expect to be a good one. High tyre deg and fuel saving wasn't going to lend itself to entertaining racing. Good to see Vettel getting beat again by DR - I wonder if RB have started to think why they are paying him so much - a true champion will be able to turn this around, so lets see what Vettel can do.
Was there anything to watch in the pre and post F1 shows or should i stay with BTCC ?

They all went for the safe option on wets and then had to try and save tyres from early on. Hondas looked like they got their setup totally wrong. Let's see what happens in race 2.
