Impressive place id hate to think of the cost of all the technology. I believe that all of the teams bar maybe Hispania, Vigin, Lotus have something similar although im unsure if it is as impressive as the Mclaren one.

After this morning maybe they should re-direct some cash towards the actual car? I really like JB but cannot help but be somewhat dissapointed in his progress today. I thought Lewis did well but he is driving beyond what the car can do IMHO and throwing it around for a whole race is not going to work at that track is it?

Wishing for rain kind of sums the whole thing up.

I just really hope Mark beats Vettel and takes the crown this year, I really do.

Didnt see the live broadcast but watched the highlights at 1pm
From what I saw of Mission Control it was DC creeping outside the room saying we cannot let you see anything, then after quali when inside saying we cannot show you anything so to my mind it was a pointless exercise. DC could have said exactly the same from outside any office in Woking

I imagine he's only there because of his DTM commitments - the travel time to the circuit is a bit crazy (5 hour bus ride from the airport!)

DC wouldn't do that though. He says in his autobiography that it's good manners to clean your own skid marks when you're a guest in someone else's bathroom. laugh

I was just about to put something similar. I'm sure he even said 'It's very difficult to do a skid free dump'.

It was more along the lines of if he did not clean up the skids (not necessarily his own) someone else would have to iirc.

Morning all!

Well, it did seem a touch bland, but then so did the staff........... Maybe they should paint it a bit more of an exciting colour to liven the team up.....

I did notice that they wouldn't let the cameras see the Big Board.

DC was very careful with his questions! Was this a waste of BBC money?

How is not flying someone halfway around the world, not putting them up in a hotel for several days and not feeding the for days a waste of money?
