Re: the horns on the Beemer - I think BMW have one of McLaren's old Aero boys. Can't remember his name though, so I can't confirm it.
MrK,I replied to your query but have heard nothing back.
I don't think I got an email... I'll check what I've got on my profile.

According to McLaren Hamilton never said what the media have been saying he said. Which makes sense because the radio transmissions are endcoded aren't they. How would some British hack know what was said so quickly after the race. And now the official stewards have heard the transmissions when investigating the pitstop thing themselves McLaren would look silly if they say he didn't and people outside the team know they did and can say, "ah but he did" which they won't if he didn't.
aaaahhhh, so this is where Alistair Campbell works nowadays...Autosport said:
McLaren deny Hamilton used curse words
McLaren have denied Lewis Hamilton had used curse words during a radio conversation with team boss Ron Dennis in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
British newspapers reported after the Saturday's infamous incident that Hamilton had had a heated discussion with Dennis after the Briton had been held up during qualifying and so had missed the chance to complete a final flying lap.
As reported by autosport.com in this week's journal, however, McLaren said on Thursday that those stories were not true, and that Hamilton had never used the "F word" when talking to Dennis.
"Over the last few days there has been some inaccurate and misleading reporting of certain events which transpired during the qualification for the Hungarian Grand Prix," the team said in a statement.
"Whilst the team would normally not comment on such speculation, Lewis has asked us to correct one important matter of untrue critical commentary. It has been reported that Lewis used the "F word" to Ron Dennis over the team radio immediately after the qualification session had been completed.
"The team have investigated this claim and reviewed the radio transmissions and we can categorically confirm that Lewis did not use the "F word" at any time during any conversation with the team.
"The team and Lewis are extremely disappointed that the use of the "F word" appears to have been invented and repeated to the media."

Surtees said he was also disappointed that Hamilton was accused of swearing over the radio during an exchange with Dennis over the qualifying incident.
"The resulting misreporting over language used I found disappointing, as here we have a young man who has presented himself off the track in an exemplary manner, communicating well and everything about him showing the pleasure that he gets from what he is doing: a role model for all.
"To try and bring it down to a level that is common place with our so called stars of the world of football is disappointing at the very least."
It was just media stirring, someone who had no access to the encoded pits radio must have said they heard from a friend of a friends red shirt wearing friend that they did."The resulting misreporting over language used I found disappointing, as here we have a young man who has presented himself off the track in an exemplary manner, communicating well and everything about him showing the pleasure that he gets from what he is doing: a role model for all.
