    Look at those top times!

    McLaren time much better today. I wonder whether their engine troubles came from Honda turning up the wick a bit to give the team more power.

    Williams drivers both at the bottom of the time sheet after Massa spending days at/near the top shows why test times need to be evaluated w/ an understanding of the teams' daily programs.

    Lots of laps being turned...well, except by McLaren.

    Posted elsewhere by Graham Goodwin as (I assume) an homage to John Surtees:

    The one lap speed of the Ferrari is encouraging, but then I say that every year.....

    I've seen plenty of pics like this but I've been ignoring them, assuming it was a joke or just someone's attempt at livery rendering.

    Nope, it appears to be real.

    I've got to think about this, I wonder how all the crew members will react. Think they will have to wear skinny jeans?

    No, but maybe the new driver (Ocon) will have to wear a matching Pink Power Ranger-esque jumpsuit.

    I kid, of course, have nothing against the new livery. It will certainly stand out on the F1 grid! Also, far from the first time pink has been used on a race car.

    They should try and pick up Pepto as a sub sponsor.
