    Today they had a flashback to last year's tests with a total of three un-timed laps. Reported coolant leak ended their week.

    Merc just turns up the wick a little more. Looks like it could another one sided season.

    I'm looking forward to next year more than this one. Next year we get the wider cars with more mechanical grip and less areodynamics, wider tires meant for flat-out racing...

    This year might be good though. If Ferarri really can take the race to the Mercs.

    I agree. I'm tired of seeing Nico in 2nd place for the Driver's championship, would be nice to see him in 3rd or 4th.:D

    This is one of those unusual situations where I actually agree with Lewis Hamilton. And I assume he's holding back. I think it's a stupid idea.

    I'm in agreement that it's not a great idea.

    Heck, let's just vote for the winner each race and save lots of fuel and time.

    After a disastrous start to pre-season testing, there was more bad news for McLaren today as Fernando Alonso was spotted lurking around other teams’ garages asking if they ‘needed any help’.

    Spies within the McLaren camp says that with the MP4-31 in a frequent state of malfunction, the Spanish driver has divided his time between skulking around other teams’ areas asking for work and browsing the internet for a new deckchair.

    ‘Fernando came into our garage yesterday,’ revealed a source from one front-running operation. ‘He hung around for a bit making small talk then, just as he was leaving, he asked if we needed any help with “you know, driving and stuffâ€.’

    ‘Alonso was hanging around our stuff for ages yesterday,’ said an engineer for another well-known team. ‘After a while he looked at our data and loudly said, “Nice times. I wonder if I could do better in this car? Wouldn’t it be funny to find out, perhaps here, or maybe in Melbourne†then he laughed nervously, stopped for a minute, grabbed a spanner off the bench and ran off.’

    ‘With his own car not working, I think he just wants to have a go in a Mercedes or a Ferrari or a Red Bull or a Williams or a Force India or a Renault or a Sauber or a Toro Rosso or a Haas or a Manor or a lawn tractor,’ said F1 journalist Maurice Ital. ‘Basically, anything that’s faster.’

    Not surprisingly, that was from Sniff Petrol, where I particularly liked:

    It's all in the setup, while the first two are Mercedes powered, the next two are Ferrari engine cars.....and they're only 1 or 2 mph slower.....

    GrandPrix247 wants to know what you think of the new (yet to be approved) qualifying format...sort of. It's really just a simple, single question poll "IS THE NEW QUALIFYING FORMAT GOOD FOR F1?" with YES and NO answer options but it only takes a few seconds.
