I see Jenson got the drive for the McLaren seat alongside Fernando Alonso for next year

Yes, it seems so: With McLaren it's always best to wait to see Ron's lips move!

The F1 Forums seem fairly unanimous in applauding the decision, which has to be right when you consider Magnussen doesn't seem very different from Perez. Good, but not good enough.

Well hopefully it will turn out to be correct. Jenson fully deserves the drive alongside Alonso, though I'll be interested to see how Alonso reacts if Jenson outperforms him.

But it must be true, it is reported by the BBC

A desperately sad end for Marussia - all their assets will be flogged off with no reserve

That's one way to get a Race Seat

Some of the Red Bull trophies have been found in a nearby lake

Yeah, Seb had a pang of conscience ;)

 

[sonnetpete]

Apparently Red Bull gives you water wings....

It was a well conceived plan by some dim witted burgler, where did he/she think they were going to offload them

Autosport reporting times of 5GPs moved back an hour, to try and make sure they do not finish in poor light, something which contributed to Jules Bs accident in Japan, rather than try to be nice to European audiences...

The times for Australia (now 4pm), Malaysia (3pm), China (2pm), Japan (2pm) and Russia (2pm) are all one hour earlier than they were in 2014.

If I got it right RTL will cover the whole season and fill in the gaps
for us who can't get the Sky only events. With Marcus Ericsson still taking part
it's the first time in many years that we up in the northern territories have
a reason got get really excited.

Good old RTL! Shame about the ads but a small price to pay to avoid the S_y tax.

Then that would be forward would it not, back would mean they finish in darkness

Think he meant they were starting earlier so the more eastern ones (Japan, Australia) would be on in the small hours of the morning. I see Bernie is trying to get South Africa back in the fold again....no problem with time differences there though....

Yes I agree Pete, he is making the start earlier, i.e. bringing it forward
