Looks more exciting than a Michael Bay movie.

It just needs Megan Fox suggestively bending over an engine.

I wish Sam Michael could just go back to Williams already. Or just get out of Mclaren.


I ont know what he's done for this comment?


Contributed to one of the most high profile downfalls of a once multiple World Championship team where they became one of the worst performing teams in F1, and then joins another high profile team and then they suddenly look out of sorts like never before. Might be paranoia, but I can't help it. :hehe:


What? McLaren made a catalogue of errors last season as well.

This is just the 2012 edition.

That's tough. Hopefully they're not bad and are limited to mostly first degree and some second degree.... otherwise the poor guy is in for a long and painful recuperation process.

Hopefully they won't have any problems getting a special exemption (force majeur) for new parts such as engines and gearboxes, etc.

Werent they due new gearboxes anyway?

Im so pleased that guy id doing well, I hadnt realisd his burns were so exensive. Sir Frank sounds remarkably calm given the circumstances. I do hope thay can race at Monaco. There will be spare bits to make a new car wont there?

I would imagine that most teams have a 3rd chassis made up ready to go in event of tub getting written off.
