    My cousin goes to Eton so it's best I don't comment on that

    I don't think he was great a great chairman but he was good. Frank thought he was brilliant and would probably have kept him on for years to come. I presume they have been working up to a season like this, which was probably kick started properly by Pastor's money.

    Downwash effect of exhausts. Seem to be blowing on the tyres somewhat.

    I really enjoyed this race, Perez was awesome :yes:

    Vettel was unnecessarily rude about Kartikayan, he explained why he moved back onto the track, would Vettel rather he had gone off and crashed?

    Some teams are trying to blow the brake ducts. Others are trying to blow the lower beam wing.

    McLaren have aimed theirs like that, just going around the back of the tyres a little, where the brake and suspension rods are, I presume by doing that the air gets pushed towards the lower rear wing. Well exactly that picture in fact. Their exhaust system is slightly further back and have the top cut away so the air gets pushed down the back of the side pod more. I saw a great info-graphic about it but it was ages ago.

    I found one of the Mercedes one FDRW too, I'll post it up later.

    They have Alain Prost driving on ice next week.
    At last, somebody's taken the initiative to show a little more of the usually private driver. One of the greatest drivers ever, such a legend...my eyes lit up when I saw the preview for next week. It's stuff like this that makes me glad Sky took over, it would never have been done by the BBC.
