Alonso said this ''I think from 2007 and fighting with Hamilton in a British team, in a British environment, it was the wrong message that people perceived and spread about me - that from 2007, everyone is surprised about how good I feel and how happy I am''

Esso Supreme is 99 RON now (was 97 RON before) and it's strange because Esso offers Tesco club card points and my Tesco store has a fuel station with Momentum99 RON fuel for the M.
I'm just wondering if both Esso and Tesco are the same fuel.

Yamamoto has said that Honda parting with McLaren was necessary as the car was simply too far behind with it's development.

Well for sure for the first year how can Honda expect McLaren to develop the car when the engine could not even complete pre-season testing.

[TTM0TION]

That was a very tough divorce. I'm a massive McLaren fan but how they handled that was terrible and I'm happy to see Yamamoto stick it to them a little bit. In the end, separating was better for everyone.

It should come as a further embarrassment to Merc who protested angrily twice.

One of the best speeches, if not best that I have heard.

This 'investigation' has to conclude first and the new president just started so maybe just speculation.

IMHO Masi needs to go! I've never seen a F1 race director make so many bad decisions in a single year. His lack of control, logic and leadership is beyond belief.

I've never even been a marshal and could do a better job!!!

I just don't trust the dude! F1 one teams have enough to worries. An incompetent Race Director should be the least of them.

We'll see what FIA conclude with the new President and if Mikey does remain then he will probably have to conform to some new practices during the course of the season.

[M5Rick]

Meanwhile here's some funny interviews with a few of the drivers and you guessed it Ricciardo features the most with VET trying to date smooth talking journo.

[M5Rick]

I'm with Brundle here in that getting rid of Masi won't solve the problem associated with a 23 race calendar coming up, it's too big a job for one person and putting another bod in could make it twice as worse. In the past Balestre was present and made decisions directly.
