Guessing whoever posted it forgot about the Russian GP in Sochi this year and they all felt a certain tightening sensation.

It's been deleted, what did it say?

 

[BenjiSayers]

Might have been this....

Lotus F1 needn't concern themselves with Sochi and the surrounding political furore over gay rights in Russia, it creates a fist in mouth problem for China, Bahrain, India and whatever other country F1 will soon be going to (Sochi Race!).

As the tweet has now been deleted I can only presume that there was a difference of opinion in the PR department on the stance to take and that person or people have now been sacked for making that tweet.

What are your thoughts Cosimo?

Sacked?
That would be harsh.

They probably havnt been paid in a few months and wanted a kick before another team employed them

A fast demo run of 80s turbo F1 machines at the Goodwood Members Meeting at the end of March and a late 80s McLaren being prepared. Surely not a coincidence....

Sadly I just get to look at it......but that is enough to give me a semi

Bathurst 12 hour this weekend.

Went up for the Saturday. Watched Q2 and 3 and the support races. You can walk just about anywhere, behind the pits and sit in some pits. It's been massively hot, 37-38c air temp, so almost 60c on track.

Lots of variety in engine and car styles. I like the Audi R8 and Lambo Gallardo nice overall package, but I think the Ferrari will win.

The track was resurfaced after the Bathurst 1000 and is super smooth and grippy.

Again a kangaroo gets on the track and ruins someone race and a few hundred if not into a million dollars of damage. They really need to either fence it off totally which will spoil it for spectators or relocate/shoot them all before the race.

And one reason why you shouldn't have gulwing doors...

Looks like LOLtus-Genii-Renault-whateverthe****theyarethisweek aren't standing behind that tweet at all - apology issued, mostly because it was bad for Genii's business interests.

Hey ho.
