Red Bull spotted secretly testing an extreme weather setup at Spa...
We getting ready for Silverstone.
Saw those photo's a couple of days ago. It's truly revolting.
Someone should buy a Deltawing and fit an aircraft canopy. Thats more like it.
SkysportsF1 is just ****.They keep changing the listings... Quali replay at 10AM then at 1PM, none of these have happened and now they have put Practice 3 on instead....
Someone died or something?
(slightly my fault for not putting it on record as i was ment to wake up to watch it, but didn't)

Q1 happened after a 30 minute delay, then it rained more, then they delayed Q2 and 3 until it was too late to get it in before dark. So its been postponed till 11am tomorrow which is midnight for us.
They can't rerun qualifying as it hasn't happened yet

Did you not look properly at the listings?
Remember when Button put in that fast lap out of the box in Jerez and everyone thought they were the team to beat?
Turns out the factory had installed the suspension the wrong way round!

Hamiltons move all of a sudden doesn't seem like such a bad idea given the mess Mclaren seem to be in this year...

Wow, we've had one third of an official session this season and all of a sudden McLaren are rubbish.
Granted, their car isn't as quick as others, but they're in a heck of a better place than Ferrari were at this point last year when they overhauled their car in a similar way that McLaren have this year.

It does sound worrying that they want to revert to last years car!
Have they actually said this?
I'm getting major Deja Vu. A switch to pullrod suspension and then difficulty in getting stability at the rear end, and rumours of going back to last years car. Its Ferrari all over again.

I think it was one of the commentators on sky that said whitmarsh had made this comment. I am sure someone else can probably find a link on this. Worrying if true. I remember the comment because I found it so surprising!
I can see red bull walking this one.
