It'll be funny if come next Sunday the McLarens is scraping along the track almost beached.
I am waiting for the press release that LH was shouting excited profanities down the radio again...

Exactly, that was exactly what I thought when I saw the exact wording of the FIA's statement

When would McLaren's system get the thumbs up/down in China?
Yippeeeee!
Got some autographed cards from Karun Chandhok in the post yesterday Hand-written letter & envelope as well - that's what I call fan dedication!!
I want to put them in one of those picture frames that just look like a sheet of glass (with no border); does any one know that those are called?
Cheers,
Su

Was that due to being his 10,000 twitter follower? The frames are called clip frames?

Chandhok is doing both himself and HRT a lot of good. He seems completely genuine, as seen in some of the interviews he did over the first 3 races - especially in Bahrain. Honest, but also not complaining about the car or the team. Happy just to be there and hopeful for the future.
I'm liking the guy more and more.
Plus he tweets more than most of the other drivers
Probably on par with Heikki, who is another one who has gone up in my estimation this year so far. The amount of goodwill I'm feeling towards some of the chaps in the paddock - especially 2 of the new teams is almost unprecedented.

I just saw this tweet and decided to try my luck...
And the rest is history

Heikki is doing more promo stuff......because he has less driving to do....what a shocker!!!
I do like Chandhok a lot, he does seem very genuine and hope he has some measure of success in F1

Huh...
Heikki's done more laps this year than half the grid. Including both Force Indias, Shumacher, Vettel and Hulkenberg.
Actually - as a team, Lotus have more racing laps than anyone else other than McLaren and Ferrari.
So why aren't those guys tweeting more?
German magazine casting doubts on the Korean GP being held this October.
I must say, I'm utterly distraught at the potential loss from the calendar this season of a TilkeDrome. Really. Absolutely distraught.

Oh, sorry. Delighted, not distraught. Always getting those two mixed up.

but he didnt because lotus missed loads of test days

Testing all well and good, but it's not racing.
Since when has the amount of testing laps mattered when it comes to the championship?
Testing does give you practise in the car. And it does count for "something", when we have only had 3 races to date. Obviously, once we reach mid-season, what happened during testing, in January/February will be forgetten and count for little.

Surely Lotus did a lot less testing than McLaren (ie Heikki's former team), which is what I was referring to - and you said yourself Lotus havent done as many laps as McLaren....... given the driver in question the only reasonable comparison is McLaren
I would also bet that in general he has a lot less to do now he isnt working for McLaren
May have been a bit of a flippant comment but based on good reasoning
