Lol @ Button "unbelievable understeer"

Isn't that his catch phrase?

Jaime is a good commentator actually.

Bit 50/50 interesting guy, just wasn't the best at getting round the bloke who pokes him with a hot fork to read silly catch phrases of a script. Not sure id enjoy him for a whole race.

That Red Bull looks so so planted, argh

actually I take back what I said about the mclaren nose, it looks ok from outside the car but from the driver's perspective it doesn't look good

Still prefer the old spec nose then, but I don't care if that's a sacrifice for better performance!

Yep if they were quick before and its worth changing towards this higher front route, it can only be good.

Jaime is quite a funny to listen too (this is the first time this season iv had a chance to watch all the coverage)

Plus the backwards camera from the nose is pretty cool!

 

[smr]

Jenson looking more comfortable now

lol at the williams mechanics

 

[JonnyGLC]

So, Hamilton just needs the old three and a half turns on the front wing and he'll be up there too

 

[TaKeN]

Had to laugh then at Bruno Senna leaving those awful tyre marks in the garage for his mechanics to attempt to scrub off

 

[smr]

One dusty looking RBR, gravel!

hamiltons looks the same, a 'smooth step' to the flat nose.

McLaren looking like they might be back on the pace

McLaren looking like they might be back on the pace

When was the last time McLaren won 3 races in a row?

 

[JonnyGLC]

When was the last time McLaren won 3 races in a row?

2008? Hamilton won a couple and the Kovalinen got a win as well. Britain, Hungary and Germany.
