No rush. Most of us will still be alive in a year or so.

Found this too, scanned from a print. 2007 Brooklands Centenary. Can't recall if it was Lewis. MP4-21.

Jenson maybe?

 

[Patrick Dixon]

Looks like Button

 

[canonman]

Found it. Gary Paffett, test driver for McLaren that year and DTM driver.

And McLaren are not supposed to have a sense of humour:

Just nobody that can design a winning race car?

Really looking forward to Sunday's race. Weather for saturday looks like low/mid 20s for qualifying with a slight chance of showers, but for Sunday it is looking like only 19/20 with a 90% chance of showers.

Sorry but F1 is only for girls, the Group B Rally cars of the the 80's were for men with balls and unfortunately spectators with no brains.

Audi 4 wheel drive 900 BHP anyone, no tarmac.

 

[Tony Lockhart]

They didn't have 900hp in Group B.

Interesting comments that the problem with the Honda was Mclaren's packaging requirements.

 

[Tony Lockhart]

That packaging problem has been talked about since the McLaren/Honda partnership problems surfaced.

Can't help but notice that almost everyone other than LH went over seven tenths quicker in FP2.

I suspect he was told to reign it in a little. Headlines look better.

 

[Tony Lockhart]

Fuel loads, number of laps, tyre compounds, red herrings and trickery......

 

[Tony Lockhart]

Hamilton in the British car with a British engine totally outclasses the best of the rest in qualifying.

 

[merlin]

There's that seven tenths again.

Ominous.

 

[Bananahead]

Maybe it's a pity that it took German management to make it happen
