This was Brands Hatch in what was supposed to be the season opener of British Superbikes in April 2008.

I hope they're not going to get free food during race weekends, because fat Alonso and Vandoorne wouldn't be good for the team. ;)

Gelael's father sure likes throwing money around. I remember when KFC Indonesia sponsored the entire Formula 2 grid for the Malaysia race. And I'm pretty sure they also sponsored the entire Formula 3 grid when Gelael or one of his buddies was racing there.

It's a bit annoying that Sky Sports F1 aren't showing the testing live. I appreciate it all costs money but come on, you have a dedicated F1 channel. Use it.

Hartley says the Honda has more power than last year's Renault.

So with Renault announcing that they plan to run with 2017 power levels in the season's opening events, McLaren will once again have the least power

So this is the first time I'm 100% following f1 since the Schumacher through to the first Kimi years. All this talk of engine power being held back etc just to smacks of dragonball z where it was always a piss measuring contest of "ohhh, you have only seen a taste of my true power" "ah but I have not reached my limit" just an observation lol

There is a real chance of snow for Wednesday, so teams could reach a mutual agreement to extent the test to Friday. Only Williams could argue against, because they have a filming day

Love this. I like that there's a camera in the Halo facing the driver, too. Can't wait to get that kind of footage during races.

Ted explaining the halo through the medium of chicken bones and a miniature bus is a thing to behold.

Honda has been such a joke for 3 years that people think it's an amazing thing that an engine lasted nearly 100 laps.

The Halo is already hard to swallow and these people are attaching wings to it...

Bacardi group made an announcement today. They will not continue their Martini sponsorship with Williams...
Welp, that's not very unsurprising seeing Martini wanted a 24+ y/o old driver.
...
I'll take off my tinfoil hat now.

Yep Williams probably knew that they wanted to drop the sponsorship so they didn't care about their rule and were so eager to collect the Russian money. It's sad to see how the teams outside of the top 4 are really struggling to attract bigger sponsors.

The big joke about the Martini sponsorship age demand is that all they got from it last year was Massa's not particularly marketable mug.

I think it's safe to say that we can scrub anything that isn't reliability or car-handling related testing for the whole of this week, judging by the weather forecast for Barcelona.

Since we're supposedly over the halo, can we talk shit about the new graphics now? From font to colors, it's all ugly, and not the "you'll get used to it" ugly. "Barely even functional" ugly.
