Just found this little video:

I'm surprised how well Newey seemed to handle himself in an F1 car!

yeah he's a very handy driver, always races his e type well at the revival.

iirc red bull gave him one of the championship winning cars so i'm sure he has used it whenever he's has opportunity!

Any reason why McLaren still use Gary Paffett in the young drivers test in Abu Dhabi? Seeing as he is 31, seems a little pointless. He did 41 laps yesterday and was still 3 seconds behind the fastest time Lewis Hamilton set on Saturday.

Just thought it would make more sense if they actually had two young drivers, not just the one and one old driver who will never make it in F1

Because he is good at the role of test driver.

The young drivers just go for lap times

HRT really are a pointless team.

They are up for sale yet again. When they are brought, it will be the 3rd change of team ownership in 3 seasons.

To be honest though, all 3 of the new teams have been very disappointing.

I'm rooting for Alonso, a bit of rain and a final win for Lewis.
Lets hope someone collects Vettel and Webber in turn 1, Alonso has been the best driver out there punching above his cars performance every race.

 :laugh: Collects - AKA wipes out  :lipsrsealed:

Really looking forward to this. Hope it will be an expecting and exciting race. Rooting for Alonso for title win but want Mclaren 1 2, would be a fitting way to end LH career at Mclaren.

Really don't want either of them to take the title.. Dislike both of them.

Hope Jensen takes the win :)
