2012 Spanish GP - Race Thread

[Greig]

Never said I believe one or the other was just saying.

[Kyss4k]

Whitmarsh says nobody has left the team

Yesterday, he was telling everyone that they have had technical problems and it will be fine I wouldn't believe anything he says.

EDIT: ok, you were quicker.

[scuderiafan]

Byron Young.

Just what #McLaren need today - some bonehead pretending to be a dissatisfied member of staff claiming four people have quit

But I guess he got that info from MW. Interesting.

[Hermann]

With twitter you never know, it might be a hoax. But it certainly stirred up the press so far!

[Kingdom Hearts]

I was just asking.

[Hermann]

Has anyone seen MW interview on sky? Apparently Kravitz asked why they didn't put more fuel before the flying lap, Whitmarsh said they thought they'd get away without punishment

[Katu]

Byron Young.

well it sure was funny while it lasted

Yep. That's exactly how I heard it as well.

[scuderiafan]

It was. Sorry guys for false info.
People would do anything for some attention and followers

Martin getting grilled by Ted.

[jocaranz]

how is fernando's grid position at the first turn?

[Hermann]

Yep. That's exactly how I heard it as well.

Maybe some here should apologize to Domenicali. Got to say that he handled Germany 2010 a lot better than MW is handling this.

Kravitz: 'why didn't you abort the lap when you knew?'
MW: 'we didnt think he would incur this punishment and it was better to finish the lap'
Kravitz: 'but you'd be 6th now, not 24th'
MW: 'yes'

Kravitz: 'why did you claim 'force majeure' or unavoidable mistake when it was clearly human error?
MW: 'we think it means something different'

Why not? He is a decent guy, don't confuse him with Ron Dennis.

[FerrariFanBoii]

The Lotus are who I'm afraid of, if Alonso can out gun Maldonando at the start, we're safe for now. :)

[hakanabi]

I can't believe Martin said that to Ted.

[fronaldo]

how weather and track temp now..

[Hermann]

I can't believe Martin said that to Ted.

But he did. And it was on TV.

Lotus will be right up there I am afraid, no matter what the track tempeture is.

[Kyss4k]

Well he was his teacher... And yesterday he showed us his lying skills.

[EL NANO]

Guys, apparently 4 guys have left/walked out of McLaren last night wow, I don't think even Ferrari were this bad even in Spain last year, or this year.

One thing you can say about our team, is that they have stayed calm even when the car hasn't been performing, while all this BS about Ferraubers, Salo etc. and now have come back.

I have always said that what defines a great team isn't what they do when winning, but what they do when they aren't.
Let's see what McLaren do about this.

[hakanabi]

Out of topic, does anyone know how old is MW? Just watching the interview on bib and see all his wrinkles on his face. He does look young for his age even tho don't know what age he is on.

Thank you.

No clear blue sky above track. Looks overcast.

[Hornet]

Sky replayed the start of previous races. Looks like Mal is not that great starter, but the Renault would be a huge threat

[Katu]

Scuderia Ferrari ‏ @InsideFerrari

Meteo: The showers located in the North at 45 Km away are not on the path of the circuit. No rain expected for the beginning of the race.

[stefa]

I am afraid of first couple of corners. Especially first kinda S curve...

[REDARMYSOJA]

Good day everyone!

Here's hoping for a Ferrari win!

Forza Ferrari!

Hope is always there. But is that enough?!

[stefa]

From look at the sky, no rain during race...

[REDARMYSOJA]

Better than no hope at all.
