Auto Motor & Sport has nice statistical updates after every race worth checking out.
Now for Sepang:
- FI brings new parts, especially a new resonator. They are still expected to not look as good as in Australia, Sauber should be quicker.
- LOT brings a bunch of new parts, want to try a complete new exhaust system and hood in FP
- most other teams plan the next bigger updates for China
- FER very happy with the old Toyota wind tunnel in Cologne, Germany; but think the ways from Cologne - Maranello are too long, thus everything feels a bit to slow
- MCL expected to bounce back, as the track layout should favor the new car
- MCL sponsor speculation running rampant, its said to be Gillette and not Telmex (for Vodafone)
- Horner told Lauda that he thinks he´s so often at the RBR Pavillon, Lauda should pay for meals. Lauda answered if all journalists get treated like that at RBR...
- More and more F1 retirees work as journos: Jones (Channel 10), Villeneuve (Sky Italia), Montagny and Prost (Canal +), Danner and Lauda (RTL), Surer (Sky Germany), Brundle and Hill (Sky GB), Coulthard (BBC), Gene (RAI)
- Hill and Prost not going to return as ex-drivers in the race commission. Both found it to hard to judge fairly in short time.
- HAM is said to become much easier going, he joked on several sponsor events like never before
- to stop racing after Q1 in Melbourne is said to be a powerplay, race control wanted to show Bernie that the times are too late (too close to darkness)
