Why did McLaren dump Paffett? A place for Magnussen or are Honda bringing Kobayashi with them as a test driver?
Because Paffett was Mercedes man.

Nailed it!
I just don't see the logic in keeping Magnussen in a race seat next season, the only thing guaranteed is him being on the receiving end of a vicious consecutive beating by a member of F1's OAP club.
Honda pls! Buy some shares and eject Ronbo out of McLaren Racing.
The ideal scenario would be to dump/farm Magnussen and pair Alonso and Button for the next two seasons. The Stoff can dominate GP2 in 2015, then live and breathe McLaren in 2016, learn from two of the best before he replaces Button.

Nah.
I'd take Soff over Mag and Button at this point.
Great season review podcast

Amazing
I really didn't think Alonso was such a likeable guy.
According to Gazzeta, Vettel drove faster than Fernando on his first shakedown with 2012 car. Looks like logic is not a prime virtue of italian journalists.
9:24 Assets belonging to Marussia will be auctioned off at the team's Banbury base in two weeks' time, by order of FRP Advisory, the administrators of the Formula 1 outfit
FRP Advisory has now ordered the complete closure of the Formula 1 team's headquarters.
...
Items up for sale include Marussia's race cars - including the embryonic 2015 model - trailers, test lab, machine shop and other spare parts.
GERMAN JESUS IS HERE TO SAVE FERRARI.
I wonder if Seb will bother to learn Italian.

Italian press are in panic mode, they have lost their minds.According to Gazzeta, Vettel drove faster than Fernando on his first shakedown with 2012 car. Looks like logic is not a prime virtue of italian journalists.

So looks like KMag then, sad to see Button go bit ah well. If this brings more Danish investment (remember Ron is trying to raise cash to buy more shares) then so be it. I don't believe Alonso would prefer Button either, he would want to be the de facto number 1 after his last McLaren experience.
Read a quote from Button that he is desperate to stay, he knows the car is going to be good.
Yeah but things are a little different now, whole new design team with Peter P as the boss, works team status, new management structure. Lots of optimism going around.Last time he thought the next car would be "good", this ended up being McLaren's worst car since the mid-1990s.

Yeah he actually said that back before the 2008 season started.He also thought the 2009 car would be good

No one watching the 6 hours of Sao Paulo?
Great race.
I would have thought that too but look at the front wing they have knocked out in 9 weeks, an exact replica of the Red Bull. I'm am convinced the MP4-30 will have plenty of Prodromou influence.Didn't Prodromou get there like two months ago? He will have no influence at all on the 2015 car. That thing was designed almost a year ago.
Yeah I've been watching it since the start. Lots of action.
