Finally got a chance to watch Senna with full english subs. If you haven't seen it with subs, watch it again. Freaking amaizing.

I was kind of surprised to see Martin Donnelly's crash featured in the film. I didn't know how it had affected Senna.

Team Radio says they knew about the problem yesterday... so why not just take the penalty and switch it out




edit: and GOD DAMN TSN Commercials every 4-8 laps they go to break and the break lasts 2 laps.....

vergne and perezs cars were touching and they both slowed to a crawl since a turn was coming up as well

michael was behind he slowed down and then locked his wheels but didn't slow down fast enough and went into the back of vergne

michael says he doesnt know why and that the car just wasnt slowing down like it should/normally does (he was having braking issues during practice but the team says they're still looking into it)

over team radio we heard "what happened there? what happened there!" assuming it was mercedes radio



and yeah 10 place OUCH seems a bit steep but probably because its happened with him before




some good pics

I hope Mercedes steps up their game next year, otherwise this is going to be one of Lewis' biggest mistakes.

Schumacher to Ferrari in '96 (Brawn)
Hamilton to Mercedes in '13 (Brawn)

Don't lose your hopes, Hamilton fans.

Can't wait to see what Perez can do in a front runner.

If Hamilton's contract is multi-years then he is probably looking at 2014 and forward. Regulations and engines are changing in 2014 (Current: 2.4 V8, 2014: 1.6 V6), TERS introduction (Thermal Recovery System instead of KERS), Possible closed canopy cockpit etc..

TeleMex could be a personal sponsor appearing only on Perez's overall or they could out sponsor Vodafone and sponsor McLaren all together.

As for Ferrari Young Driver's program. Personally I think Ferrari is benefiting from Perez going to McLaren because Perez can tone his skills and prove himself in one of the top tier team. After getting all the experience he needs Ferrari will get him out of the McLaren garage.
