Isn't that pic from the oil pressure problem they had yesterday? DLR stopped on circuit 10 mins from the end due to a low oil pressure sensor tripping.

Don't know if this is related, but there have been some rumours that Mercedes have some problems with additional stress caused by KERS.

Is each team going to test '10 tyres? Or did BS give those duties to certain teams?

They may have volunteered, as they might lose out on a day or two's testing this season, but the tyres may be better suited to them / have more data about them.

Please don't tell me that someone cried about a picture of Beavis with a t-shirt over his head...

If it was crybaby bullshit, would the crybabypeepants PM me and tell me what was to offensive. I am seriously stunned that this person has survived this long with all of those disagreeable images that they have had to suffer through up to this point in their pathetic life.

I hope it is not WhiteBlue on yet another holier than thou crusade... I get soooooooooo tired of them...

Please, I WANT THAT PM!

It wasn't a pic from cornholio but the same pic from Vettel that was attached in my reply. Someone kindly asked to remove it since it was shown 2 posts earlier which is understandable. Pardon me if my edit was misleading.

LOL

It's amazing how it goes 2+secs faster instantly in Alonso's hands...do they not trust Piquet with full throttle or something?
