In the turkey diffuser pic, is that a profile going across the bottom of the mid section?
It's hard to tell in that lighting.

That is the dolly they push the car around on in the pits and to tech inspect.

What is the function of that little filter in the fuel cap?
Thanks

[ISLAMATRON]

breather element, allows fuel fumes to escape out of the tank

check out the new rear wheel covers, now bending inwards towards the center (compared to those tried in monaco), If I am not mistaken those are new.

[arporter]

Johnny Walker is a brand of Diageo

[ISLAMATRON]

mAybe take off the Johny Walker cuz its a muslim country?

[Ciro Pabón]

Is it now a muslim country? No, no, please, don't answer me... I beg you.

[epitaf]

With a huge brand like that, it might just be they want to advertise a different "name" in this part of the world.

Majority(99%) Muslim population... and the government is finally becoming more democratic and thus the Islamists are coming into power and influence more and more... hopefully the military can be kept under control.

This car doesnt seem to be doing anything positive this weekend. Its a mystery how it ran so well in the practice and then behaved like a stubborn mule in the qualifying. You could actually see the drivers fighting the car, especially Lewis' car, what the hell is wrong with it? Its like it has a mind of its own.

the season is over for them

if mclaren is smart they wont invest anymore money in this year.

i think both lewis and heikki said as the track got hotter the grip just went away and the other cars got faster and faster

the confidence he lost during the 1st corner of his lap cost him, he was 3 tenths down on heikki and sutil in the second sector, if he'd done that he would've made it into q2 and been 2/3 spots higher on the grid, not that it'll make much difference

i really hope they have got a handle on what's going wrong with the car for this supposed big update, for their reputation as a racing team at least and to give the drivers something they're able to push with, they're never gonna have the fastest car now but it'd be nice to see them be able to attack and not have the knife edge handling this....thing....seems to have

it's a shame also since it's the prettiest thing out there
