It still doesnt feel right that JB is a Mclaren driver. He doesnt look right in the gear either.

According to his twitter page he is in Hawaii. The video must be pre recorded even though I didnt think he was allowed to work till the new year. My brother said he had been to the MTC since signing

The wing doesn't look like anything I saw last year. Or am I wrong?

yes i heard from some people that was recorded message. He for sure doesn't use the staff entrance to the factory so if he did come to the factory he probably sneeked in the back door lol

p.s what the F&&& he doing in Hawaii?? should he be with the team at the factory?? unless he is training with his ironman competition or something? I know jessica is there too so maybe a holiday (wtf again these f1 drivers lol)

Thats the same wing that was used at Monaco and Hungary last year as those are the two highest downforce cuircits we have.

The problem is he has had the last couple months for holiday and training... if he is as serious as he should be he would have stepped through the door while everybody was yelling MERRY NEW YEAR and had his ass in the simulator seat 1 minute later.

It is only 1 month till testing starts and he i wasting time in HAwaii, does not do much to dispel his play boy image, if he continues like that HAmilton will make him look even sillier than most of us think he will. I bet Hamilton has been in the simulator at least couple times a week since season ended.

Sounds like he doesn't have a set of keys to get into the factory just yet.. but you're right, he could've asked to borrow Lewis'

So why do you assume he wasn't training prior to Hawaii?

The guy just won the WDC, and just signed for a new team. I'm sure if he needed to be at the factory during this time, he would be.

Assuming he is the idiot in your assumptions is the funny part.

He's spent 10 years in F1. He knows all about what's coming and what he needs to do, he's not some new kid needing to learn the effects of various setup options on the sim.

Relaxing is the best thing he could probably be doing right now. Schumacher used to spent long periods away from even the word F1. Jenson has just had the most stressful year of his life, relaxing will do more help than anything right now ;-)!
