What was he going to do anyway? Throw in 1.5kg of pasta right before weighting?

Team's fault, clearly. You can't loose that much weight in such a short amount of time in those conditions. The only way to naturally do that is go jogging for a hour in Malaysia's tropic temperatures, loosing all of the weight in sweat. But this England, where summer feels like winter.

To be fair – he is a scot – where summer feels like an english winter.

True, but these guys are athletes; they can take a serious pounding before even so much breaking a sweat. Unless his diet consists of Scottish castle bricks, I don't see him loosing so much in a short period .

No, I blame the teams building their cars for the wrong task.

the teams who build their cars for these Pirelli´s have no idea what they have done.

It´s crystal-clear the Pirelli´s help Lotus and Ferrari. But only where it counts...

Maybe he'd eaten too many deep fried mars bars the night before, and they all came out explosively.

You mean, it's convenient for you to believe that they don't know what they're doing because it helps you maintain your cognitive dissonance in tact.

When are Caterham and Marussia planning to bridge the gap to the midfield? Those 2 teams are starting to irritate me. after 3 years still 4 or more seconds off the pace...

I'm glad that someone has the same opinion as I do. I've kept my fingers crossed for the "new teams" for 3 years. But they are still at the same position as they were for at least last 2 years - over 1 second off the end of the midfield. How hard could it be?

Not hard, just another £60M!

During a conversation with Sky Sports Ross Brawn said he was ''excited'' about their updates to improve tyre wear. We will see tomorrow.

Well they had a chance nobody else had to test improvements for their tyre wear problems.

I have that feeling about Caterham. Caterham managed to get the extra $30m for keeping up 10th place repeatedly, and with it... they have done ... --- all.

Marussia on the other hand look like they're nearly there. Hopefully they can steal Caterham's extra cash, and they can make some progress up the grid.

What were the speed trap..(speeds) for the top five cars?

During qually Martin Brundle touched on this, apparently Ross went into detail on several things they'd done to improve their tyre deg, this was all said in confidence though so Bundle would't elaborate. Oh to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

PLEASE tell me you're joking!

something tells me that Lewis is dialling in on this car now which is scary considering he says he is struggling with balance but when he gets the set up spot on he is unbelievably quick that lap he produced was stunning it seems to me they have perfected the fric system now lets just hope that tyre degradation doesn't play a huge factor on race day.

must be paddy lowe doing some work on the tyre problem, or results from the pirelli test.

I can´t point at a single factor saying "this and this is the reason" but man....they are doing something right here...
It literally flies on every track regardless if it takes pole or not.

It flies on light fuel and good tyres...

Otherwise it's a frustrating car to watch.
