But its last years F.India ?

Mercedes wants a direct comparison to last years Force India? Doubt it to be honest...

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Hamilton has seemed in a bit of a bad mood again- talking about not liking testing etc. wonder if things in his personal life are affecting him again (given recent headlines).

Wonder if Ferrari were messing with the fuel flow like last year? Still, shouldn't really cause the time to be disallowed, should it?

Let's not read too much into the Merc driver switch. If anybody remembers Webber vomitting inside his helmet, you know that getting unwell always is a posibility. Rosberg probably still is in Monaco or somewhere else and can't make it in time to Barcelona.

It does leave FI in a peculiae situation though. I hears Bottas is always around at the test, driving or not. Perhaps he'll jump in?

To FI or Merc? In both cases i doubt in that.

Doubt it, Bottas is Williams team race driver. So I don't think his contract lets him drive a FI. If I were FI, I would fly in James Colado ASAP, if their both team race drivers aren't testing.

If Hulk or Perez are around they might drive, other than that i think FI calls it a day, it's the old car anyways...
