This is not a site that follows F1, what makes the news even more weird.

Does anyone knows if it is true?
propably just gossip. i haven't read about this anywhere else
Yeah, that was what I thought. Mercedes team confirmed he is not missing Brazilian GP. Seems like that he changes the flight to Brazil and will arrive later. That is probably what generates the rumors.
Apparently he has been unwell but will race.

If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

It looks nice.

I read some comments from teams members early today.
Most of them agree that it is still far from a good modern paddock facility, however, they acknowledge it has improved from last year and are looking forward for next year when all planned improvements will be ready. Lack of working space is still the biggest issue.

lotus was blocked entry by brazilian police to enter their pitbox but the block has just been lifted. curious as the actual facts on why this happened but it probably must be financially related (thiks about Sauber @ AUS)

Lotus insists its participation in the Brazilian Grand Prix is not in doubt, despite security staff blocking access to its garage at Interlagos on Wednesday.


Team personnel were not allowed to unpack the team's freight or continue work on preparing the cars, by officers who were stationed at the front and rear of the garages.

A team spokesman confirmed that the team was dealing with the situation – which related to an unspecified 'commercial arrangement'

This is not Brazilian Police, it is a "mall guard". In São Paulo - Military Police uses this uniform:

If lewis had a gap of 22.4 seconds, then he would have come out 6 seconds in the lead.
How did you come to this conclusion?
Nico did an in lap of 1:20.6 and an out lap of 1:32.3. He was averaging around 1:15.3 lap times in that part of the race. So he lost 5.3s on an in lap and 17s on an outlap, so I would say his pit lane loss was 22.3 not 16.4? or an I missing something?

The pit lane loss is in the table. It is there at 23 seconds for Nico. Lewis lost 24 seconds druing his pit as u can see.
So with the 22.1 gap Lewis had a seocnd in hand. Easy squeeze. Ok back to topic now.

A lot of kerbs heightened for this year. Senna Ss pretty ridiculous high. Track record probably unreachable now.

Massa bottoms out:
