is Ross really leaving? as much as I feel Ross exit would be pretty big loss, I don't necessarily feel it would be like end of it, Lowe is still a well reputed person to replace Ross i think. In fact I feel like Paddy's presence may entice some good Mclaren employees to follow here at Brackley. I am always thinking of Doug Mckiernan cause Prodomou will move there. We have elliot, and he is great, i think though Merc can be stronger from hereon.

As for Ross again, I understand that Ross wants to put his authority in this team, but I understand Merc's stance more.

Anyone see brundle talk about merc last year? Apparently brawn told him wait till you see next years car its got some bits on it

Merc and brawn really do seem optomistic for next year almost so confident they arnt concerned about getting egg on there face. I cant see a mclaren of 2009 or 2013

I posted that on March 10th. All I can say is, "BOOYAH!"

The race yesterday, held at the Circuit Brazilian Intelagos, has highlighted an interesting news on the Mercedes. If you look carefully the video of Hamilton with the tire completely destroyed you can see that the inside of the circle is completely covered by the black Polysil Hi gloss made ​​by the Nanoprom Sassuolo.

This technology is used in the paths in which the temperatures are low so as to increase the heat exchange between the rim and the tire. This new treatment is aimed at increasing the temperature in the inner face of the rim. through an increase in the gloss, increases the refractive index of the heat, decreasing the dissapazione of the same, while not prevent that the heat resulted from braking steps inside ..
