That just 10 minutes from home. I might drop by as well. What time is it on then? (I take it it's not 8 am after all?).

Edit: Ah! Noon.

Every race is on live here in NS (*with the ITV commentary team*)

Someone was mathematically challenged last night.

My apologies for subtracting two hours instead of adding.

Yes you're right and I'd forgotton about that incident but on the whole I don't think DC did too badly with McLaren. After all he was there a long time.

You know I'm not a McLaren fan, (I've always had a soft spot for Williams) but I really doubt that McLaren would have paid a bumper salary to Alonso only to then ensure that he played second fiddle to Hamilton.

I certainly don't think McLaren have handled the situation all that well but neither has Alonso. He seems to have expected favoured treatment and hasn't got it. Who knows? Maybe he was promised it and so has a reasonable complaint but I doubt somehow that he was.

They've been paying Alonso a lot of money. Would they really have wanted to screw up his season deliberately? The reigning world champion?

Ah well. It'll soon be over and we won't care anymore.
