A fancy colour scheme won't make it any faster, unless they have a slippy paint...

Cue W R C Shedenhelm in his Slightly Modified page in Sports Car Graphic in the '60s. Photo is of two ladies sitting in a grandstand. It is, or has been, wet, and one lady has what appears to be a polythene bag protecting her hair and pulled half-way down her face. It transpires that the two ladies are drivers' wives, and this is a CanAm race. According to WRCS's caption, Mrs Earl Jones is saying "So I said to him 'Gee it's such a pretty car - how come you don't drive it faster?' and Whammo!"

INITIAL CONTACT MADE OVER POSSIBLE McLAREN-HONDA F1 REUNION.

 

IMHO Honda need to make their mind up, = IN or OUT.

It's Honda - they are always like this.

Never mind, less than a month to Round 1.

Actually, you need shark skin paint. 😉

Pleading not guilty shows they aren't exactly brain surgeons. As if that wasn't confirmed by opting to sit in front of a 200mph carbon fibre razor blade of course.

 

 

Pleading "not guilty" just means they wasted the publics money by having a full trial and milked the event for as much publicity as they could get.

 

They'll probably get a higher penalty than if they just pleaded "not guilty", though I imagine it won't be as tough as a custodial (actual or suspended) sentence.

 

IANAL,etc.

Perhaps they were staying in a nice hotel....

 

Jammy gits if they were, I had to commute in on the poxy tube to central London every day for my jury service.

I think hotels are only used for cases where the jury may be "approached"...... I had to commute whilst we were considering the verdict.

How the f*%& did the jury take 2 days to deliberate that??

 

Probably a couple of jury members who liked to be contrarian, stick it to "authority" or whatever, and it took a while to get them to see sense?

With so many teams launching on a dummy car one ought to have a bit of fun, push the eco hype for a week and then from the mist between trees . . .

 

 

just unveil a pedal car!

I am just imagining Red Bull doing this, and to add to it, they would use Danni Ricciardo as the driver and not Verstappen or Perez.

 

Big cheesy grin whilst he pedals the car into view.

Then as he pedals behind a view blocker, some minion passes him a can of hyper-caffinated beverage and Mr Bean roars out from the other side, scowling in a most unattractive manner, throwing the can to another minion...
