 Never forget. I mean, the very fact that Alonso has a luxurious head of hair and a disgusting beard while being unveiled as a McLaren driver tells me that maybe things will most certainly be different now between him and Ron Dennis.

Maybe they've been hard at work in the wind tunnel fabbing up some aerodynamic helmet extension that can safely encase his growing beard, and also by chance become the blown diffuser of 2015. #bearddiffuser #beardedandblessed

The fact that Haas has laid out a competent realistic plan and is now executing it makes me slightly optimistic that Haas may cobble together a competent midfield entry instead of becoming another HRT

This might be the only sustainable future of f1, at least at the midfield level. The sport needs to move away from the "design bespoke 50 million dollar car, throw away for the next year and start over" model. It has bothered.me for a while that the cars get new names every year, actually. Is the RB7 REALLY all that different to the RB9?

The sport needs to move away from the "design bespoke 50 million dollar car, throw away for the next year and start over" model. It's definitely more sustainable than the "let's not test our car in a wind tunnel at all" or "let's spend like drunken sailors" approaches taken by the last two teams to go belly up.
