So a bunch of suspension failures drivers hitting each other. That doesn't exactly seem a recipe for a credible series.

Some of its his fault but he's been there or thereabout every single race and it's all gone horrible wrong.

He got lucky this time though, with the top 2 in the championship retiring and Sam Bird also getting a drive through.

Although I really do think it's a bad move due to McLaren's team culture rather than their potential

Coulthard thinks that the superlicense system just introduced needs to be more flexible. Specifically, it should cater to up and coming "special" talent.

Coulthard is an idiot. What a hack. Spent 9 years at McLaren being Ron's complete lackey.

A thing that serves no function and is entirely pointless (if delicious to contemplate). Much like speculating about the outcome of the upcoming F1 season.

Fernando is smugger than you. Can you confirm you understand that message?
It relates specifically to pre-season testing (and somewhat to Free Practice sessions), in that the times and race pace potential set by each team/driver is highly irrelevent and useless, if not tantalizing. Very much like a briefcase made entirely of bacon (or is it a normal briefcase just filled with bacon? This was never made clear to me)

Apparently one day during a Free Practice session, somebody tweeted in to Crofty while he was commentating and made him say "Bacon Briefcase" on air, I can't remember the specifics.
