I imagine that celebrity weddings and pairings are a lot like what happens in Game of Thrones, where publicists get together and decide who should pair up for maximum buzz. That's another reason why the marriages never last very long, either. Because they're all terrible people.

I know Jorda joining Lotus is supposed to be sending a positive message out to young girl racers, but is it really the case? I think even kids would quickly be able to determine that she is not in the programme because she is a good driver. The message actually seems to be if your smoking hot and have the right connections then doors will open for you. Sadly thats most of life I suppose. But is it a good idea to reinforce it to young girls?

I thought the same as you back when it was Maria but the facebook walls of the juniors that race in the same championship I sometimes run clearly found her a huge inspiration. So hopefully there's a "Fernanda Alonso" who is watching this.

She was allegedly 15 seconds a lap off the pace while racing at Spa.

It's not that bad but it's not good. Last year she "didn't run" in qualifying so I went back to her first year. Qualified 8.2 seconds off the pace, 5 seconds off the next slowest.

In the same session Alice Powell was 6 seconds and 6 places quicker, Vicky Pirla 7 seconds and 13 places quicker. Her teammates by the way were also 6 and 7 seconds quicker.

I try to stay away from reddit these days but it's quality like this that keeps dragging me back:

"Is this why the McLaren has serrations between its rear wings?? Owls fly silently due to edges of their primary feathers. When most birds fly, turbulence from air over their wings creates noise. Owls have their primary feathers serrated, which divides turbulence into micro-turbulences. "

I dunno about F1 aerodynamics, but that's a pretty interesting factoid about owls.

my hope is that magnussen runs like 100 laps on sunday and sets the best time so reddit will immediately forget the entire rest of the offseason and start posting about mclaren winning the title and magnussen permanently replacing alonso, with the latter presumably going to manor or buying caterham and racing at le mans until haas comes next year. all outstanding thread possibilities. can't wait

james allen pointed out that even the other teams, who normally have all the behind-the-scenes info, were very confused by what happened and equally in the dark as the rest of us. plus there were four cameras trained on that spot and none of that footage has been released. ideally the FIA investigation will shed some light.
