“Send us a Hey Now!”

After the events of Vegas with the double McLaren disqualification, it was time for them to lick their wounds and see what Qatar would bring.

Well what it brought was a very poor racing weekend but with the promise of an epic end to the season.

Oh, and it also involved a discussion concerning cows & camels....well it did for Paul anyway.

“Send us a Hey Now!”

It's an off week before we head to Vegas so this week we decided to take a look at a season that has a few things in common with this season.

The 2007 season saw McLaren end up with two number one drivers who battled each other for the title whilst also trying to fend off a driver from another team!

Sound familiar?

We look at a number of other things that took place that year as there was a LOT of talking points that came up that season.

“Send us a Hey Now!”

It's an off week before we head to Brazil so this week we decided to take a look at how we might build a team if the only drivers we could pick from are this seasons six rookies.

We debate who would be test driver, reserve driver, and which two would take our race seats.

We then take a look ahead to Brazil and update our casino game selections.

“Send us a Hey Now!”

We went back to back racing after COTA last week and it was a return to Mexico for the race in Mexico City.

The race has been a bit of a snoozer in recent years so we went in with expectations pretty low.

How wrong we were!!!

We went back to racing after a week off and it was a return to the US for the race at COTA.

Was it a banger or a bore?

Well that seems to depend on if you are a fan of tire management but on the plus side it was a sprint weekend so we got more racing.

It's an off week before we head to COTA so this week we decided to take a look at how team orders have taken shape down the years given the huge focus being put on everything McLaren are doing right now.
