Have I got that right, Ted? 1d ­ Nate Saunders It's actually softer than the super­soft, Dougal. But don't worry yourself about Gutierrez to hold 'clear the air talks' with Haas that. Now here's the thing. At any one race, you could have the choice of three 1d ­ Nate Saunders of them, except when the choice is two. And then you hand one of them back.

But isn't that the point of this racing, Ted? Why would you want to do make them go slow? Because that's too simple, Dougal. There's 23 clauses and 12 sub­clauses in the regulations to make sure it's nice and complicated, just to confuse Eddie Jordan. That wouldn't be too difficult, Ted.

    Beat: Sports 2016 Mexican Grand Prix Mexico City Mexico City, 31.10.2016, 01:25 Time USPA NEWS - Silver Arrows flying high at the #F1ESTA! - Lewis today took his 51st career victory ““ his first at the AUTÓDROMO HERMANOS RODRÃGUEZ and 8th of the 2016 season so far. With that result, Lewis draws level with Alain Prost in joint second place on the list of all-time Formula One Grand Prix winners. Lewis Hamilton - This weekend I´ve had really good pace. The car felt really strong from start to finish ““ night and day compared to last year. I had a good start ““ but it´s such a long way down to Turn One that everyone just got the tow on me. The right front brake disc had glazed on the formation lap and I couldn´t un-glaze it. I thought it might be okay ““ but when I hit the brakes it just locked up as the temperature came up and I went flying across the grass. I was lucky to get across and rejoin on the other side of the track. I had a big flat spot ““ and I mean seriously big. I could barely see the end of each straight with the vibrations and I genuinely didn´t know if my suspension was going to last. I was really lucky not to catch it again and either destroy the tyre or have to come in for an early stop. Luckily, I got it under control and was cruising from quite early on. It´s kinda crazy to think I now have 51 wins.

  • Q & a Session with Martin Whitmarsh Martin
    Q & A SESSION WITH MARTIN WHITMARSH MARTIN WHITMARSH: Perhaps it's worth saying the geniuses come after me. DAVID CROFT: Well, I thought I'd give you the option to be a genius or not. Thanks for joining us. This is the first time we've heard from you this morning, so we ought to start with the car; what do you think? MARTIN WHITMARSH: Well, it's already been commented on, it looks beautiful. I should probably pull these chairs away, stop hiding it, but -- no, it looks beautiful at the moment, but cars really do look beautiful if they win races. And, you know, the beauty is more than skin deep. I think there's tremendous engineering underneath. A lot of thought has gone into this car and, really, refinement. I'm sure it will look different when it gets to Australia. That's the nature offer Formula 1 these days, we're constantly evolving the product, but I think it's nice, when you're going to have to stand around a car for quite a long period of your life during a year, if it looks good at the outset that helps us. DAVID CROFT: Lewis and Jenson said there's only one goal at the start of the season; is that your goal as well, to win a championship? MARTIN WHITMARSH: Well, yeah, I'm sure it's no surprise to everyone here that our goal is to win two world championships this year. That's what we exist to do. That's what we try to do every year.
