I read some comments that some of the grid girls were also there to "entertain" some of the VIPs during the weekend. Any truth to this?
As we say some good things,we "have" tp say the bad ones also. Again its all rumours .

I can't say I'm bothered about the Grid Girls, sure it's a shame they've lost jobs, that's never a good thing. However I can't say I'll miss them as I barely even gave them a second glance.
Quite frankly if they are removing anything from the grid, I'd MUCH prefer they remove the "so-called" Celebs, who are there only to be seen there and because it's a freebie for them and they have no clue about F1 and no interest in the sport whatsoever and quite frankly I'm sick of the TV director wasting time showing some Z-list celeb in the paddock in the middle of races and us miss the action.
Harmless but charming and pleasant grid girls back please and no more inane questions from clowns, "celebrities" and other big name know-nothings, sycophants and vacuous flatterers. Keep it professional and if it isn't "entertaining"
then at least it should not be silly (although many out there in tv land eat up that kind of garbage because they're fed it in other less dignified sports). Professional, technical and classy are the main ways to go and a smiling lady is always an asset and not just a filler. There are many very intelligent ladies covering our sport (tho not the drivel feed here in the US) and that some are also attractive can't be criticized.
You could not have said it better !!
Can't wait for Barcelona testing. Any gut feelings about this year guys?
Barcelona testing will be for reliability mainly with some aero testing as well i.e. number of laps. Both cars need to do all the GP's combined and beyond in a single season during this testing. It is not for lap times or speed traps but mainly for laps....alot of them. The more time the car or cars sit in the pits, the less laps during this testing the car or cars will have. Again, it is all for reliability.
I also want to see the new liveries. Mid-season(summer break) will be a good indicator of where we stand with Mercedes.
I don't believe it will just be Mercedes we need to look out for, all the teams will have closed up with many using new power units (ICE) so more competition will surely come from other sources as much as Mercedes. The 3-engine limit will be the probably be the source of many a problem too.
Does anyone know if gpupdate.net has seized operating?
It will be Mercedes and RBR. The others are too far behind. Interesting to see where McLaren end up, if they can adapt to the Renault PU or get caught on the backfoot again. If they do get it right I suspect a battle for 4th with Force India, but i doubt they will finish ahead of them
Michael was 31 when he won his first driver's title with Ferrari. And this year Seb turns...31.
just sayin'
