Re: Mercedes double MGU-K failure a bit fishy.

Maybe someone in the world was getting annoyed/bored with Mercedes winning all the time and decided to hack the Mercedes cars software to make the MGU-K fail.

Or maybe I've been playing to much of Watch Dogs!

Re: international tribunal. june 20th. The reprocussions.

I think a 2 race ban would be interesting to see. Given that the next two races are at Silverstone then the Nurburgring. Which would mean no home races in 2013 for Hamilton, Rosberg* or Mercedes.

*I know he would class it as his 2nd home race but he's still German.

Sebastien Loeb

Bit of a random question.

With Loeb attending the Spanish GP it got me thinking about the time he thought about switching to F1.

After Loeb did various tests, the FIA then refused to grant Loeb a super license in order to race. Does anyone actually know the reason for the refusal???
