?The exhaust and floor package which we introduced in Melbourne was last minute ? it was the first time it had run on the car and was far from being refined. So we, and everyone else I guess, have got a lot of work around that area to try and maximise that. There are updates coming and hopefully they can deliver and get us closer to the qualifying pace of the Red Bulls[4].?
F1?s Bernie Ecclestone may sell shareholding in QPR for ?100m (The Guardian)[5]
?If somebody bought that team today it would be a very good punt. It is probably worth ?100m. I don?t have any choice staying in or going out. Flavio [Briatore] would probably be the one to sell if anybody? It is dependent on Flavio.?

Comment of the day
Today I?m off to see what Lotus[8] are bringing to the next couple of races. GeorgeTuk is one of several readers[9] who aren?t convinced by their expectation to be fighting for points in Barcelona:
That is quite a wild prediction, would mean some serious failings of strategy, reliability or speed from those further up the field.
This is based on beating one ?midfield? driver in one race.
Could be true if no one else developed their car in the same period, would rather they were realistic than constantly talking up slim chances.

From the forum
The WRC Fanatic[10] thread is going strong ? look out for a ?Why you should watch?[11] on the subject of the World Rally Championship later this year.
Site updates
A slight tweak to the design yesterday: article pages on the main site now include the article sub-titles. Expect a similar change on the mobile site soon.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to El Gordo!
On this day in F1
Alain Prost[12] finished first in the 1986 San Marino Grand Prix, as he had the year before.
But this time he was allowed to keep his win ? in 1985 he had been disqualified as his McLaren[13] was found to be underweight.
Here?s some action from the race:
