Re: 2016 Australian Grand Prix - Reject of the Race
Well - McHonda, because after all the wishful thinking the car is still pants.
But as mocking McHonda is too easy, then I'd have to go for Ferrari's strategists. Come on guys, get a grip, and you had half an hour to think about this obviously stupid tyre decision.

I came across an obscure Twitter link and followed it to find Jamie and Enoch are podcasting again, and then found this forum,, which I didn't know even existed. And I found I already had an account set up on it!
