You don't just turn up at the pits and unpack. There is planning for facilities, corporate hospitality etc. This is very disruptive and once more, McLaren have all their plans changed at the last second. So, what do they drop for Bahrain now they have 25% less room for everything?

Let's face facts. McLaren were caught with their hand in the cookie jar. We all know that since Motor Racing started, engineers have always jumped ship with IP but that doesn't change the fact that McLaren were in the wrong and the FIA acted with a draconian fine and the removal of all points. Now, why Renault didn't get hammered is anyones guess but we must just live with that. END OF STORY!!

Let them get on with it FFS, not all this shifting around and inconsistency. They have done the punishment and accepted it. You can't keep disrupting them like this although I think this is more to do with Max's vendetta than anything else, but that's just my gut feeling.

It was the FOM to decide it. And the Fom is Bernie, not Max! So, wrong feelings!

Frankly it doesn't matter who is making the decision. The fact is the FIA stripped McLaren of their points and so they should be at the end of the pitlane.

All this messing about with where they're put, seemingly on a race by race basis, doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the way the sport is being managed, whether that be by FOM or the FIA.

I just have a gut feeling that Max (i.e. the FIA) is behind this and not FOM. No evidence, just a gut feeling and my gut feelings are usually right ;)

If you say so, it's just that the ones related to F1 are not! ;)

Q. (Patrick Salomon - Gulf Daily News) A question for Lewis: were you guys surprised by the sudden change in allocation of your garages and will that affect you guys at all?
LH: No, to be honest I quite like it down there. We're nice and out of the way, it's closer to the pit entry of the circuit and it's actually quite cosy down there, so we'll do the best shot we can. It makes no difference.

This is the kind of crap, that by fans thinking it's important, it givesownership and more importantly advertisers amunition to cotinually demand better facilities. Because the "players" have earned and deserve them. BS. This is my last baseball comparison, and the only reason I make it is because the spectacle disgust me. "It's like Bob Gibson saying he had a bad outing because The team owner(adolphus Bush) couldn't get a beer in the visitor owners box as effortlessly as the Don Drysdale's owner Walter O'mally could!
Let's put an end to the Pu$$ification of Competition!

The garage change might not too much give LH effect. During domination of Ferrari many teams had dream about their garage to be the next to Ferrari's. Team and drivers get motivated from the way crew speedy handling the job.

If this can be categorized as disadvantage, they must walk trough all teams' garage before entering theirs, this means there should be more traffic, especially when all teams decided to enter pit lane during SC deployed.
Once LH comes to the pit behind Massa or Jr, they could possibly drive the car slower to hold him off. :D
