Still, I'd be surprised if he can get among the McLarens in the race barring problems for them. A podium for Grosjean is far from out of the question though.<br /><br />On the platypus noses, weirdly I stopped noticing them fairly quickly once the cars were up and running around the track. Didn't think I'd be saying that a few weeks ago! Sadly from an aesthetic point of view, I don't think anyone will be copying McLaren on the nose design this year (from what I gather, in terms of performance there's nothing critically right or way with either the McLaren approach or the 'platypus' approach). Still, apparently the FIA are working on outlawing the platypus for next year!Graham Keillohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514708469215327323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682262344930040012.post-80135539796454082682012-03-17T15:32:48.562+00:002012-03-17T15:32:48.562+00:00Always nice when (by far) the prettiest car on the...Always nice when (by far) the prettiest car on the grid is also the fastest - perhaps the rest of the field should investigate running a "McLaren nose" and stop blighting the sport with their platypus-billed monstrosities?Rick Baumhauerhttp://baumhauerphoto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682262344930040012.post-80962476207471599182012-03-17T14:09:43.366+00:002012-03-17T14:09:43.366+00:00Grosjean as a dark horse?Grosjean as a dark horse?Mike Bourkehttp://www.campaignmastery.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
