Without meaning to Lewis Hamilton has inadvertantly let slip quite how fucked McLaren are by forgetting that we’re hearing a lot more radio that the “I want to thank the team” post-win schmaltz saying…

The car’s bottoming out, I can barely see the marker boards

And sure enough the world found out (as if it didn’t know) that as part of the cost-cutting initiaves the McLaren team stopped buying sandbags about a year ago.

Interestingly as one British F1 superstar gets ready for his year in obscurity another prepares to be the main focus of the TV coverage again.

Him and Jenson is starting to feel a little like Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow. When Take That split Barlow was a laughing stock as Robbie went on to have such meaningful hits as Rock DJ and that other one.

But the last laugh was on the Robster as Take That reformed and did an M&S advert as Williams langusihed like his F1 team namesake.

So now maybe its time for Lewis to head down the other end of the grid and take drugs with Oasis for a season or two.
