Probably a good job by HRT to have their pictures up early and grab some attention for their Chinese signing.
So far it looks as if its largely dry on track, lets see what the weekend brings.

I wonder which finger did they have in mind.

Finger boy??? Surely something has been lost in translation here?!

Well, fingerboy doesn’t look his old happy fingering self, if you look at the last picture…

I think someone needs to tell Qinghua Ma what a camera is. He clearly has no idea.

Why do you say that? o.0

He kind of looks at/away from the camera as if it’s a gun.

Meanwhile, in the garage, PdlR has asked Dani to help him find his pipe.

Kimi is smiling, that picture must be worth a fortune

Probably just wind

Sauber had some Mexico sponsorship last year. Here’s a picture from this website at last year’s Chinese GP: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/pere_saub_shan_2011-1.jpg

@alexf1man They did, but they didn’t have it for the first two races of this year.
I remember Team Mexico running something similar when Perez drove for them in A1 Grand Prix as well.
AndrewTanner (@andrewtanner) said on 12th April 2012, 21:55
@keithcollantine Could this realistically have anything to do with his result in Malaysia? Would sponsors likely react so quick?

This has got to be one of the best photos of a driver in an interview I’ve ever seen. Did anyone else notice it?
PJ (@pjtierney) said on 12th April 2012, 23:06
That photographer deserves a medal.

Hope to see me more images of Vettel like in the last pic!!

Always nice to see Kimi smiling. Hopefully it’s a sign that he’s enjoying himself at Lotus.
