The Bloke and A Bird Show Episode 47

This week F1 woke from it's winter sleep in a big way, and there was plenty for us to talk about before we could even get to Winter testing...

VW has once again re-affirmed their commitment to not get involved in F1, because F1 can't seem to commit to a set of rules

Force India says that Aston-Martin could still come to F1, if F1 decides to commit to a set of rules.

Meanwhile, F1 has decided to change the rules...

Not that it really matters since the guy who's supposed to promote F1 has announced that he wouldn't take his family to a race...

From what we can tell about where things stand after the first round of testing...

Mercedes is probably still fast

Mercedes is definitely more reliable than anybody else

Ferrari is probably still close, but not close enough

and McLaren is better, but still nowhere near good enough.
