    Watching the first race from Australia this weekend, I was surprised to hear that McLaren and Microsoft now make the ECU boxes for all the cars. A friend of mine made a really funny comment... she said "Since they are made by Microsoft, do you have to press "Ctrl + Alt + Del" to reboot the system?

    After I had a good laugh, I thought I would help out the team by adding 3 more buttons to their steering wheels:

    Hmmm two McLaren in the top five and they are the ones making the ECUs?? Something seems fishy to me. At least the did end up DQ'ing Barichello so Kimi wound up with one point!
