    Apparently Pedro has already been hard at work on Felipe's seat in the Ferrari simulator fine tuning the F2013's targeting system :)

    Interesting. He's old and has never really done a lot. I guess he'll never sit in a real car but they wanted his experience. One hopes that they did lots of asking around about his feedback and engineering knowledge.

    Also just noticed that they're looking around for something for Jules Bianchi to do for a season or two - They seem quite high on the kid. More likely to ultimately get a drive than De La Pink IMO.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Glad for him. He must be pretty good with technical feedback, he was with McLaren after all.

    PDLR is buddies with Alonso, isn't he? Back in 2007 when both were with McLaren, they both had to testify in the Ferrari spying scandal. IIRC, both got immunity from the FIA in return, and both said they had access to the Ferrari info via the McLaren engineer Coughlan via Ferrari engineer Stepney. Ironic that Hamilton was left out of the loop and wasn't part of the cheating ring! ;). More ironic that the two cheating drivers from McLaren 2007 will be together again at Ferrari... :D

    Some people can coach better than they can play. Apparently PDLR is one of these.

    Are you implying it was all staged by Ferrari in a Latin conspiracy? :)

    And that the Anglo Saxons got their revenge when Tim O'Clock let Hammo through?

    And that that's why mr O'Clock is still pretending to race in the McLaren assisted Marussia?

    I'd say you have a malicious mind. ;)

    And now both drivers will be able to sample the technologies with their rightful, legal owner! ;)

    Nope. The transcripts from the FIA hearing were posted online, anyone who cared could read the entire testimony of all involved in the hearings. Hamilton was not part of the sharing of the Ferrari data.
