13 May 2008: F1 quotes: Webber threatens to get on his bike…

A slight deviation from the script now as we take a detour from the doings of British racing drivers to report some well-chosen words from the Australian Mark Webber.

13 May 2008: F1: now Massa joins Hamilton in shunning GPDA

13 May 2008: F1: Our McLaren Grand Prix League freefall is now merely a slide

McLaren has done its sums, and the latest scores from round five of its Grand Prix League fantasy racing competition are now up on the site.
