Hands up who thinks FIFI are going to move up the field this year, and perhaps catch one of the bigger teams having an off-season? Renault, perhaps? Maybe Mercedes? Anyone? Hello? Precisely. Probably the only people bigging that up as a serious possibility are Force India's Marketing department. People who work in Marketing Departments are dribbling, incoherant nincompoops, with a twisted sense of reality. Yes, I do work in a Marketing Department, you're quite right. I rest my case. Vijay's mob came a pretty dismal 8th last year, having been reasonably quick in '09.

This makes di Resta the 3rd Brit on the grid. The other two are World Champions in a top team. He's got his work cut out then.... (80's a go-go this evening. Depeche Mode...
