Hesh you're right, Sauber launch as well tomorrow, I did know that, I think I made that point they have their launch tomorrow on these very pages. D'oh. Well either way, I expect the Renault to be the bigger of the two launches tomorrow, although seeing the comeback of Alfa Romeo might be more interesting to some.
Some unfortunate rumors flowing that Danny Ric has caused some damage to the RB14 during the filming day yesterday. Not good when its a very real possibility that the damaged items are one of kind and they don't have spares produced yet. It was wet, it was green, so always a danger. Will this have an impact on his season? his mentality and confidence in the car?

I'm reading alot of positives for McLaren in regards to sponsors and partnerships. So Zac brown seems to be doing a good job, or is he....
One I did read is its partnership with Petrobas for supplying fuel, perhaps oil and lubricants also. While this might bring a bit of money to me it seems like a backwards step. Petrobas left F1 end of 2016, ending its deal with Williams. So that's a year out of the game, to now come back and design a fuel for a new engine, Renault this time. There can be a fair gain from good fuel development and for McLaren to dump BP/Castrol who worked with Renault last year is mind boggling.

They must have some excuse when they will not provide this year and it can not be the engine anymore...
