It also looks like Liberty will have quite a number of unused hours of satellite time in the coming weeks.Given the lack of development opportunities for the teams do we think that a test or two behind locked gates-with TV coverage might be to everybody's benefit?I expect all the design teams will be able to make a head start on cars for next season anyway.
That was all about Ferrari when the possibly existed that they could not get their people out of Italy and in to Australia and actually RB should have invoked this when McLaren had to withdraw in the spirit of what he commited to pre-event.

Let's face it, they were all waiting for someone else to pull the trigger and take the fall and costs for cancelling.
