Ridiculous widget names
Probably mentioned elsewhere but I thought it deserved a thread of its own.

In quali we heard about Michael's "Magic Paddle".

So how many more wonderful widget names can we expect to hear about/make up as the season progresses?

Personally I'm looking forward to:

Button's Bionic Button (which unfortunately appears to be positioned right next to his Bobbins Button...).

Webber's Winge Wand (which he usually waves around just after he's used his Reckless Rudder).

Hamilton's Stop Me Looking a **** Lever.

And Petrov's Prepare For take-off Pedal.

Kobayashi 'Coming Through' button
Alonso 'Ego Eject' button - the team still haven't got this one working yet..... though it's vital to their future success, as dragging all that ego around is costing them about 0.5 secs per lap on it's own

Me too!

In fact, anyone with three sets of unused 'softs' will be good to watch I think - plus a fair few with two sets of new 'softs'. There could be a few surprises at the end of the race!
