Its also a well known fact that the more financially desperate teams go all out for fastest laps during winter testing.

Paul Hembrey, Pirelli, today.

“We did manage to do some good work on the hard, the medium and the soft compound. The super soft was really just used in the morning, some people wanted to do a fast time I guess.”

Heidfeld reckoned that 'any' team during yesterday and today's testing, could have done a time in the 1.19's if they had wanted to.

I certainly hope that William's have a good car, however.

Me too. Its very sad to see one of Formula One's greatest ever teams in the state it is today.

Does anyone know if this offer has been underwritten?

If so, who are the underwriters?
