F1:
Malaysian GP: practice update

Team boss John Booth: No, we wouldn't cross him either.
Former racer John Booth founded Manor in 1990 and the team has since enjoyed considerable success in junior single-seater categories.
His success was enough to convince the FIA that he could mount a serious F1 campaign and he was awarded one of the new-for-2010 grid slots. Keen followers of the team were disappointed when Richard Branson bowled up and flashed enough cash to convince Booth to rename the F1 part of his squad to "Virgin Racing" (q.v.).
It is to be hoped that the team's spirit will take more from Booth's gritty and no-nonsense northerness than from Branson's floppy-haired and toothy flamboyance.
TIGRA 16v: The tooltip with lowered suspension and a racing windscreen wiper
F1 team has requested a clarification of earlier reports from the first practice session in Malaysia that their driver
Roberto Mierda
"completed his first lap after 13 minutes".
They are keen to point out that the Spaniard finished his lap 13 minutes after the session started, not 13 minutes after he left the pits.
Although it wasn't actually that far off.
