She’s a hottie, alright. And obscenely rich, to boot. Her mamma was a 6’2” model from eastern Europe, IIRC.

McLaren poised to switch to Honda engines for 2015 season

McLaren are to use Honda engines as the Japanese company returns to Formula 1 for the first time since 2008.

Honda pulled out of F1 after years of poor results with its own team, which subsequently won the championship as Brawn in 2009 and is now Mercedes.

But the engine manufacturer has decided to return because of next year’s introduction of turbo engines featuring energy recovery technology.

McLaren are first expected to race with Honda engines in 2015.

Mercedes, which currently supplies McLaren’s engines, said it could not comment on its partner’s plans, but its F1 executive director Toto Wolff said: “We are looking for a long-term engine supplier relationship with McLaren-Mercedes.”

McLaren has a contract with Mercedes with options for the team to renew for 2014 and 2015. McLaren are expected to take up only the first of those options.

Honda president Takanobu Ito on 8 February admitted that the company was “studying” the idea of an F1 return.

The company has not yet officially confirmed its plans to return.

The McLaren-Honda deal revives a partnership that had great historical success.

McLaren, with Honda as an engine supplier, dominated F1 in the late 1980s and early 1990s, winning four consecutive world drivers’ championships with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, as well as the corresponding years’ constructors’ titles.

In 1988, McLaren with Senna and Prost enjoyed the most successful season in F1 history, winning 15 of the 16 races.

Thurs 3/14/2013: 11pm-12:30am (EST) First practice

Like searching for an actual spending cut in the Federal budget, I finally found a schedule on NBC Sports website:

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/51040773/ns/sports-motor_sports/

Must have been designed by an idiot. They ought to list each:

-Practice Coverage
-Qualifying Coverage
-Race Coverage

From what I understand, only 4 races will be on regular NBC—Canada, then the last three races (Abu Dhabi, Austin, Brasil).

NBC Sports used to be Versus which used to be The Outdoor Life Network (OLN).
