Helmut Marko has been axing drivers again. Lewis Williamson can be added to the long list of 'dropped by Red Bull' drivers.

Yeah exactly mikhailv. People get criticised for minimising their tax bill, but who can blame them? Who enjoys paying tax? I don't think many people would be happy to give half their earnings away for the government to piss up the wall. Then there are other reasons to move to Monaco, not least to avoid being harassed by the press who criticise him for moving there. Zero crime, better weather, no harassment, no tax. Can't blame someone for moving to Monaco.

Besides, Lewis is a better person to carry the torch than Willi.I.Am!

Agreed. If they're so upset that Lewis doesn't pay UK taxes and gets to carry the torch, then there's a reason why he's avoided them, and their anger should be vent on the government.

Off-Topic: show
Yeah. I think he only carried it because of Coca Cola. But it's bizarre how he's become some sort of national icon off the back of a flop of a TV show.

I have a somewhat silly question but one thats been driving me crazy. How do the drivers know how much KERS they have used or how much they have left?

They have numerical displays on the steering wheel to show the boost remaining for that lap. In the case of Ferrari it's to the left of the gear-display and starts with 0%. In this picture Alonso has used 23% of his KERS

The best to see how much KERS they have - you can see it on Rosbergs pole lap from China. You can see everything clearly there. They know how much they have KERS left

lets hope its a happy anniversary for Lewis. surprising that a race winning car can become so uncompetitive within 2 races.
