I have already given you 2 sources search for them using google before commenting about my brain size.

So speaking truth is not your cup of tea, excellent I have already advised you to grow up before growing wiser. If you think I am not credible don't jump in this topic ever again.

'Please leave this topic'. 'I gave you two sources, please Google'. 'I lie and when proven wrong, haven no answer'.

Yes. That is all you have left. People like you always resort to these kind of statement as a last resort but people like me will always be present to denounce your propaganda and lies.

BTW, Williams is on top of the championship, isn't it?. I thought I should congratulate you because they just cracked the pot and got one point!. Williams for the constructor!. YEAH!.

I don't use please word to forward my request to guys like you. If I remember I say you can't predict who has the best car and who has the worst car by looking at the first pre-season test. Also how about Ferrari having the best car for the first 2 or 3 races and Alonso still ending behind Vettel now that was really amazing.
