Just don't see the point in doing McLaren when someone is already doing a story on it...
Craig Tough has Penned an unbelievable deal with constructors McLaren, which will last a period of 3 years.
He will take over from 2007 Runner Up Fernando Alonso after his move back to Renault following a fall out with 2007 Champion Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton and Tough will be racing the brand new F1 207 McLaren car, with de la Rosa being the number 3.
The new car has a Mercedes-Benz FO 112T engine, using Michelin tyres, and is set to be one of the fastest F1 cars ever, being able to reach nearly 227mph, thats 2mph faster than last year's Ferrari.
Here is a preview of the new car:

CRAIG TOUGH DROPS OUT:
Rookie driver Tough, who had his first drive last week in Australia, has severe bruising on his right thumb, and is unable to turn the steering wheel properly.
Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa will take over from Tough who took a spin in practice on Tuesday.
However Tough is here today, watching his team mates Lewis Hamilton and Pedro de la Rosa.
Malaysian Grand Prix Qualifying:
Brazilian Felipe Massa took pole with a fantastic lap, with Alonso with a bit of restbite from his critics taking 2nd and Hamilton 3rd.
Englishman Anthony Davidson had a great lap too and starts 9th on the grid.
Rosberg's nightmare continues as he has another low start.
Massa grabs pole
Interview with Martin Brundle on ITV
Brundle: Hi Craig, so your not racing today, whats the matter?
Tough: Well, I took a little spin on Tuesday, and i haven't been able to steer properly. But hopefully Pedro can do a decent job, although his qualifying was a bit disappointing, he ran wide a number of times.
Brundle: Well, thats a big disappointment for English viewers. You had a great race last week, congrats on that, youngest person to ever pick up points! How do you feel?
Tough: I'm still amazed myself! These new McLaren's, they are so reliable, I never felt hurried or under pressure, it was just me and the track.
Brundle: Anyway Craig, you better get off, I ope to talk to you another time.
Tough: Cool, cheers mate.

Malaysian Grand Prix 2008
This morning, Brazilian Felipe Massa carried on his form from qualifying to reign supreme in the Malaysian Grand Prix, it was a close encounter and a real battle for 2nd place, between Renault driver Fernando Alonso and McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, 1 mistake from Alonso let Hamilton through on turn 4, and Hamilton never let 2nd place go, however aggressive Alonso drove.
Disappointment for English drivers Jensen Button and Anthony Davidson, who both pulled out with gearbox failures, an all round disappointing Grand Prix for Britain all bar Hamilton's 2nd place, with Craig Tough dropping out too because of a crash in practice, Tough's replacement, Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa, climbed up 6 places from his gid position to 13th in the McLaren.
Kimi Raikonnen dropped 4 places to 8th after having to pit once more than most drivers.
A very eventfull Grand Prix today and we look forward to the next race.
Massa wins the Malaysian Grand Prix
I shall update the leaderboards asap.
WHAT DO YOU THINK SO FAR????
