Somehow everyone woke up recently and realized this (or it is a slow news day).

I knew nothing about it at all. Had neither seen, heard nor read anything about it last November or since.

Friends of mine who'd booked flights and hotels also knew nothing about it, so it clearly didn't get too much coverage.

It only bothers me because I have very fond memories of the 2009 Barcelona test where the Brawn team arrived two days late and promptly pulled about 5s on everyone else. I did have a copy of the great Bamber cartoon from Autosport the week after but I lost it in an office move
