The wines from Pierre Usseglio I

Hamilton happy just to push Vettel

Lewis Hamilton said he had no regrets over not winning the Spanish Grand Prix as it was encouraging enough just to be able to put Red Bull under so much pressure. The McLaren driver finished just 0.6 seconds behind winner Sebastian Vettel after a very close fight in the second half of the race.

2013 Toyobaru - Click above for high-res image gallery

These shots appear to be of the Subaru version of the planned, talked-about, redesigned, and talked-about-some-more 2013 Scion FR-S/Toyota FT-86/Toyobaru. According to our reader spy, this version was wearing Subaru distributor plates, pretty much giving away its true identity.

While the heavy camo does a great job obscuring a good look at the car, and the shots are taken from a distance, it looks like the Subaru coupe will sport slightly more understated lines than its stablemate at Scion.
