Mclaren Blame Fish for Malaysia Qualifying Gaff.

Mclaren have published results of an investigation into why they made they made an immense cock-up of this year's Malaysian Grand Prix qualifying.

The team decided to stay in their garage and sit out an early downpour, only to find that conditions were getting worse. By the time Button and Hamilton had made it onto the track the rain had set in, leaving them unable to post a fast time. Button was 17th, and Hamilton 20th.

The results of the investigation were something of a surprise to many. The cause of this wasn't Mclaren's over-reliance on radars or Martin Whitmarsh's inability to look up at the sky and use common sense. The source of the problem lay in misinformation from veteran weatherman Michael Fish.

Fish famously scotched rumours of the impending 1987 hurricane that swept across the south of Britain and apparently assured Mclaren that “the rain would pass”. In a statement Mr. Fish blamed it on a colleague “I wasn't even on duty that day, it was Bill, so I cannot claim any responsibility whatsoever”.
Despite this claim, Mclaren have ended their relationship with the bespectacled weatherman on grounds of incompetence.
