Apparently, Glock and di Grassi will continue to put miles on the Virgin before February 10. Sporting of her, I must say

At what point do they need to change the team name?

When they win a race.
They can then become PCGP.

They missed an opportunity when Virgin's launch hit technical difficulties: VIRGINS SHY FIRST TIME OUT.
Personally, my favourite has been an unintended double entendre: SOUTH AFRICAN BODY SLAMS TODT.

I am starting to wonder if Virgin GPs reason for F1 existance is for fans to snigger at all these titles...

ah but it's a pretty common name... I thought you were going for another pun-based name like Dick T. Boner or Rudolf Reinders etc. (they both exist)

Didn't realise. Still, with all the Kobayashi-mania on here, I thought there could be another to get excited about...

Maybe Bridgestone's Koby will give Sauber's Koby some special tyres for quali and the race...

Or what about this corker by Autosport a few days ago:
"New McLaren gets Hamilton excited."
Looks like he's replaced Nicole with the MP4-25...

I think Kobayashi cheated on the Kobayashi Maru also to get into F1 how ironic!

Actually, Kirk never used the Bat'leth. The weapon was invented for The Next Generation, thus Kirk never handled the weapon

Not Kirk and a Bat'leth, KOBAYASHI and a Bat'leth (and I never had any cool-points to begin with. I find it a source of pride)

That Virgin is really a beauty, especially with Glock on it.
