Default F1 this weekend, cannot wait!

It will be interesting to see the effects of rule changes. F1 is expecting more drafting and position changes due to reduced size of rear wing.

Yep, first practice session starts in just 5 hours....
It'll be fun to watch KERS equipped cars overtaking the others

Been a long off-season and except for watching the F1USA (or whatever they're calling it now,) news conference a few weeks back I've been out of the loop.

I do hope the changes make for better racing, we'll see.

If anyone needs access to a private site for the torrents (and racing torrents in general,) let me know.

So, will those with KERS be able to stall the car and drive into pit lane on battery, like a Prius

I just recorded it on the DVR...10PM Pacific time. Dang, we will be in New Orleans on East Coast time and "have to go out to dinner"...crap, I would rather order room service and watch live! Wo Ho!

Oh well, in the US there is almost no chance of accidently seeing results. Jeez, in Asia and Europe you have to hide from the TV and Newspapers.

Got high hopes for the season!

I hope Hamilton remembers to stop at red lights in the pit. Or did they change that rule, I never did quite understand the pit rules and when the drivers can come in or go out under yellow.

well .... i have a question in my mind for a long long time ...
WHY if porsche is :

a high tech company ..
and located in europe ...
and LOADED (one of the most profitable car manufacturer in the world, so much they are capable to buy VW in short time)
and dedicated to sport cars for so many decades ...
and has so many fans ..

why the hell do not participate in F1 races ??

Porsche is by far more financial-capable to take this venture tha ferrari or other smaller teams ....


somebody has a "reasonable" answer to this ???
