the only reason we visit this track is because of the fallus-shaped hotel and the money, which keeps the female audience happy I guess.


very few women watch F1 and I don't think they like fallus-shaped hotels anyway :p

I really don't get your obsession with the challenging final two corners. They really, really aren't.

As Kimi says, the first few turns are good, but the rest of it is shit. Yet peculiarly, it's quite fun on an F1 game.


I'm partially with Tobias here. The penultimate corner is the best one of the circuit done over 200kmh. T1 is a boring 90º done at around 150kmh, nothing special, and the following high speed S is dull because it's very easily full throttle.

Anyway, there is 99,9% chance this race is gonna be 1 or 2 rateable. Have anybody made a smile of that Alesi expression? will be surely appropriate next Sunday

The worst and therefore unnecessary turns on this track are 5, 6, 12, and 13. Unless this race is amazing I won't be watching since I don't have much time.

How would you know if the race is terrible if you're not watching?

The 1st DRS zone has been extended by 80m 8O

Im surprised the extended the 1st zone as it was already pretty effective last year & having the 2nd zone directly after the 1st did nothing but undo any passing that had occurred in the 1st zone.


Doesn't matter, I doubt anyone will be near one second of one another anywhere on this track so DRS will be irrelevant but for a bitchfest after the race where the only 2 overtakes it did manage to create get decried as rubbish.

Meh, this at least is the benefit of watching the race with F1InPubs, if it's shit you can get drunk and entertain yourselves with drinking games, tweeting, picture taking, pun contests and other crap that distracts you from nothing going on.

I look at the Rate the GP threads before downloading a race if it's on during my sleeping hours, which is often. I trust TBK's judgment.

Thanks for the info, I must switch to BBC. I love John Watson's voice color :D

I've grown used to it, his technical explanations are awesome, much much better than Ted 'I'm down here at McLaren' Kravitz

the only problem about Gary, for me anyway, is that he is quite old to run around the pitlane for me. But if he is okay with that function, I don't see any problem with it, and I have enjoyed his insights throughout the season. Much better than Ted's...

After Korea and India I'm seriously not able to do this. Perhaps this would be different if it was a different track, like Brazil.

Now I'm just thinking that Red Bull is dominant and there can't be any big changes in one week, so this will suck.

Sorry for the negative thoughts. ;)

I thought that was the point of TBK?
