This is highlighting the problem with relying on DRS & high-deg tyres rather than doing something to the cars to improve the racing.

DRS is too sensitive to specific conditions, It either works too well or not that well & its not necessarily the length of the zone which determines how it works.
And once the teams figure out the tyres late in the season your going to get more predictable wear as teams/drivers optimise setups & driving styles.

The best way to ensure good racing throughout the season is to come up with something aerodynamically to allow cars to follow closer & overtake without the need for things like DRS, KERS & tyres designed to degrade.

Kovalainen up to 15th courtesy of most of the midfield crashing into each other.

For the prediction competition on F1Zone, swap Web/Alo, Mas/But and all the top ten are how I predicted. Sums up the track I think.

Well the wider front wing makes them rely on it more. Chop that, and sort the diffuser, not the rear wing. Use the Swift answer to it.

You can't uninvent things and you can't delete progress.

Scuderia Ferrari ‏@InsideFerrari
Fernando gave 110% to try and pass Webber but there are still 19 laps to go...

That surely means they're preserving 3rd.

Just got a retweet from Taki Inoue.

That's made up for the race.
