They could turn it into an actual car park, which just happens to be on the outside of turn one lol.

I hope they leave those steel poles there if they make a tarmac run-off.

If they are going to do that for F1 my question is why? There have been no serious accidents at that part of the track (Ralf tried hard in 2002) and as far as I know there have been no roll overs. It seems that the FIA have determind that gravel traps are a relic of the past and are to be dispensed with.

I would like to know if there has been a pshycological study done on racing drivers and the effect on their driving attitudes to tarmaced run off versus gravel run offs...eg. Has their driving standards and risk aversion been altered at all with the change of run offs. For me personally I would say yes, they are less cautious about run offs, though the only example I can think of at the moment where a driver would have backed off is Webber on Alonso in Belgium last year. He wouldn't have done that if the corner hadn't been sanitised.

In saying that....they might just be making a normal car park there, so need ashphalt.

Can't really see it in the photo Kals, but that section of grass on the left has been dug out some. Could just be us purists going into melt down mode over nothing though...might be drainage...but then again...it might not...?

Another great article

James Allen posted on twitter that HRT staff at their HQ received their redundancy notices.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Was always going to happen eventually

so maximum of 22 cars next year and Lotus and Marrussia rumored to need money as well...... So maybe even back to 20 cars..... sad moment...

I wouldn't really miss them. My thoughts are with the employees, hope for them that the future will be clear very soon.

FIA will fix this by droping the maximum entries down to 22 or down to 20 for next season, just like they did when USF1 went tits up. Next week Prodrive will deliver their request for entry, which will be denied as the series is already filled.

Just your thoughts or will prodrive really send in a request?

After the way they've been treated on previous occassions I don't think Prodrive will ever submit another entry to F1.

Wow impressive job by Lotus. Genii seriously is doing a god job right there! And the colours of Burn should fit pretty well on the livery of the Lotus.

Mclaren, lololol.

Crap, I was still thinking of Caterham as being Lotus.
