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.

I would be very excited for this if it wasn't for all the recent tragedies. I simply can't look forward to this as I would normally. And to make it even worse, no more onboard channel from now on.

There's nearly been one serious injury already; Nico Rosberg was saved from a poisonous spider bite by a passing local who flicked the offending arachnid from his neck.

Turns 10 and 11 look less banked than I had imagined.

There will be 2 DRS zones with 2 activation points this weekend.

Image



I don't really see why they need 2 DRS zones on a track where overtaking looked like it would be more possible anyway.

I think having 1 zone on the start straght or on the straght between turns 4 & 5 would have been better as passing on the long straght between 3 & 4 would be possible even without DRS & DRS may just make things a bit too easy there.

I don't like bitching about Tilke, but do we really need such a long straight. China, Abu Dhabi, Korea, now India.
