Easy.

Knock down the building(s) around it.

Install four acres of tarmac runoff.

Sorted. :thumbsup:

Good point gd49.

If there isn't enough run-off before impact (like the Ferrari crash proved) then the only solution is a normal 90deg corner, with a kerb chicane on the straight before to slow them down (like Baltimore in Indycars). But I hate that kind of chicane so I'd prefer the Sling to stay as it is.

:D great creativity.

Well...regarding Bruno Senna, I think I don't have a formed opinion on him as much as I do in regards to Massa who simply convinced me to be a very bad driver who shouldn't even be racing at a top racing series. It's quite probable that we are watching Bruno's last F1 season. My only question is, what would happen If he had a McLaren in hands, that's it.

What if he had Massa's Ferrari in his hands?

Maybe that's where he should go....

No, absolutely not! That would be just terrible, Ferrari not again! If Lewis Hamilton goes to Mercedes in 2013, why not Bruno in McLaren? I don't see why not. He needed a final chance at a top team.....now If McLaren keeps this rubbish thing of being a british team for british drivers only, that's just stupid...They could, at least, pay for their historical debt with Ayrton Senna who struggled with a very bad equipment in 1992 and 1993 by hiring Bruno, that's it! :p

Bruno needs another season, he has more speed than he's showing, but the pressure over his shoulder is huge. Here in Brazil there's two kind of people that annoys a lot...

A) People who hate Ayrton Senna and tries to curse and to support against Bruno as much as they can, saying bad stuff, a very childish behaviour. They hate the kid for no reason, its painfully idiot.

B) People who love Ayrton Senna so much that thinks Bruno Senna has the same skills as his uncle and expects Bruno to do miracles in the track.

Both are very bad for Bruno and puts different kind of pressure over him, which is a big problem sometimes, even if Bruno can deal very well with the pressure.

Bruno started his career very late, never had the kart experience and as F1 don't have tests all over the year its harder for him to get used to the car, if he finds a good place for 2013, the 2012 experience will help a lot. Bruno had some nice isolated performances that makes us believe he has more to show, but F1 is cruel and cold, if he don't prove to be fast as soon as possible he will find himself out of the game really really soon.

There's also another fact, Maldonado is really fast, his speed is unbeliveable. He may be crazy sometimes and make some stupid mistakes, but God the guy is fast! Maybe, the fastest driver in the current grid. I say fastest, not the best!! Please don't misundertood what I'm saying. Its one of the various skills a driver needs and he has a fantastic speed, just need more brains.

After all, I like Bruno Senna a lot and I hope he can find himself in F1 and shows his best soon, good luck for him!

Bruno is a decent driver, but nothing more I'm afraid.

"Why not Bruno in a McLaren?"

Because drives should be earned and there are multiple drivers on the grid who deserve that drive long before Bruno does right now.

I like Bruno but he doesn't deserve a McLaren drive.

Taking out people who watched Formula One just because of Ayrton Senna (basically 95% of the population watched F1 because of him), there are also people who enjoy F1 as a whole and kept watching F1 with passion after Senna's death, that's my case for example....it's not that Bruno is going to repeat the same performance of Ayrton, we all know that....the problem is that...there's always a hope! Who knows? We never know what can happen.....what If he turns a genius from night to day?

Being a passionate about Ayrton Senna since I was born, it's very difficult not to respect Bruno Senna and expect something new and different happening - even knowing he's not as good as other drivers. Take the example of Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the USA, is Jr as good as his father? Of course NOT, but everybody loves him and expects one day a superb race or championship.

Do you guys want another example? Damon Hill was as good as Graham Hill? Not even in people's wildest dreams! Damon Hill ended raising a F1 trophy though! On the right car, at the right circumstances, he did it. Bruno can do it better I think, If getting similar opportunities.

You have to earn those opportunities. Bruno hasn't yet. I see no reason why he should get a seat at McLaren over any other driver on the grid so far.

I'd like to see one of the Force India drivers in a McLaren. Either would be at least on par with Jenson Button.

The weather kinda sucks, it's overcast with some fog at a low altitude. But the humidity is very low and no bad clouds are around, so I doubt it will rain, and if it does it will probably be a 10 minute shower.

I like Bruno. He's consistant, and generally brings the car home far more often than Pastor. Sadly I just don't think he's really fast enough.

Speaking of Bruno, his day has got off to a bad start as a 5 place penalty for a gearbox change means he will start from 22nd place.

I hope Lewis gets on the podium, because EJ will push him for an answer on 2013...

So Lewis will mysteriously drop from 1 to 4 in the last lap due some inexplainable mechanical failure? :p

What are the weather predictions actually?
