just an information is Petrobras without the "´" as it is a portmanteau that means Petróleo Brasileiro SA

Apparantly this was shown after the pre-race press conference, Mark Webber's last one. Where might one find a recording of this sort of thing?

Try going four wheels over the kerb on some of these corners, I dare you.

A lame finger-wagging from the stewards or a loss of 2 seconds back to the guy running 10 seconds behind you should be considered the preferable punishment here.

Corrected.

Actually, I've never noticed that, according to portuguese grammar, I would always add "´"...but, that's right, Petrobras! But never forget guys, you pronounce it, "PetrobrÁAAAAAXXXXXXXXX" or sometimes, depending on your humor, "Petrobáiiiiiiiixxxxxxxxx manoooooo" :p :lol:

Webber probably called Vettel a 'flaming galah'

That was one of the lifetime races, and I'll be happy enough if Sunday one is a worth of 7 or 8.

There have been only 5-8 race laps with intermediates tyres this year. Must be a record? Another boring season (2004) was dry as well.
But there's still a chance for a wet race:

Knowing Charlie, race is red flag if someone goes wide even once on inters. But knowing our luck, it's soaking on Friday with few action on track and dry on Sunday.

I don't remember this season being boring, certainly not on the scale of 2004. Just the last few races haven't been great.

All you ever talk about is rain, red flags and Charlie Whiting. Getting a bit tiresome, you know.

btw, there wasn't a single wet race lap between September 1985 and July 1988. 42 races.

Well sorry. I'm a fanatic local weather follower, and F1 and rain usually happen to be perfect combination for excitement. Also there's been many times this season when rain has been forecast and disappointingly it has never came.
Today with DRS passing and saving tyres/fuel mentality there's really nothing else than weather conditions that can produce excitement.

If that's what you think then why do you bother watching? Like I said above, the races haven't been that bad this season. Only the past few.

F1 is like an old relationship. It's getting predictable and there's always something to nag about. :p
But I'm still in love with the sport. There are fantastic drivers and there's a competition for being the best with the fastest cars. F1 is a pinnacle of motorsport and truly fascinating human invention. That's why we fans keep watching every Free Practices even if there wasn't any action on the track. :)

wet races are welcome, but the ideal scenario is rainfall, a damp track can get dry with the trail, but nothing better than see drops on the onboard camera and the track and cars always providing sprays

plus with no tire management :D

2nd DRS zone is along the start straght & begins 60m before turn 15 (Detection point 30m after turn 13).
http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2013/11/21/t ... nterlagos/

Did Interlagos really need a 2nd zone, Especially along the start straght where we see lots of overtaking anyway?


Crazy to think we haven't had a proper wet race this year 8O

I sometimes ask myself why I keep on watching. Then I remember that this is a sport that I fell in love with 22 years ago and have followed ever since. Whilst the interest is slowly dying, and it gets boring at times, I still watch in the hope of a decent race reminding me why I love F1. Sometimes we're lucky enough to have some rule changes to allow this. Other times you just have to sit through the boredom.

Did the drivers in the 90's cry so much about the rain, and we just couldn't hear it? Was there less health and safety/responsibility on the officials? I just know. I just know that I used to watch drivers battling it out in all kinds of conditions, and I'm sorry if I get frustrated at not being to see that anymore.

And yeah, screw DRS. It is not needed here. That's a pointless decision that will mean passes are now completed along the straight rather than some cracking lunges and side by side moves into the corner. Well done.

Agreed, season was great till the summer break. Then dominance and conservative tyres ruined everything. and 2004 was much worse indeed, now there usually is some good racing behind Vettel.
