Lotus drivers approve of this change: http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2014/8/16276.html

Let me analyse this using the Disgruntled F1 Fan Official Translator ©

Sentence 1: good heavens, I could crash while racing hard in an F1! Scary shit. This needs to stop.
Sentence 2: finding the limit of a challenging corner is how I truly earn my 6 or 7-figure income. I love my job made easy for me.

Becasue the FIA are dumb that's why.

That first sentence from Romain is so dumb it beggars belief

Yeah why on earth didn't they put dirt on the outside of a blindingly fast corner?

Epic duel that was, 98-00

I'm probably the only person who's really excited about this race.

Cloudy atm

I might be mistaken but I believe that this happened just after the start and still quite some distance away from the first corner.

Interesting. Force India had 3 drivers doing laps in one session: Hulkenberg, Juncadella and Perez. Actually team can have 4 drivers per friday session in one session, so theoretically if 4 test drivers take part in FP1, another 4 test drivers take part in FP2 and race drivers do rest of the weekend, a team can have 10 drivers in one weekend!?

Any speed trap data

346km/h so far

Perez did 348km/h

The tarmac at the Parabollica runoff thus far hasn't really changed how drivers go through it, With the exception of 3-4 occasions where small errors were made there not even putting 2 wheels on the white line & are running the same line through the exit as they were in the past.



Bernie has called a meeting with all the team principals to discuss the 2015 schedule (Bahrain wants to be the season opener) & on ways to improve the show.

Ivan Capelli also had a meeting with Bernie to discuss the future of Monza.

Oh no, that's a silly place to start the season. Melbourne has the atmosphere & beautiful skyline/lake. The one (Possiblly 2) times Bahrain has opened it felt like a boring season opener. Hopefully Ron Walker shuts this one down with a firm NO.

I'm sick of oil sheiks wanting their Grand Prix to be more special, so they pay Bernie for special place in the calendar.
Guess Bahrain also wants double points because Abu Dhabi has that too.
Just remove both of them from calendar. Those countries should only bring sand from the desert for runoff areas of other tracks.

I absolutely hate astro turf on racing tracks. It's a death trap for motorbikes (not that I expected WSBK to return to Monza, but still) and just gets ripped away by cars which are slowed down only marginally (if at all), spreading debris left and right. And when it's wet it's almost as slippery as grass.
Can't understand why they don't just leave tarmac or put real grass - or those rough surfaces as at Paul Ricard.
