Guess Bahrain also wants double points because Abu Dhabi has that too.


and they bring logistic chaos to all the teams

Just remove both of them from calendar. Those countries should only bring sand from the desert for runoff areas of other tracks. :p

tracks with Laguna Seca runoff areas full of trapping sand would be funny

I hope they will get more out of their engines tomorrow during QLF so we can see some higher top speeds. :8:

By 2020 every track will be defined by 2 white lines along a huge patch of tarmac. Awesome.

Australia is as much a logistic nightmare as Bahrain, if not worse. Nitpicking aside, I get your point though, it may be difficult to achieve but the calendar should be continentally-themed for plenty of good reasons: practical, economical, ecological...

Perhaps if Ron Walker wasn't bitching so much perhaps he could keep Australia as round 1.

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.

This may have been true for the first practice, I'm watching a rerun of practice 2 and some drivers are consistently putting two wheels 50cm outside the white line at exit, coming back on track before the curb starts. this may be worse during the race as tyres wear out and battling for position.

RBR drivers are some of the biggest offenders on that, they seem to be running some dodgy oversteering setup. Fun to watch though, they're sliding around like there's no tomorrow.

Gravel separated boys from men, now it's easy to take risks. Tarmac run-off really sucks. Specially at parabolica, where the exit of the turn had no kerb. It was the craziest turn to take on the edge. Now it's all history.
