Great performances over all, delighted to see the grid order but
for unlucky Filipe.
Yeah but a superpilot might pull it back from there...and his odds for
the
WDC are bound to have lengthened giving Bob another chance to lump on.

Agreed.

--it will be interesting to see if he can drive a
mature race and put that Ferrari back where it appears to belong -

Agreed.

There is more room for strategy to help a car recover from poor
qualifying this year.

I'd be happy to read you explain more on that.

In the main I am simply referring to the mandatory use of both compounds and
that it may be possible to switch to a vastly different strategies without
being compromised as much as when on a single compound. How much flexiblity
there is will depend on individual tracks and conditions. E.g. if both
compounds are relatively hard, long lasting, there are not as many options
as if one is soft and the other hard there will be more.

Putting it simply there will be less of a penalty when choosing to run long
on hard or shorter on soft, but the variation in speeds will be greater than
possible last year.

The SC is also bound to have more of an impact because of this variation.

One example; last year a SC towards the last stint may have seen the front
runners all put on new boots and head for the flag. This year the car in
front may not only lose it lead but find itself on hard rubber with his
rival on soft now right on his gearbox. It might just make the difference,
especoially when you consider the difficulty some cars have getting heat
back into the tyres.

You can't plan for SCs but you can have contingencies.

(2 hours sleep last night so if that rambles or doesn't make sense so be it.
I need to get a few things done before I can get some shuteye ahead of the
race so I shan't even attempt to edit it.)

Just in case no-one's noticed - we now have a mandatory pitstop for
the first time.

At the risk of repeating myself - Bollocks!

....Thank the motherf*cking you-know-who, kids.

This is not done. Are we looking at a possibility of the grid
returning to 10 teams in Sepang?

Looks like the only Honda team that didn't do well this weekend is going
to be the works F1 team. Super Aguri showing up the works in F1, and the
three LMP2 Acura teams all doing well... ;P
