I still wasn't expecting to see Nick put it up there despite how well everyone said BMW were going. |
And Kubica joins the list of drivers hailed as future champions for
being almost as quick as Nick.

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. |

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.) |
the first time.
At the risk of repeating myself - Bollocks!

"The world's best driver in the world's best Formula 1 car dominates the world championship. I just wish we had really seen him against Ayrton Senna." Interesting quote. Who said that, Anand? |

"The McLarens were notably unreliable in the test - they'd barely get
you down to the chip shop on some days."

Super Aguri has made a super progress with just a season under its belt! LOL. Where on motherearth did a fledgling team get a car like that?  Out qualifying both this years cars. There must be some very red faces down at the Honda pit. |
returning to 10 teams in Sepang?

Coulthard and then Fisichella decide not to go out on their
qualifying laps.

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