Qualifying will change with the Super Aguri demise. There are now 20 cars instead of 22.

Q3 stays the same, with the top 10 drivers for pole shootout.
Q1 and Q2 will each drop 5 drivers instead of 6.

Geez,

Anyone see the freak accident in the GP2 race this weekend?

Yeah, that was all bad :(

Yeah, poor nose-cone :(

Testing at Paul-Ricard today.

Looks like Honda's front winglets have spawned their own winglets.

Rumor mill has Sato replacing Piquet Jr. at Renault.

That's a good move, Piquet is shit.

Yeah... I've been pretty disappointed by his performance... though a lot of it has been just shitty luck getting wrecked out so often... but if you qualify in the back, you get wrecked more often.

As a Sato fan, I'd root for him in a Renault... especially if he can upstage Alonso even just a little bit. :devil:

According to the official F1 page, the weather will be pretty nasty in Monte Carlo this weekend. Currently there is a forecast for a high chance of rain Saturday and Sunday. Monte in the rain is an interesting prospect.

Dear god. :(

It'll be a massacre.

Indeed...I can't find any record of any past Monaco GP's in the rain, I'm sure theres been a few...but I know it will be carnage.

:mog:

Oh don't worry, the traction control will save them...

I found a simulation:

:lol:

That's awesome. I almost choked on my burrito by mistakenly taking a bite just as the guy started mounting the cars in front of him off the start. :lol:

I think I may skip making picks this week :lol:

:cool:

F1 in the 90's was *awesome*... I really miss F1 Decade on Speed. :(

I know, I miss Teams like Footwork, Arrows and Tyrell.

Apparently in '96, Tyrell was running Kawasaki engines! How pimp is that!

Someone had Yamaha engines for a while too, I'd have to look that up.

Sounds like Sutil wouldn't have finished in the points at Monaco

Eh, Force India should be allowed to pass under yellow.

Oooh burn! I remember seeing a lot of passing under yellow at the hairpin, but I thought those guys all sorted their positions back out by the time they got to the tunnel?

Either way, I don't think the lack of points, or the could have been penalty should take away from Sutil's drive that day. The kid really stepped up and showed that under the great equalizer (wet conditions) he's driver enough to duke it out with the big name drivers. All he needs is a fast car and he's a potential race winner IMO.

I totally agree his drive was amazing and I wish he had been put in a Mclaren as the rumors mentioned during the summer! I felt so bad for him when Kimi accidentally punted him coming out of the tunnel

Yeah that whole thing was ugly. I'm a big Kimi fan, so my opinion is typically a bit biased, but that to me looked like it was simply an ugly accident.
