Sure... second only to the view from the cockpit.

Also, he now has a chance to team up with JPM again.

Prediction: JPM crashes Kimi out in lap 1 of their first race together.

Kevin M · 2011-03-29, 10:35 AM

Maybe they goal is to move to a Nascar series so they have the opportunity to crash each other out multiple times per race.

I hope there is in-car audio for that.

It's open!

Anyone else, feel free to join too. You won't be at a huge disadvantage as in seasons past. Bob? Cory? You guys follow F1 right?

MPREZIV · 2011-04-05, 07:00 AM

Yeah, but not closely enough anymore to try to analyze races and pick drivers and whatnot. Ten years ago, I'd have been all over that, but I just enjoy hanging out with friends at 1:30 in the morning on a Sunday and watching these days.

Bob Danger · 2011-04-10, 04:44 PM

Lotus Renault GP looks really good this season. Despite Petrov attempting to grow wings.

MattR · 2011-04-10, 06:31 PM

They need a special edition General Lee paint scheme on Petrov's Renault. Ridiculous, and it cost me FF1 points.

The Flyin' Russian doesn't roll off the tounge as easily as the Flyin' Finn.

I wonder how his back feels after that.

Nick Koan · 2011-04-12, 06:06 PM

Probably like that steering column felt.

In other news, the Austin circuit announced their official name. Circuit of the Americas. They also announced that MotoGP will be racing there as well. They also have extensive plans on how to use the facility when not racing. And, in fact, they expect racing to only be 30 days a year there.

What a great race China was. I vote that they get rid of all the crappy street circuits. Real race tracks only from now on.

Nick Koan · 2011-04-17, 09:55 AM

Yeah, that was an awesome race. Best dry race in years.

sybir · 2011-04-17, 07:50 PM

Hell yes. Really enjoyed the whole race - rare these days, lol.

sperry · 2011-04-17, 09:34 PM

+1

Fantastic race, start to finish. I can't believe Webber was able to make up so much ground after that awful qualifying, eqspecialy without KERS. Something even worse must have been wrong with Vettel's car, he shouldn't have had such a tough fight with Hamilton. But whatever the reason, it was awesome. I hate to say it, but the wing gimmick, shitty tires, and qualifying red flags are actually making the races more interesting. I feel guilty for enjoying the manufactured parity.

skimonkey30 · 2011-05-08, 08:48 AM

Perfect place to put the DRS zone that made for some great passing going into turn 12

Agreed, the teams and the stewards are putting this change to good use, the races are pretty awesome. I'm loving the manufactured passing! Even grumps like Dean may enjoy watching a race now.
