Pretty true though, since they actually are making the cars handle worse just to make passing more exciting. Don't we have enough nascar already for ****s sake? And the hp burst for passing, meh. It's like a drag race and nascar all in one. I hope they start crashing a lot and some drivers are injured prompting a change back to an intelligent design; the fastest it can be, not let some asshead who thinks he has a great idea.

Please stop talking about F1. You understand less about the rule changes than my wife.

If you do not like it don't watch.

Have a nice day

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. They are comparable but look at the field.
To see Mclaren and Ferrari in middle positions it is most certainly a slower field.

it looks great! it's like a flip of what it used to be. ferrari, mclaren, and bmw all on the bottom half, but then this is just practice. we'll have to wait and see what their real pace is later tonight. and the diffusers...

I don't think so. They've had a pretty rough preseason. They're not expecting to get the bugs out til round 7. I hope they're sand baggin'. LEW 4 2

They changed the aero packages so that the cars could drive behind one another with little buffeting... Have you heard about the regenerative braking system that stores energy and releases it through an electric motor adding 80 Hp of boost? Its call KERS... its crazy, Toyota Prius technology makes it to F1!!!!!

The upcoming rules. I'm pretty sure I understand because I watched a video where the rules were described by an f1 driver????
Seems pretty reasonable to assume he is right.....and the post was about the funny picture really, no reason to get your panties in a twist. Could explain my incorrect information or the actual rules instead of being a dick, woot but i could give 2 shiets.
its on youtube.

not all teams are running them the first two races. kubica isn't running it on the BMW either. we'll see how this KERS thing works out. i hope it's unreliable as hell and all the teams decides to ditch it by midseason...that'll be like smacking max on the butt. oh wait...he'll enjoy that. nevermind.
