My post was intended to be sarcastic. . . . .One of the forums i frequent has a renault aero engineer on it and from what hes seen and heard from the mclaren and ferrari garage is that they should have an updated aero package for round 3 in china, but redbull is ****ed cause there rear end cant accept the newer diffusers due to either axle or suspension design, which sucks cause i wanted to see vettel and bourdais do well

I would love to see Brawn GP do well. Hope they don't ban those diffusers.

I can't say I really like the look of the new cars, but I know it was for a reason. It looks like they have taller skinnier tires and little to no aero hehe. When I first saw them, I was like omfg they're racing swamp buggies on F1 tracks!?!?

the new cars look awful, but they are right, the racing is better. love how the tire temps just drops off so fast during SC periods.

I already know. I was reading lap notes at the track. Rules are not luck.
There was a 5 lap SC. Any tire would cool with that much time. What was the deal anyway? What took 5 laps to clear?

The stewards were just stupid, the SC was for Kaz's crash and it took them way too long to deploy the car and it was out for an extra 2 laps IMO. Also one reason why the tires are losing heat so much quicker this year is because the FIA asked bridgestone to widen the gap in the tire compounds so instead of a one compound difference there now doing a two compound difference which is just dumb.
