I Hope that doesnt mean feb 1st is going to be a nightmare for traffic round woking....

It is a closed event, but no idea how many will be there.

Not sure if it was mentioned but the reason why Seb (not sure about Mark but should be the same?) was so quick on the first lap was due to them heating the tyres from the exhaust gasses... which was what went wrong at Abu Dhabi.

I know that was a popular rumour, but was it ever actually confirmed?

It was in F1 racing this month, so must have a source somewhere?

I hear williams isn't doing a proper unvail? just a quick dust sheet take off down in the pits just before the test on the 7th?

Same as Toro Rosso and the other back markers.

I'm guessing they only print X amount which are then sent to the shops and to subscribers, so they only add new subscribers to the following issue maybe?

Going by Scarbs, it has been possible to make the top roll hoop lighter recently (i.e. lowering center of gravity), which could also be why they've changed back.
