What are the MotoGP rules?

The DTM rules are halfway there. They have introduced a soft tyre that must be used during the race, but while teams will also use them in qualifying there's no restriction on when they use them in the race.

No. In MotoGp you can use hard and soft at the same time.

Lotus

Supported the team in its various brands for years and years

More and more I think I wouldn't watch if I didn't support a team. Think it's just become to expensive, too many rules. And too much about spending power.

Rules I don't like include Drs only in certain places, tyre restrictions where pirellis choice can decide the championship. Enforcement is still inconsistent. I can'tbbelieve there wasn't some sort of penalty for alonsos release in the pits

A lot of rulings seem to be designed to spice up the championship too.

Been watching some old f1 races, a lot more exciting, cheaper and innovative

I've said it before, I still think tyre choice should be up to the teams. I don't care about 'green' farce. At least it let's teams have some freedom in the design of their car. In if you go to soft, tough, is your own fault

Can anyone advise me on good German Food (Sausages I guess) and good German beer please?

Well can't really go wrong with sausages, other things which immediately spring to mind are pretzels and spatzle.

There are sooo many beers from Germany so it depends what you like... I really like German Wheat beers, the hefe variety, which means it's not filtered. Personal favourite is Weihenstephaner (have some set aside for this weekend :)) if I can't get that I tend to go for Franziskaner.

They did have a gap between tyre types (except for Monaco and Canada iirc), but seemed to have stopped doing it :confused:

That's because they can't use the Soft or Super Soft compounds, as they're too fragile for extended use. It should change once last year's compounds come back in at Hungary.
 
i think with the tires they should say to all the teams you have 70 sets of each compound for the season, use them as you like.

teams tell pirelli what tire they want to use for each gp far enough in advance for pirelli to manufacture them.

a car needs say 4 sets per race, 3 for quali 4 for practice. so say 12 sets for a race weekend minimum (dont no what they get at the moment).

240 tires for a season with 20 races.

70 of each compound excluding inter/wet is 280
 
Revised fatter DRS flap for Mclaren this weekend

Drivers might boycott the race if the tyre failures happen again: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/23190671

I can see it now. First free weekend I've had in ages to watch every session and it might flipping get called off. Typical.

Can't blame the drivers though, I'd be cacking myself. Doesn't exactly help that they haven't raced the track since 2011. Hope the new revised tyres hold up....please :(

That would work out great for Lewis and Kimi if they did as they are not members ;)
