**** Yeeuuuaahhh!!! :D

Awesome, excited to see what the changes are and how the car does- would be so funny if it's such a good change that we can get a podium from it :D

Indeed, Mclaren said at the end of 2012 that they actually didn't expect the car to be as good as it was, they went a direction with it and the car exceeded those expectations and they weren't sure why lol. CFD/Wind tunnel to track correlation etc.

They should just connect up the front pull-rod suspension upside down again like they did in pre-season testing when they thought they had a world-beater until they realised the error :D
 
Vettel fastest. And not a single **** was given.

In more interesting news, the court hearing to try and cancel the race has been postponed...until after the race :D

Thats good to hear, although I doubt after the gap next year we'll be back to this circuit.
 
Vettel to punt Alonso off and re-create the Schumacher smug face moment from 94?
 
I missed a race 3 or so races ago and didn't feel the urge to watch the highlights. I've now missed 3 or 4 on the trot for the first time in about 30 years. Flicking through these threads is the nearest I get to F1 interest right now :(

I've written off this season like many. I don't mind an easy title win if the races are atleast competitive and interesting but this season has been as boring as any in the schumacher years for me.

Looking forward to the changes now.
 
Massive fine coming to williams.
Their wheel nut has failed yet again. Just fell off maldonaldos car and rolled down the track.

I suppose this is the difference between watching to see who wins and watching to see a race.

There has been some great racing going on this season. But I do get that it can be hard to ignore the fact there's some German dude miles out in front.

Personally I couldn't watch this season if I only cared about the win
Couple of races have been pretty good behind 1st, particularly the last one

Lotus finishing second would be like a win for me

And whoops Williams wheel woes
