Korean Grand Prix 2011, Yeongam Circuit - Race 16/19

I thought that the thing with the Williams gearbox, was that the angle of the driveshaft was much more acute than other teams. Then again, when you consider the performance of the Williams this year, would people really want to copy them?
 
I actually cannot remember anything from this race last year, nevertheless I shall be awake bright and early to watch this live :) (may as well make the most of it as I don't have Sky so going to be missing out big time next year :()
 
Wasn't this the one where Sutil was smashing everyone off the tracking by trying to go up the inside in torrential rain, and wondering why his car wouldn't stop?

Fantastic entertainment if I recall clearly.

Yep, it was lobbing it down with rain and Sutil spent more time off the track and on it, and then Vettel's engine exploded when it started going dark.

I quite like the track and enjoyed last year's race. Plus it means we get to eat Korean food, winner!
 
Interesting post from a guy from Pistonheads:


I'm at the circuit right now (I'm an engineer for one of the teams) and nothing has chsnged since last year. Its as if they shut the gates and locked them after last years race and then only opened them up a week ago. There were still spec sheets from the previous teams in the hospitality suites. I know that MRL turned up to find the red bull floor graphics still on the floor of their garage from last year. There's been no development whatsoever and the place still looks like a building site. All the paddock is overgrown and they've done nothing to improve the terrible finish of all the paving, walkways and ironwork.

I'll get some photos and put them up as its really very poor. To add to it all the hotels are still terrible with the majority of teams staying in love motels.

I really don't understand why we come here as there's clearly no desire for the sport or any support for it from the government. The fact that the place still isn't finished prooved that.
 
Gonna be a wet first practice.


Which will be a problem for the teams getting much needed dry running data - Pirelli have purposefully been very aggressive picking the super soft and soft compounds for this weekend on a circuit that already wears the tyres quickly.
