You sir just linked me to a video containing Jonathan Legard talking with no warning, alerts or compensatory puppies and kittens. Shame on you.
was also on the Option. The new Hard used here this weekend is about 2 seconds off the pace thus far.

Hungary 98, amazing drive simply amazing to watch, 25 laps banged in on the limit, he even had the time to go off track and still make it work.
Spain 96 and Spa 96 also show the demon that is MS at his best, sure his days are long gone now but at his peak he was simply amazing to watch, no matter what the car.

the choice to do that is a little baffling to me. Its been seen quite clearly that just having it one one straight has been enough at EVERy race to get either wheel to wheel or a straight pass. All it means is that the passer gets to go even further ahead for the next straight.
Baffling.
well I'd be in favour of having them open the DRS for two straights if they halved the benefit gained from opening it. This would give them less of an obvious fly-past advantage like we saw at the last race and replace it with more of an ability to keep withink striking distance of the driver in front through multiple corners.
If they keep the strength of the DRS as it is and make it available in multiple straights that is surely going to make it too powerful.

From what I read it, no. There will still be just the one detection point which is before straight one.

Wow great lap from Hamilton, it could be a 4 horse race this weekend then.
eh? Only 3 mate, Button is too slow and I don't understand why people are chatting about ferrari winning on here, they just arn't are they.
just being realistic.
the 3 people to watch are Webber, Hamilton and the shiny teeth funny chat from that germany
all very nice chaps who all deseave to win.
but I have to admin I am leaning on Lewis since im a fan of his. im not sure if anybody else noticed that there wasn't many people there............wish I knew they were low on ticket sales me and my dad would had gone.

all top cars set their fastest time on the option tires, but intresting that vettel did 2 identical laps one on top of another then pitted but lewis just did the one.............
Not sure if its been mentioned but Canada and Valencia will have a double DRS zone!

Still too early to tell imo. I'm sure they only did either 1 or 2 laps on the soft tyres, so the gap is still to be determined - and could be the usual .5 to .75 second difference to Red Bull or much less (hopefully).

But Duke.......you have just spoken the truth. If I was either one of the three names I mention for qualifying I would try and do a time on the primes........then pit after lap 9-10 also so you would be about 20 odd seconds behind the lead car......but then think about the time id gain from the two stints in a lighter car on the options......just somthing to think about.
but as you say or about to say.......maybe it won't work.
I agree Duke that the gap is too early to tell....even in qualifying we all shouldn't have an idea.....well a rough idea if anything.

I'm really sad. To get to know the track ahead of the weekend i've been hammering Catalunya on F1 2010.
I managed a 1:20.9 with my new ff wheel - wonder how the real times will compare.
edit: I just noticed there is whole thread of people doing it... linky

Saw that this morning, and had to laugh. So they were going to ban them, then changed their mind, but still think that they don't conform to the rules anyway. Ooookay....
In other news, the famously pro-Ferrari FIA have told Ferrari that they can't run their new rear wing any more. It wasn't outright illegal, but it exploited a loophole in the regulations.
