    I hope so, I miss the days of a good old engine letting go. Now they see it happening and shut down before parts fly.

    It could be argued that the speed it took Alonso to get in front of both Daniel and Seb is why he locked up in the first place, don't think it had any effect on the finishing results but had Magnusson done that, they would have had a public hanging..... Of course I'm a Ferrari fan so me thinks it should have been a no call....

    Dang my crystal ball sure flickered before the lights even went out for the start today..... [emoji57]

    I bet both Nico & Lewis wish they were in 1 car teams. :wink: I think 1 car teams would be a good idea. Why limit teams to 2 cars & now push for 3 car teams?

    I wish him all the best. Ferrari better get to it & build a competitive car. Not to knock Vettel, but I don't see him being able to do what Alonso has with a gimpy car.

    .....and we wonder how far into season 2015 it will be before Ron Dennis and Alonso rekindle their differences...?

    I saw the video and debated posting it or not. I'm glad it is posted as a link where you can decide on your own.

    Haas F1 is already a much bigger deal than USF1 ever was.

    So an F1 car goes into a corner hot then a caution pops up & his car automatically cuts revs to slow it down. I see cars sliding off track as a result of such a knee jerk change.

    The telemetry now shows who lifted & who didn't for a caution flag. Use that info to penalize the guilty. Won't be long before eve the dumbest driver gets the point.

    I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you or the NBC announcers, but I think that's an interesting perspective.

    Remember when the most likely criticism of Pirelli's tires was they had too much effect on races because they were all subject to too much degradation? I guess it took a while for people to get used to it so now when they provided (accidentally, because they didn't correctly predict the track characteristics) a compound that lasted, attention turns to how much more interesting the race might have been with less cautious compounds.

    I was happy with the tires situation. Not because I necessarily want them all to last full races, or nearly so, but because I like that it was an unpredicted and unexpected factor. The teams knew the compounds before the weekend started and got to practice on them and still didn't know what was going to happen half way through the race! Admittedly, that's really almost entirely because the track was unknown but I'm still left wishing that, instead of carefully trying to match tires to each individual track, Pirelli would produce 4-5 compounds per year and then choose the pair of compounds for each track randomly. Either that or provide all the compounds at each race and let each team decide which two they want to use. And maybe make them choose in advance but keep the teams' choices secret so you don't have one team second-guessing based on what others are doing.

    Yeah, I'm over-thinking this.....

    Vettel's done some remarkable runs from the back of the grid. I expect that he'll still finish pretty well, despite having Webber's car.

    I think that is just a poor imitation of a Lego Nigel. A real Lego Nigel would have to have little Lego pieces to make up the dodgy 'tache, as obviously no Nigel can be authentic if he's 'tache-less.
