F1 - 2011

Don't forget his brief stint with NASCAR earlier this year.

 

At this point I think Heidfeld might be happy Renault dropped him. It has to be clear to everyone by now that he wasn't the problem. With 34 points he's still 10th in the championship standings and only 2 points behind Petrov. :lol:

Yup, a typo, should be 1988-91.

 

What is postponed?

 

Non-driver testing, weird rigs, etc, from the Young Driver Test last week.

 

I'm watching the second practice session in Brazil and Vettel's on-board camera is actually a helmet cam. Very cool video. I hope he wears it for quali and the race as well.

 

Here's a sample:

Entertaining speculation:

Did exhaust heating cause Vettel's Abu Dhabi problem? (grandprix.com)

 

Sao Paolo weather forecast for tomorrow 80% chance of precip., Sunday 90%...

 

Precip forecast for the time of the race has dropped to around 40%...for now. I'm hoping for mixed conditions. :fingerscrossed:

 

I just saw an update from the folks at Speed claiming "Brazilian G.P. at Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace (Interlagos) Race Day Sunday: Thunderstorms, Hi 71°, 100% Precip."
