I like some of these rule changes, starting to make things a lot more black and white.

I just hope they make sure to follow what happens over the year and not randomly issue penalties like seems to have happened previously. Thats my biggest problem with the rulings they make.

They did it in 2007, it worked out quite well. They should also have a time limit on how long they have to catch up to the rest of the field. We shouldn't have to wait minutes because some driver unlaps himself, pits, and then still has to catch up to the field.

I'm not sure how it works, just saying that sometimes it seems like drivers take flipping forever to catch up for no real reason.

Same thing happened in India and Korea over the last couple of seasons. The mad dash to get the tracks ready and all. Yes they could race, but finding grip was a pain in India and Korea didn't really seem to be able to shed water after the rains. I'm glad New Jersey will be a street circuit, should be less prep work IMO. Austin really seems to be turning into a cluster....

This is a little self serving but thought some of you would be interested in it. I did an interview with the Austin Statesman a few days ago. Here is the link:

I guessing he will make it through 2012 but he will be a tester there after.

Shame for Petrov. He was growing on me so I hope he ends up somewhere. He at least has a podium which is a lot more than some of the other #2 drivers have.
I'm interested in seeing what Grosjean can do now. |

With that much cash I am sure he will get a drive. Maybe Williams?

2 pay drivers? I don't know. Sutil still needs a seat (presumably he's out at FI). STR are potentially sitting put.

I think that's great for Grosjean. Will be interesting to see how he stacks up against Kimi though. The last time he partnered with a world champion it didn't work out so well. Giorgio Pantano also kicked butt in GP2, and look where he ended up. I hope he succeeds though!
Feel bad for Bruno...it would be a great story if he was just a little bit quicker, but clearly isn't as naturally talented as the great one. |

Not sure if you guys brought this up in the 2011 thread, but I just stumbled upon this.
The cars sound like garbage under braking due to the blown diffusers...good thing they'll be gone next year. |
