@!#$@ YEAH LEWIS!
On a related note, Shanghai has convinced me that KERS and DRS are good for the sport, now all we need are more circuits where they can make a difference.
That’s true because the other dry Shanghai races were snoozefests. I’m glad they have it, it adds more variables and avoids the parade that used to happen.
Wonder how the race would have gone if Jenson hadn’t made that mistake in the pits. I’m pretty sure that it actually cost him more than Vettel since the McLaren pit crew seemed to take longer to work on his car than the Red Bull pit crew. Had he not made that mistake, he actually might have kept the lead at that point.
Two good races in a row on Tilkedromes? Well now, I regret sleeping through this one.
Great charge from Webber.
Mostly because DRS is designed to allow to take advantage of Tilke designed circuits and their signature long straights into slow corners.
Everything is better with yakety sax.

would anyone happen to have the post race forum for this race?
My usual site doesn’t have the upload yet 
I have it, but how would I send you the link?
PM, im on the fish site, but they don’t have it up yet.
I need an invite to racing underground, because it’s apparently there.
What’s the link for? Torrent, stream or newsgroup?
Torrent from racing underground. I tried PM, but wouldn’t the link break when you access it? I couldn’t find a way to send you the downloaded link.
I’d need to be a member there to get the download. Do you have an invite code? I’d really appreciate it.
No I don’t I have been a member for a long time before they started doing that. PM your email address and I can email the torrent, then you open and DL without the membership thing.
I have a -420GB ratio, and you need a +100GB to give out invites. Even if I start seeding like mad, it would be a couple years to get back to that ratio.
Not sure how we missed this bit of new from last Friday.
In some ways they are right, but how much cash do they blow on Nascar every year? Their tracks were even included in the bailout. I for one, would not want my tax dollars going to any Nascar Oval.
China was an excellent race, one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Strong racing and bold moves with mixing strategies. :tup:
Now that is what I want from F1, shame it isn’t always this good.
So this year’s Turkish GP might be the last one? Damn, what a bummer. Istanbul Park is one of the few Tilke circuits with actual character. I for one am gonna miss Turn 8, aka “Diabolica.”
Yeah, it was great for MotoGP as well, but turn 11 was the ill turn the way it dog legged up hill flat out.
The only good Tilke track for sure. imo
I also liked Turns 1 and 2 aka the “Turkish Corkscrew” and the way it tends to catch people out just like the similar “Senna S” at Interlagos.
That said, I am still looking forward to Austin. The track looks interesting enough, especially with the climb up the start/finish straight.
Mark Webber the man with no KERS jumps 18th to 3rd place at Shanghai. Who needs turbo boost?
Hope the world still exists, need to go to f1 at Austin.
