It was an average race, but one of the more memorable of a dreary season. By the way, whingeing sits in pitch between whining and moaning. |

For the crime of allowing another car to crash into him the cosmic court of intergalactic justice says it will ban Vettel and all red coloured Italian racing cars from all televised sporting activities for the next 17 years

I think the big mistake of increasing the aero has meant even less exciting races. The sooner we get better rules in place the better. Come on Mr Brawn

If close racing in IndyCar is manufactured, that's down to the aero configuration. The original DW-12 was a ground effect car, with the majority of the downforce created by the car's undertray, which produces less of a wake and lets the cars run closer. With the introduction of aero-kits, more downforce was produced from the upper surface of the car, producing more wake, something a number of drivers complained about. However, a significant amount of downforce was still produced by the undertray. Next season, it will be a pure ground effect aero-kit, which will let the cars run much closer. If F1 were to address the issues surrounding downforce, F1 would also have closer racing. |

I don't know whether this is true, but it seems that two teams are having the same policy on the matter. Magnussen receives a lot of banter, but let's be honest. How many crashes has he actually caused? He drives hard yes, and the double change of direction towards Alonso was too much. But he takes it to the limit, but rarely so far that an actual crash happens. Unlike a lot of other drivers in the current grid. |

Only 40 years for me. F1 aero is beyond ridiculous. A monumental waste of time and money from the first slot on the front wing to the ridiculous DRS. The cars are covered in a bizarre array of turd polishing devices. How did the coat hanger tv aerial come about?

More likely they are fighting against YouTube selling advertising space on footage likely taken from somebody's DVR as a breach of copyright and displayed for the masses as their own work.

In their own way, NASCAR and BoPing is the same bs to "even" the playing field. I don't want to see the "playing field" (I've raced many things and never considered it "playing" anything...) "evened". I want to see the best design and race the best, otherwise I'd just follow those series. Prior to wings and ground effects, the racing was no closer (so much for your aero reason) and that's fine with me. We're watching the best ply their trades.....whoever comes out on top deserves it. |
