Do those tires even get balanced? I realize that at 200+ MPH they need to be balanced, but how would the weights stay on?

More wide tire info from Mercedes




Talks about walls and says "drivers are going to have to be very careful with the placement of the car otherwise we'll be wiping these straight off. which I'm sure some of you will enjoy"

Saw that. I expect drivers won't have a problem and I wonder if all this new stuff will work to actually, really do what they hope it will.

I just read some people in F1 think Kevin Magnussen is a slacker that dident do his job at Mclaren or Renault, and have no idea why he is at Hass now when he should be out on his ass.

I am looking forward to the circus get going again, but i am probably going to loos interest in it quickly as i find it hard to believe what F1 have become and what it use to be.

McLaren's new ride:



Which looks pretty goddamn good. Hopefully Honda figured out how to get their engine to actually "work".

It'll be interesting to see how long that lasts, or, conversely, how long until the other teams adopt it. Definitely there to aid in calming the air entering the rear wing.

It could move or flex more than the FIA wants and ban action. Or they could say safety reasons, or Bernie could just not like it. I dunno, we'll see!

It sure does look good but doesn't sound like it's going well. Issues with the car and Alonso is frustrated.

They had the T wang on during practice 1. I failed to watch practice 2. It's probably on right now.
