And lessen the chances that the fuel rig hose gets stuck in the car. I think the weight loss as the race progresses will make it very cool. Two different handling cars entirely with how much fuel they'll be carrying at the beginning compared to the end. Slightly skinnier front tires too for some reason. |

Skinny tires will be a good change. I've always thought F1 would be far more interesting if they'd use a spec tire with about a 185 section width, and no other rules. You want to run 1200hp? Go for it, but you've still got skinny-ass tires. 40,000 pounds of downforce? See how those little tires handle the heat. Yeah, I know, it's called Formula Vee |

Since we are talking F1, my buddy and I were having this conversation today. NASCAR vs. F1. How many F1 fans like NASCAR. I lost the SPEED channel, and dont follow racing much, but if I catch it I will watch it. F1 rocks! I just dont get an oval track with nothing but left turns. I know some of you are gonna freak, especially me being of southern roots and all, but I just dont get all left turns. Its like the TORC races vs. CORR. The first CORR race I saw, I loved it. The race was like F1 in the dirt, with trucks and jumps. Then I saw TORC, and it was hard dirt, jumps, and left turns. I guess I just can get really into the oval track concept. Dont get me wrong, I will watch it. Its fast, loud, and has horsepower, so it cant be too bad. Just wondered if there is an F1 and NASCAR rivalry? |

Rosberg and Heidfeld? Really? I guess Kaz Nakajima wasn't available. |

FIA must announce Briatore ban lift The FIA has been ordered to tell the public and teams that the bans from motor sport imposed on Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds for their part in Formula 1's race-fix scandal have been lifted. A French court ruled on Tuesday that the decision to ban the two Renault men had been "irregular" and overturned the FIA's decision, meaning both Briatore and Symonds can now return to work in Formula 1. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80744 |
