Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
I like "all those silly aero protrusions". It gives each car character. I'm glad they can't pass easily, because then it'd be a little too much like NASCAR (yuck). That 4 mirror setup is quite uniqe. Would they allow that in a actual race? I'm guessing one pair is for the tires (a la Schumi) and the other for traffic, but just a guess.

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
Just saw this on motorsport.com " Traction control banned from 2008By Nikki Reynolds - Motorsport.com After a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) last week the FIA has ruled that traction control will banned from 2008. Traction control has always been a bit of an arguing point and it returned to the sport in 2001 after years of speculation that some teams were managing to find ways round the previous ban. Because it wasn't really possible to know whether teams were actually running illegal systems or not -- although accusations of 'strange misfire noises' were rife -- it was agreed to reintroduce traction control. With the FIA's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in 2008 it will be easier for the governing body to ban traction control effectively. "No car may be equipped with a system or device which is capable of preventing the driven wheels from spinning under power or of compensating for excessive throttle demand by the driver," states the amended section of the technical regulations. "Any device or system which notifies the driver of the onset of wheel spin is not permitted." While the fans may appreciate the cars not coughing around like super-charged tractors, they probably won't appreciate the WMSC's decision to continue using grooved tyres next year. It was previously proposed that slicks would return, along with a reduction in downforce, but the Council has decided against that idea. "

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
Well, it'll be interesting to see how those ECU's work next year. I don't like the idea of reducing the downforce...curious to see how that one pans out. BTW, I'm in Malaysia right now, visiting the wifey's family and going to see the Malaysian GP.

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
Taku and Super Best Friends get their first point, one more than the factory team has 
and Lewis is in the points lead, for now at least

Kimi needs to get with it or I'll be only half right The biggest shame about his electrical failure was not the points loss, but it would have been so wonderful for Alonso to not get on the podium at his home GP

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
Ferrari is running a new shade of red this weekend. Not sure if it's one time or not, but hope to see it at Indy. It's kinda hard to tell in these pics how different it is. It looks less like the orangy marlboro red and seems metallic in some pics.

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
I like Taku's new ride. It's probably faster than the Earth Honda's too.

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
Thankful to see Kubica is fine. He is a very lucky man.

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!

As usual: GO KIMI

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
Oh yeah, and congrats to Mr. Sato for his pass on Alonso, and scoring more points. I know that Alonso's car had to be damaged from the off's he had, but a pass is a pass.
I guess the FIA has sidelined Kubica for the USGP. F1 live on Speed had Timo Glok on, and thought he said he would be the replacement driver for Kubica, but F1live.com has reported Vettel as the replacement. Anyone know anything more definate on this?

Re: FORMULA 1 THIS WEEKEND!!
It is Vettel. Saw him in the practice line-up.
