They want the Austin track to be the first F1 track to offer artificial rain
wtf is that about?
Come on Bernie, artificial rain? You crazy?0 -
When are they just gonna stop the crap and make Laguna Seca (or whatever Mazda thing they call it now) the official home of the F1 US GP?
I never liked F1 at Indy. An oval track modified. Doesn't work for me.0 -

I've heard people say it's small for F1 (seating) but the champ cars worked really well there. There just aren't that many good permanent tracks in the US. Watkins Glen is a great track but not sure if it can hold enough people to support an F1 race. I'm interested as to what people think would be a good US race.
Any suggestions?0 -

You would think the folks in vegas would might find a way to bring F1-but maybe vegas it too trashy for bernie.0 -

on a side note, the lap record for Laguna Seca was set by the 2006 Toyota F1 car.

Yeah we think that would be the case when we consider that F1 cars are at the top of class, but some tracks are just not conducive to F1 cars, be it not allowing enough room to get up to speed/flow, allowing proper grip around corners etc etc.
Laguna Seca was thought to be one of those tracks, but the video shows that it's not the case. I like Seca, play it all the time in GT5

Red Buuuuuuull! hahah, but Hamilton was right on the edge of that McLaren, should be a great race start tomorrow.0 -

SPOILER
Aside from Vettel's domination, GREAT RACE. Pirelli needs to get its act together before someone gets hurt.
The soft compound tires are shite. Couldnt help but notice that the seats were almost completely empty for qualifying.0 -
man the audio has been sucky last two races,
Anyway, good race, Heidfeld drove well for that 3rd, a few other good battles, good stuff. Red Bull sucks0 -

And I wonder if Heidfeld used to be a jockey...0 -

lmao! I mean the commentary audio seems too low, I have to turn my tv up to hear them clearly, but it could have something to do with my tv, I'll have to check out my settings again.
I'm not a fan of these Pirelli tires, I also thought it was a bit silly to ask for them to degrade quickly. Why not throw oil over the track before races, that will 'improve the show too'
In any sport, when you need to downgrade materials or whatever to make things more fun, well I find that to be a problem.0 -

Best part is the results are near the same as last year even with the multiple pit stops.0
