Anyone catch the race last night? I missed it, saw on this mornings news that the little s!@# won again, and Mark had a good fight with Alonso

DRS was a bit stupid though....

Sounds like turn 11 (right hander up hill leading onto the main back straight) though turn 8 as zoidberg mentions is another significant turn on the F1 calendarLucy wrote:Sound like it was one worth watching! Sham I missed it, but I did get a bit of qualifying the night before. This track is mind blowing, I think it's turn 8? right hander where they hold the throttle wide open @ 300+ what kick that must be!!!

Good call, they get an awesome toe out of that one up the hill. Bit of help from DRS this time round though

I think it is great. A race where a driver can be complacent that he/she isn't going to get passed by the car behind them is a boring race. The combination of the quick wearing tyres and the resulting varying pit stop strategies and the DRS has livened this series up thankfully.Lucy wrote:zoidberg99 wrote:smythie wrote:Sounds like turn 11 (right hander up hill leading onto the main back straight) though turn 8 as zoidberg mentions is another significant turn on the F1 calendar

Yeah for sure!
How do you guys sit with DRS? I'm on the fence, great racing no doubt about it, but is it a little unfare to the driver in front that's pushed hard all race at the front and then get pipped at the line due to mechanical disadvantage and not driver error. I don't know that it's happened yet, but surely only a matter of time. I didn't see the move Webber put on Alonso, was it DRS?
