Ground effects
My question: Is it possible for wing development to be limited in favour of ground effects? Can ground effects replace the downforce lost from less complex wings? Would it be cheaper?

Re: Favorite flat out, full throttle section?
Stavelot to Bus Stop. If you have the car, you can go flat out through the second Stavelot which takes you close to the barrier, and then of course you had through Blanchimont.

Re: But really, How good is Vettel?
I said roughly on the same level, but I personally think he's slightly lower than both. Of course he is still very young, so i think with a couple more years of experience he will be much better.

Since 2011. I watched a little bit of F1 during the Schumacher domination days, but was never interested in it. Then one day F1 crossed my mind and I watched the Malaysian Grand Prix. I kept watching but the races seemed pretty boring until Canada 2011 won me over.

Re: Grand finales: 2010 vs 2012
The safety car in Abu Dhabi 2010 caused Rosberg, Petrov, etc, to pit very early for primes. It turned out to be a quick enough tire for them to have the gap to Alonso small enough to pass him when he pitted. In hindsight, if Ferrari didn't react after Webber pitted, Alonso could (I speculate) have o...
