Re: How did You find the (possibly last) Indian Grand Prix?
aren't we mixing up the race and the track here? I mean last year race in Valencia was pretty interesting. would I miss the track - big, big no. and here. it wasn't even a great race. Good one, but not great. Did I as a viewer enjoy watching dreadful grey picture through the smog haze? No, never did...

Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread
Boudica, carlysronnin, agree with you both - his stop was way too late for normal 2-stop strategy and not even close to be enough for 1-stop one. When I saw him being just 2 seconds in front of Alonso after the pitstop I was gutted. Alonso... who had really bad start, broken front wing and spent lon...

Re: Why are Lotus and McLaren taking so long?
wouldn't be surprised if in case of Lotus it is actually change of ownership, rather than just sponsorship/partnership deal. If Quintum replaces Genii completely more shake up in a team is possible and that would be the reason for not making any final contracts
