AVFCforever1991 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Not at all. Here is an excellent pic detailing the gradient and camber too. It has a bit of everything in it and the drivers reckon it's a hummmmdinger. Looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted November 16, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 16, 2012 What's scandalous is that Eccleston talks about having three races in the USA, if tracks can be built, conveniently ignoring that Watkins Glen and Sonoma are more than serviceable...

Mark8691 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Forgive my ignorance, but when you see drivers being interviewed in the pit lane/whereever, you always see a female at their side in the team colours. Who are they and what job are they doing? Are they just personal assistants or are they there to monitor the questions being asked? Anyway, a better F1 season for the viewer than last years dominance by Vettel. But i fear more of the same next season with Hamilton moving down and less competition for the race wins for Vettel.

Rodders Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Am looking forward to seeing how this first corner plays out - with the grip discrepancy on side of the grid and that camber ( ) could be messy. Vettel so dominant tbf, will deserve the title I suppose [curmurdgeon mode on] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 ferrari broke seal on massa gearbox to give him a 5 grid penalty and move alonso up to 7th and on the better side of the track. Understandable tbh, though apparently red bull toyed with the idea of doing it with webber too to put alonso back on the clean side which would have been a bit amusing I suppose.

BOF Posted November 19, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2012 Red Bull to change to a new type of alternator for the final race of the season. This comes after 3 (or 4?) alternator failures this season. They've been running an old (2005) alternator and a newer one is available and is being used by other Renault teams. Though I'd still say that changing something just for the last race is a risk in itself. Vehh exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 All set up nicely for a final showdown! Hamilton grabbing 1st means it is exciting enough. A 20 point lead would have been enough i suspect for vettel but at 13 i think there is potential for last day drama and brazil is good for that. US circuit was a big success i thought too, which is good for the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
