I don't mind this system, but i didn't mind the two session system either, as far as i can see its basically the same as last year which worked fine. From what i understood, you can adjust the set-up if the conditions change from like wet to dry or vice versa, but apart from that, nothing.
As alonso said, in the end, it doesn't really matter as long as its an even playing field.

Honda’s engine concerns for Nurburgring
Racing Imola engines could pose a problem

BAR Honda get back to work at Nurburgring
When BAR Honda were stripped of their points paying positions at the San Marino Grand Prix and forced to miss the Spanish and Monaco Grand Prix, the team looked forward to Nurburgring and the latest engines from Honda to try and make a big impact on their return to the sport.
The team are however to use the same V10 Honda powerplants that were used at the San Marino Grand Prix as the rules state that engines must be used for two consecutive races. BAR Honda believe that they are entitled to fresh Honda engines as they did not race in either of the last two events, while the FIA take the stance that it is in fact two consecutive races for the team.
As it stands, BAR Honda will practice, qualify and race with the same engines that powered them to the points back at Imola. Honda has concerns that after five weeks sitting in storage, the engines will be compromised and perhaps not as reliable as an engine juts a week or two old.

imo they should just put in the new engine...
so be it if they go down 10 spots.. better than risking blown engines half way thru the race..

Just have to see I think...
go kimi !!!!! ha ha
I concur
yea well take down lud02c and jacko
Making them use the same engines is hardly fair. Give 'em a break, they've done their time. Should be able to come out a fresh. That's my biased opinion anyway. ;)
Anyone else think that picture of Schumy looks like a kid in a Ferrari jacket with Michael's head photochopped onto it?
Great news for Webber and Heidfeld... the BMW-Williams seems to have the speed in Germany!! They're quicker than the Ferrari and up with the McLarens in first practice. The BARs stayed in the shed.
Just fired up the Live Timing and WHAT??!!? Registration for live timing!?! But luckily no charge, just free registration.
No way I think they should have to pay a 14,000 Australian Dollar fine as well.Quote:
