Formula 1 2010 Discussion

[^^v]

what technical changes have been done to the cars ?

from the top of my head

- no kers this season..
- no refueling this season so the fuel tanks r much bigger..
- minimum car weight weight has been increased to 620kg (not sure of exact figure)
- Front tires r narrower

apparently ferrari have been really owning at valencia during practise, alonso with fastest time and most laps.

Here are some comparisons:

looks like front wheels are smaller, longer wheelbase, heavier

with the new changes and new teams it looks like its going to be a exciting year and anyones game

[Vvvtec]

If anyone wants some, I'm gonna be selling off large chunks of my private F1 collection guys, I have every race from 1978 orso and most qualifying sessions from the early 90's.

I did that last year, your not missing out on much, the line up is huge and the gp advantage isnt really an advantage if everybody has the advantage. All the garages were closed when i walked past, however the C63 safety did a mad take off from the start line.

Bit hot in Melbourne, best to buy a wandering ticket as the stands are quite far from the track. Who else is going to Melbourne this year? and anyone planning to go to the Singapore race? Might see ya there.

lol hahah - damn misleading gp advantage..
im guessing all those who bought grandstand tickets have 'gp advantage' although i could be wrong..

i ended up with a 4 corners ticket and im on the main straight on sunday..
it is hot i remember going back in 2007 - i walked the track after the sunday race and i got toasted.. had the outline of sunnies on my face for a couple months lol

i wish i could go singapore again this year.. if i could do it again id go to the singapore flyer and get the package instead of in the grandstands..

Vettel for pole and Massa, Alonso and Hamilton to follow respectively. Shumi done pretty well for his first qualy.

[FDBenni]

Should be a good race
Rosberg has outpaced Schumi consistently though so not expecting much from Schumi.
Webber did a bad qualy, will be hard for him to reach the podium
Will be interesting to see how the traffic is like, the new teams are as much as 11 seconds off the pace per lap
Force India is surprisingly doing quite well
Button most likely wont be defending his world champion title
Disappointed in kobayashi's performance, but could be the car
Ferrari look very strong this year

[1900-hustler]

hoping for a good race

least the front runners are back at the front again

bring on the season

anyone else found the race boring?
