I haven't played the F1 game yet- does this have the regulation bump on the start/finish straight?

you sound like just another hater with the typical preconceived notions of where and what an F1 race should be. I am no tilke fan usually, but I can be man enough to reserve my judgment until after the race.

It looks to be a track with a lot of potential to even things out between the strong and weak handling cars. Someone with an effective F Duct system should do well there, as the long straights will favor the low downforce cars. I suspect that the cars not using the F Duct will be in very low downforce trim, near to Monza setups.

Then again, until we see cars on track it's hard to say what passing opportunities exist in the sections of the course with a lot of turns.

As for crowds, it's always nice to see packed stands, but overall it doesn't affect the quality of the track or race IMO.

yep. Good points.

I guess the excitement is that we don't know anything until Friday practice. Even the way the world feed chooses to show the track and from what angles adds to my curiosity.

I wonder what they serve for lunch? Bulgogi with Kimchi? I wonder if they still mix barley with rice there. And I just wonder how many pit crew dare to eat live Octopus! :eek:

I'm pretty sure the team cooks are more than well aware of the Brits' unimaginative appetites and are planning to supplement for that when preparing the team lunches. :p

Cooked cow is so much better than raw fish. Actual fact.

Here's a like to the frequently updated blog of Ian Fergusson with a detailed weather forecast for the weekend:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/weather/i...recast-k.shtml

The main predictions (subject to change as he freely admits in the blog!):

Friday: CONFIDENCE HIGH: Sunny spells and dry. Chance of PPN 5%. Max 21C. Becoming breezy. Wind ENE.

Saturday: CONFIDENCE LOW:Bright start but turningcloudier during the day. Noticeably breezy again. On balance likely to remain dry, but low-moderate potential for outbreaks of rain to arrive later in day, turning heavy at times overnight. Chance of PPN 40%. Max 20C. Wind brisk ENE.

Sunday: CONFIDENCE LOW: Mostly cloudy. Potential for further outbreaks of rain through the morning albeit some models persist with an entirely dry outlook, only bringing rain later into the evening. Middle ground approach: overnight rain from Saturday clearing during AM? Chance of PPN 50%. Max 21C. Breezy. Wind brisk ENE.

Actually, these guys eat the live Octopus for STAMINA. As for cooked cow being better than raw fish, it's all a matter of taste.

Speaking of Paul the Octopus, it's time to start laying some Sig bets down.
