A lap now in the Mclaren simulator. That 1.2 km straight is long enough to negate any advantage faster traction cars may enjoy, should be interesting:

looks nice. I also note that its Jensons car in the sim, so clearly McLaren are favouring him over Lewsi. Daft racists ;)
also that the track advertsiing seems to be McLaren sponsors, I imagine thats only for the sim, not the real stuff, but nice touches by teh sim boys to bother with Boss and Vodafone ads all over their own track sim
Two DRS zones confirmed: almost the entire length of the pit straight and about half of the long back straight. There's a map here (PDF):

Would make for a great caption. :p
I'm really getting excited for this new track
lets hope the weather is bright and sunny
8 more hours to FP1
this picture just reminds me that the BBC coverage of f1 next year will be drastically different with draconian reductions in emphasisQuote:

The BBC is not run by conservative neocons. However, the current British government could be described as a watered-down version of same, and it's largely their fault that the BBC is being decimated. Make no mistake, it's ideologically driven.Quote:
