there was some talk a few years back about a dedicated overtaking lane
fia need to give it a try they need to do something to help in overtaking
Indeed :DQuote:

No thanks, that isn't racing anymore.Quote:

My proposal would be more simple than that and would not require unanimous agreement. It is for Bridgestone to bring tyres which are closer together in performance, rather than two steps apart as at present. This was done last season and it improved things, but now they have gone back to bringing super soft and medium to the first race. Because the soft is so much faster, around 6/10ths and degrades more quickly, it will always be the qualifying tyre, which then leads to an early first pit stop for the medium, which is the better race tyre.
With tyres that are closer together, the performance difference is less and so are the wear rates and it is more attractive to try a different tactic. I’ve asked quite a few engineers tonight and they agree that it would be a step in the right direction without disadvantaging anyone.
Overtaking lanes :laugh:
I must say that I was a little disappointed by today's race. It just didn't have the air of excitement I was looking forward to.
I was a bit disappointed that Michael Schumacher didn't do a bit better, but he is showing signs of improvement, so that's okay I suppose. I was a bit disappointed with the McLaren, but Lewis Hamilton seemed to make the best of it. I was also disappointed with Jenson Button's performance. I hope there are some improvements there very soon. I was also disappointed in my third choice for a win (Sebastian Vettel) when his car played up.
Well done to Fernando Alonso for his win. He's not my favourite driver, but he's damned good, so all credit to him. Good to see Felipe Massa doing well too after last year's accident.

By 20100? Is that not a wee bit too long laddie! :DQuote:

I do dislike the having to use the same tyres to start the race as in qualifying - let the drivers just GO!
yes I am old enough to remember those races and said the refueling ban was ludicrous when it was first announced. I can;t recall a race in recent memory that was as dull as this race was. yeah,sector 2 is not ideal, but honestly if cars were lighter and faster, you would have seen some overtaking here. What we got will not be acceptable for the next 8 monthsQuote:
