  2. I caught the end of FP1. They tested the auto speed limiter at the end which worked but wasn't the best viewing thing I've ever seen. It also didn't matter where on the track you were you just pottered around. I thought it was going to be like the slow zone in WEC.

    i've just watched the team principal press conference, very interesting insight into the financial split between top and bottom teams causing much disagreement, the guy who runs lotus is a very clever chap - gerard lopez? seemed to tie toto/eric up well.

    Even though Lotus have said they are not boycotting the race I wonder if they plan on doing what happened at the Indianapolis race in 2005. Do a formation lap & then peel off into the pits because of a "technical" problem, if Sauber, Lotus & Force India did that it would certainly make F1 look bad (again) in the USA. It would leave only 12 cars to start the race & one of them from pit lane.

    Won't play down here, Rupert likes people to pay for content. :lol:
    I read that earlier though, looks like Bernie is going to get his 3 car teams. I'd rather see the back markers running a car from the year before supplied by the big teams instead of the big 3 or 4 blocking out the top spots on the grid & the podium.

    the video also shows the promoter for the us grand prix moaning on camera about the lack of entertainment from the cars, stating that red bull drove an old engined very noisy one round the streets - which helped sell tickets then brought these quiet ones to the race..... also compalining that road car ferraris are noisier than f1 cars.... bernie says it will be sorted for 2015.

    Just been following the qualifying from Shanghai for the 6Hour WEC race tomorrow & I hate to say it but it was more interesting than F1 quali has been lately.

    Never really in any doubt, well done to Bottas & Massa for locking out the second row.
