one thing I can't understand is why is the rear moving wing only on one part of the track, surely if it could be used on all parts of the track could get more passing? Still keeping with the 1 second rule etc


I think it's work in progress. They always said that they would look at how it worked then modify the rules. As it didn't really work, I'd expect the rules to be different for the next race.

I am not sure the rules need to change, but the position on the track. It should have been on the back straight not the start finish. As Wil said the FIA have been quite open in saying that they will change the rules as they see how it works.

I think it should be used at any time in the race. Same principle as the 'F' duct from last year.

What the DRS rules should be is that you can use it for a certain amount of time either a time for the whole race or per lap. Still keeping the 1sec behind and no defending malarky.

Ben has a point like X seconds per lap, like the KERS

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Good practice today. Mclaren are looking good to me, quite surprising. I don't think that Red Bull, or Vettel, have shown their whole potential yet though.

It was much closer than most were predicting. It looks like the Mclaren is set well for the next few races. Its all about tyres tomorrow though.

Mclaren was abit of a shocker how close they are. Brought a new difuser, but ended up using their makeshift titanium one!

It'll take more than a storm to get schumacher to the front again, his time has passed now.
I think he realises it now.

Great race, but, FFS they moan of no overtaking, then they say too much overtaking. Some are never happy

I seriously doubt it!

It was a good race, vettel never looked like he wasnt going to win. But there was more than enough actoin behind him.

Alonso/Hamilton was just a racing incident in my book, must of missed the part where Hamilton got his penalty for moving twice. Abit harsh on both counts. Loved the start, lots of action. Great result for Button & Heidfeld :)
Missed views on the DRS, I personally think they should use it anytime they wish.......not much different to the 'F' duct in principle.
