You know... with the way this season started out I sure didn't expect it to be as entertaining of a season as it has been. I still think they need to bring softer tires than they are though.

I do believe Brawn has already said he'll be back next year. Schuey may be a polarizing driver, but 7 championships is no fluke.

I agree 100% They need to be sliding around and fighting the tires. If you push too hard and pull away you will wear them out quicker and get run down. It would make the racing so much better.

i agree about the tires....we're seeing the drivers run a full race with only one change (mostly due to regulation)...they're running 50+ laps on a single set of tires...no fun haha.

m4a1mustang · 10-19-2010, 10:55 AM

Yep. Tires are the answer to good racing. If you run a tire that degrades after 15 laps or so the drivers really have to fight to manage them and you'll see some pretty awesome racing. We saw it in Montreal where the tires weren't lasting much beyond that many laps. It was awesome.

Which race was it that Vettel went into the pit for his first tire change one lap before the end of the race.. That made me lol

m4a1mustang · 10-19-2010, 06:38 PM

Monza I believe. Finished P4

That video wasn't nearly as exciting as I expected.

Talk about a Red Bull curse

antman22 · 10-24-2010, 01:01 PM

That race was a hot mess. Not exactly the inaugural race Korea was hoping for lol.

Who designed that pit entrance? Talk about a suicide missing when you plan to pit....

The pit entrance needs to be changed, it's insane!

import111 · 10-24-2010, 03:14 PM

I thought it was an exciting race. Rain always adds some craziness. I don't think Red Bull wants to win, lol.

Waiz · 10-24-2010, 06:00 PM

Wow, that was a really poorly designed track, the pit entrance, blind corners, and the poor irrigation really made the race dangerous. I think they should have just postponed the race or cancelled it all together.

At least Schumi had a good outing but I prefer to see a more competitive race with everyone still in the running at the end. The crashes were pretty spectacular though.
