But it seems that the tires are going to be the big story this year. They are designed to not last incredibly long and with more stops strategy will be interesting.

Who watches the races live or does everybody "respect the pause" and DVR them?

what does everyone think about bernie's idea of "making it rain" or wetting down the track for the last 10 laps or whatever to make the racing more interesting?

I think that the tires are going to make things interesting. The best races last year were the ones where the tires went off really fast. Maybe add back some of the strategy lost with refueling.

I usually download/pirate the BBC coverage Sunday morning and watch with friends and beer in the afternoon. No comparison to the Speed broadcast.

The rain thing is retarded... I actually like the option of cutting a chicane x times a race more than the rain idea.
