I agree and disagree...

F1 always has been involved strategy, not only these couple seasons, but way back to like 1997 when refueling was allowed.

There were so many time, almost every race, we complain about passing can only occurred during a pit stop, the smartest person was Ross Brawn because he always know when to pit and how much fuel to put in, one of the best race strategist during that era.


Although it is boring, but it's also part of the race.

You don't just drive fast but also have to drive smart.

pros and cons... it's up to our interest.

Great BBC link on Alonso vs Kimi this year!

BBC Sport - Are Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen a Ferrari dream team?

I don't see Kimi besting Alonso at all.

Second free practice results - 2014 Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix


Vettel completed the FP2 as 4th fastest with 41 laps.

The most laps among all the drivers.

Red Bull, as always, always has an answer.

Looking forward to FP3 and qualify.

Yes I understand that aspect. But if I want endurance racing Im not that far to LeMans!
Now the focus is on fuel too much and less than full throttle F1 racing. If they cannot then it is endurance. F1 is a sprint race in the world of racing. WE have enough issues with passing etc. Now they might just save fuel rather than race. No...no thanks.

I wonder, while F1 is always talking about cost cutting, but how much money they have put in for the new engine?

Found this today (my first taste of the new F1 cars/sound). So sad.
