    I have a gut feeling that Lewis has this one in the bag.
    I hope i'm wrong just so toil and krafty have something to complain about :)

    My thoughts :) lol!! :) Should be a fun race and LH does seem to have the circuit sorted. That stated it appears the technical aspect does catch all drivers at some point. Rear tire wear is an issue overall. How bad for some is yet to be seen.

    Think the SC will play a role particularly with a wall track. Best to Jules, looks as though Rossi may start at COTA.

    SKY reporting that FA is rumored to be contacting Williams and Lotus!

    Teams reporting blistering on the fronts. 1 stop is optimum.

    pit speed reduced for race, they are expecting one stop race.

    However, I'm certain the usual suspects will continue to tell us how its all crap, the racing is crap, the track is crap, the cars are crap, Bernie's crap, Charlie's crap and the whole thing is a waste of time. :(

    Watching Brundles piece on the accident right now - Talking much sense.

    Forza Jules

    That entrance looks really sketchy to me - Any red mist and I can see it getting blocked..... That could liven things up.....

    It'll still be crap though. ;)

    The track might look dull but the pit girls don't...

    Brundle piece was simply superb explanation of the issues facing F1 post Suzuka. Speaking from the heart nicely he does!

    Nico acted like a spoiled little school kid yesterday at interview. The eye rolling whenever Lewis was mentioned was not professional. Start should be good as Riccardo said 4 wide on gp race.

    Looks remarkably well engineered considering Russian reputation.

    Good afternoon everybody!

    Ian, tomorrow I'll be showing a new colleague how to operate our engine test bed. I'll record some warm up data for our recent turbocharger discussion ;)

    IIRC a lot of European construction companies were involved in the Olympic games in Sotchi, may be the same here... I suppose the track was planned by Tilke anyway?

    What? When was that? All I've heard him say is that the gap was big all weekend and he was trying his best to close it but couldn't. Sounds quite reasonable to me.

    Correct. Alot of non Russian technical support to the Tilke design. Hope to hear your turbo discussion data with Ian as well! :) Happy Herbst :)
