    Not really excited for this race... :( Can DRS help it?

    Forza anyone but Vettel :eek:

    Thanks for the thread! Should be a good start. The FIA have extended 1 of the DRS zones. Lets hope this helps to prevent another Vettel runaway. Im not so sure as is Jensen Button.

    Good morning/afternoon/evening usual suspects.

    Predicted 13 wins for Vettel at the start of the year, he's on target to make it happen.

    Here's hoping Web or the Wokings give him grief if Fred can't.

    Yes I posted a link from Autosport last night that they are doing this to help the lack of overtaking at Yas. JB has been vocal all weekend so far that even with the long straights DRS is not enough.

    The corners leading to them are 1st gear and if the gent in front applies throttle just before you do its game over for a pass. He has been experimenting with it and no go. Seems the FIA have listened to JB and his concerns. Among others I would imagine!

    Just set an alarm watch the start, and awake 10 laps before the end :)

    Good morning all. I am still dreaming of a second Ferrari win this year. Yes I know, but I did say dreaming. :)

    In any case Seb will, most likely, have a big enough cushion to render DRS a nonissue. Again.

    Good afternoon everybody.

    My prediction for the win: A car with 4 wheels, driven by a man.

    LH gives family and good relationships a lot of praise in terms of Button and his results this year.

    Sorry for the early morning brain fart on my end but can you point me to the details and what it means to us in the US.
