Anyone aware of any changes to the track?

[myownalias]

I can't wait for this one to see if Red Bull still have their magical speed after the changes they have made to the front wing and floor due to the new tests.

Yes, that will be telling.

And the engine(s)? You reckon Webber will get a replacement?

[nish2280]

I will be watching the race from turn 3 so look out for me!

And all you Ferrari and Mclaren fans. 10 quid for each bottle, can, stone to be thrown at rival drivers.

(except red bull)

Redbull will be strong again

You only throw Red Bull cans at them?

Yes actually i could, but what i was trying to say (which may not have come through due to well...typing) is that i will throw items at all drivers except for those who race with RedBull cars.

There's a rumor going around that Heidfeld could very possibly drive for Sauber from this race onwards...

I don't think any team will use a brand new engine on this track. As for the Red Bull's supposed need to make changes to their bodywork, i am not at all convinced they've actually had to do anything, or at least much at all - i think the 'lack' of flexing seen in Spa and Monza was due to the lower downforce levels being run.

Well that sucks...I was going to suggest Webber as soon as I read your first couple of lines.

Don't get me wrong. Webber's my 2nd favourite choice but as long as Lewis' got a chance, I'm sticking my guns all the way.

On Heidfeld... he can very well struggle with the hard compounds like he did before and several are this yr. He wouldnt have Kubica next to him making matters worse, but he could get some damage done with wonder-Ninja Kobayashi-san

The Red Bull wing... just like you said. Spa and Monza both had very low levels of d/f... no need for the wacky-nose. We'll see in singapore how much it has changed. I'm sure its changed a bit because of the new tests. But the concept still has to be there, so i expect it to keep moving. How much margin they (RB) will have, i think will be down to how much the others improved.

In theory, it should be Red Bull/Ferrari then Mclaren.

Also, i think the whole night race scenario will be great for the anticipation of this race. This just might be THE most important race of the championship fight.

I posted the news on the first page of this very topic, by the way.

And hopefully some stellar battles for the lead and those all important 25points.

Damn, im getting excited just thinking about it. 2 bloody weeks.

hopefully Lewis and jenson can do well, the thing is, why are mclaren set to struggle so much this year when the car is pretty similar, or is that because of a solid red bull and ferrari? because lewis did take pole and win in 09

So you did!

Partly because of Red Bull and Ferrari. I disagree that this year's McLaren has similar characteristics to the '09 car though. The reasons i think they may struggle (which i must stress is a relative term) i posted at the bottom of the previous page in this thread.
