Track has some good corners but all the drivers are saying it'll be hard to pass, and on top of that it's gonna be a samey one stopper. Not hoping for much.

Tyres should have been hard/soft, not hard/medium. Oh well. I guess if they brought the softs and they were going off after five laps, everyone would be complaining, so I certainly don't envy Pirelli's situation when faced with a new, unknown circuit.

Why does that suck? I think it's great.

Don't you like drama... excitement... the battle ??

Oh, battle is always there.

I had enough drama in Abu-Dhabi.

It's weird waking up on Saturday, having breakfast and not watching qualifying. :confused:

We have to wait until the evening... the trouble is that it is conflicting with SWMBO TV Time, so will have to watch it when all the poo TV has finished.

A racing car that does not win, is just art

It could always be worse, if it was out in Cali, you'd be watching it Monday while having lunch.

Seems I'm part of a very small minority that thinks Nando has an excellent chance of winning

Oh dont get me wrong. I've ben talking about pole. The race is another thing, and yes, Fernando has a good chance to win it. Mostly because of the straights.

Came out fighting indeed.

I was working all day, so didn't catch anything. Thoughts on the circuit? Good race on the cards?

Not really seen too much yet. I watched the practice summary on the BBC website earlier and I have to say (based on the limited footage) the track looks unimpressive, unremarkable and pretty boring.

I'll pass final judgement after the race. :judge:
