Will the new Valencia street track put a new twist on the championship? F1 and street tracks tend to result in mayhem don't they?



Ferrari are on the back foot. McLaren are champing at the bit. BMW are hot and cold. RedBull and Toyota keep lingering on the verge...of something.

Gentlemen, Start Your Opinions.

Not to be rude, but shall we keep this ontopic?

I hope BMW can pick up the pace again, they are not doing well. And I hope ferrari this time don't messes up, but accident do easily happen on this kind of tracks. As long as everyone should mind the trafficlights, it can be a nice race.

It's not a bump, it's a step. A bump is gradual to some degree, and this isn't.

I'm just astonished that they (Bridgestone & the FIA) left it until the day before opening practice to spot these potential issues...

maybe they look for avoid problems like JPM's tyre puncture in China when he stepped on a lid of culvert which was lifted... but 1.5cm is not too much... or why not made a little bump in asphalt just before the junction ??

Looking forward to this weekend. Should be interesting, exciting and anything can happen

Hopefully Kimi can get his quali sorted and get a good result here. Wud like to see a surprise too and maybe someone from the midfield pack on the podium - maybe a renault,redbull or toro rosso

Anyone see that champcar race at ermm somewhere ( i cant remember where ) with the tramlikes through the track, then the attempts at making it smoother? lol! the cars were litterally flying :p

i heard the difference for this gap in height was 3mm, that picure makes it look alot more!

edit - obviously the 3mm is wrong after reading its 15 in places ;)!

Has the practice session started yet? I thought it start now, but the ITV video refuses to load and the F1 live timing keeps moaning that "first timed session is friday practice 1"

I got up from a deep sleep to watch this, I won't be happy if I can't do that :/
