Spanish GP *spoilers*
Posted by Nickv
Pfft, tehy REALLY need to get rid of that silly hairpin and chicane in sector 3, it does nothing for overtaking, and eliminates two of the best corners of the track.
xaxa. well, wait till 12:00 . then there will be somtehing to talk about 
P.S. my prediction for the three most improved teams after this race is:
1) mercedes
2) mclaren
3) lotus
Watch out for the saubers, ferraris, especially WILLIAMS as well.
see you in the forums guys. i go back to work. have anice day

Ok..... that was really poor PASTA. Sir Frank please wheel yourself down to Force India and beg the HULK to come back.
Well....actually he put all 4 in the gravel. It was yet another level of lameness. I hadn't seen anything as silly since Yuji Ide.
hi Jim, can you explain how he exactly did it ? I alos missed it 
I wish could explain! He wasn't even going particularly fast, he just slid wide at the corners before the silly chincane and went off, admitted it was basically his fault as well.
Hmmm can't make too much of the fp1 times, I think the only car without a major upgrade here is STR, (and probably HRT too :P ).
It'd be a safe bet to suggest that RBR will be setting the pace though, could yet be a nice little squable between McLaren, Ferrari and Merc though.

Pastor MaldonaaaaDO'H! Off yet again.
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it
There's going to be some interesting deliberations going on in the teams, as Charlie Whiting has opened a can of worms by saying that teams using the exhaust over-run systems could be open to protest.
It seems that Williams, Virgin and HRT are the only ones not to use the system. All three of them are desperate, and a bucket of points could be worth millions for them, particularly for Virgin and HRT in the battle for 10th place in the WCC.

It's the yearly thing.... ban something that was really quite clever. It's not all bad really because by next year there will be the next cheap trick system for teams to exploit and then see banned.
Double deck diffusers, F-Duct etc
Plus Williams have been using a blown diffuser, sure not one as sophisticated as RBR or Renault, but they're hoping to run their updated version here which didn't make the grade in China.
Lotus are bringing one in here as well... so if it were banned from here it would have been a total waste of money for these teams who can ill afford to waste it.

So Hispania aren't beating Lotus and Virgin? ZOMG.
Well KAREN is topping the pit-lane speed trap.
Karen? That's worse than Jamie. AAAGH!! :P

Lol. It's a nick name tRL presented him with back in 2005 when he drove for Jordan. He was twinned with "TAREN" (Tiago Monterio).
Morbid, agreed, the FIA can ban pretty much anything they like, but I have a feeling FOTA will get their way until the end of the season, but it's all good because the engineers can come up with the next clever fashionable trick system to increase downforce or reduce drag Next year
Incidentally, will we be seeing you at Le Mans this year Morbid?

The blown diffuser hasn't been banned, it is the constant blowing gases through the exhaust not controlled by the throttle pedal.
Cosworth haven't got the money to develop the complex engine mapping that Renault and others have, which is why Williams, Virgin and HRT haven't got this system yet.
