  1. i find it sad that the only reason for ecclestone to go to arab countries is the money.
    all his reasons are not based on making the F1 cheaper and safer, its just all commercial value. Sad to see brazil go and now have to finisch the season in a sandbox with white dresses and a few camels. Anyway looking forward to next season and the fun tracks that are left.

    GO VETTEL!!!!!
  2. one more good thing is that BBC will broadcast again.......finaly i dont have to watch the dutch RTL7 with all there shitty commercials. (sorry OLAF)

    Totally agree - the last 4 races of 2009 are in a ridiculous order especially - they would be better off going to Abu Dhabi before they go to Singapore.

    I understand why the European races are in the middle and why it probably wouldn't be a good idea to put 2 races like Abu Dhabi and Bahrain close together, and also why Australia is pretty much limited to a March date - but they could do 1 or 2 changes which would save a little on costs.

    That rear wing is going to take some getting used to. Looks like it should be on a smaller car.

    Frontwings look very conventional again like they used years ago, before the sharknoses came up.
    But that rear wing looks really strange, exactly like Paul M. said, put it on a smaller car and it will fit..

    yup rear wing is a weird one but that aside when you see these with full slicks on again they look great!

  3. For now the look is very strange, but I'm sure that a few races into the season we won't even remember the 2008 look!

    It does look like a throwback from the past. Look at this Williams... Look familiar?

    It won't be long before some team starts complaining there is not enough room on the wing for thier sponsors logo:laugh2:

    Its funny that you mentioned that, as it was one reason why the FIA wanted bigger wings a few years back.
