I hope for a more action packed race without the DRS.

Erik Tveit · Apr 7, 2011

Without DRS, what you mean?

Well I hope for some kind of fail with the DRS that will make it look like the worst idea FIA have ever thought of and at the same time we would see closer battles in the slower parts of the track.

Erik Tveit · Apr 7, 2011

I think DRS works well tho.

This ^^

Melbourne isn't a good track to judge the system, Sepang with its long straights will be a far better judgement of how it works.

Thue but what if a car flying off like Webber did in Valencia. TBH I am a big DRS hater, I want overtaking to be done in a heroec way not artificial.

But, in the last years you get like no overtakes without help. BTW, I thought you were doing STC mate. :tongue:

I was but waited for Steve to give me some setup adivde.

Anyhow, it is true but if you want more overtaking then find a way so that the slower teams can improve and close the gap to Red Bull so that there is a very little gap between Pole and last place driver. (Easier said then done but hey what can you expect from F1 if they allow team orders, that is also something that will give less overtaking too.)

Thanks. I didn't have it set up to catch Australia live, didn't know if they streamed Practice. 4 hours to go

.

Rob Butler · Apr 7, 2011

Not on "I player" as such but if you go to the sports page, then you'll see the link to watch it. Also it's on via the red button.

Mulder it's on bbc.co.uk for those inside the UK however.

AgentMulder · Apr 7, 2011

Correction: For those in the UK or those in the US who fiddle with proxy settings... Not that I would know anything about that...

Rob Butler · Apr 8, 2011

Sorry, somehow I must've missed the second page of this thread and ended up copying what was said by James. Mulder, when there is a will, someone will always have a way!
