But there's also now staff limits. That summer break isn't going anywhere, and if the number of races increases, that's only going to lead to more breaks.

I'm terribly disappointed NJ couldn't make it happen. There's no question the top half of the track was going to be a real issue for them. It's literally a residential neighborhood. "Oh don't mind us. We're just going to armco you into your house for the next three days". I have no idea how that could ever be made to work.
Sorry, I meant increases from the old standard of 16. 21 races, no three week gaps, one month-long summer break. That's what I want, that's what they've delivered.

Kimi at Ferrari would be fun to watch. Alonso would be a ticking time bomb if Kimi starts beating him regularly.

All the money probably goes directly to Kimi.

Sexy.
Random note, but how dumb is F1.com? It's been over 5 years, if not closer to a decade, that the sight has had live timing and a results database, but the damn main page still shows local times. Who the hell needs to see the local race times? I want the time for where I'm at. The local race times are all very similar anyway, so it's not like it adds any nuance. It's something that's bugged me for years, that I have to click the button each time I want to find the start times for my time zone.
That sucks. It could have been nice to have another track in the US. PEACE.

You can barely call that a rear wing anymore.
Sensationalist journalism at its best.
It must not be that far from the truth. As we've already seen with the Red Bull decision the divas want weaker teammates so they feel secure while being the main focus within the team.
While I would love Kimi's driving for a team with a bigger budget, it sucks to see him basically begging for a drive in a team that didn't blink when they had to get rid of him.

Noah's Ark FP2 times, with one unsurprisingly out of place donkey.

Hamilton:
So pretty much a guaranteed Mercedes pole for Sunday then.

I don't see how using blind speculation on why Red Bull went the way they did supports the notion at all.

Shit... I thought that was official, lol. I was going to book a holiday home for one of the races based on those dates.

He probably put it out to create some leverage over someone, they've since become more flexible so he's publicly dismissed it to keep them on-side.
Lotus drops long-wheelbase car. Do their upgrades ever work?
Works better than Ferrari's.
The ddrs has been a long mess, barely helped in Spa.
We´re in for a very long and boring Sunday.
RBR doesn´t even trim their cars for topspeed anymore, just for laptime optimization. In race simulations they are 1sec faster than the Mercs, 1.5 than ALO.
Don´t expect too much from HAM, while he´s getting used to his car, he still doesn´t fully trust his brakes, and that's tantamount in Monza.

that cant be true. 1 sec is to big of a gap on a circuit where rbr is known to not be the fastest.
that seems to have changed

Absolutely not... it'll be a short boring race (79 minutes)
well i love a vettel win but not at the cost of a gap of a whole second per lap, thats just boring as fuck.
further more i dont see it happening. no way they have a full second on the competition.
Thats weird, i thought they were the slowest on the speed traps?

RBR looks set to dominate. would be nice to see Ferrari win for a change but Vettel's over a half second quicker than everyone else. (Ill happily eat these words if Ferrari do something impressive in qualifying)
But it´ll feel like hours on end...
Its said RBR found even more mechanical downforce with its diffusor. They can put the rear wing the flattest of all teams, and still have more grip.
ROS hydraulic failure, but they can´t find the source of the problem.

He is going even faster.
Alonso looks close so he might give vettel a hard time tomorrow
Today, yes. Tomorrow, I seriously doubt.
Is that the reason he was close? Alonso was on a different tire and still .2 something off.

1: Alonso
2: Vettel
3: Hamilton
Though in reality I wouldn't be surprised to see Hamilton get top. I swear that these days they sandbag right up until quali.
