    He needs help / a shoulder to cry on, at the moment he is a lone wolf... wierd way of putting it but true, and it is very sad to see him like this.
    The passion and the fire has gone, and we don't know how or when it will return again.

    Of course there is a difference - it's a new front wing!
    I posted it because I found it interesting that McLaren have updated their car so late in the season when the constructors title is done and the team have been in a secure 2nd place for a while. My intention was to get the discussion back on topic.

    One of the best things about this circuit is that it is far from level! - One of Tilke's better efforts.

    Like Ferrai, I guess they are tesing possible new parts for 2012.

    I think we may see a lot of new parts on all the teams as they treat FP1 & 2 as advanced test sessions for 2012.

    They may as well as none of them have anything else to gain for 2011.

    not sure if i had a job i trully loved doing driving the fastest cars on the planet , whilst having 50 zillion golden simoleons tucked away in some swiss bank account not to mention having luxury pads in various tax free paradises , did i forget the pick of endless amount of horny little dollies that would obviously come with all that ,

    not sure if i would need " a shoulder to cry on " ---- forgive me msc if my heart does not bleed for him --

    ( its friday night , i am only screwing with you bud ) --

    I'm glad to see that Legard is progressing with his career.

    Xig, we have gone down this road before about money not making you happy. It is not the be all and end all of life.

    That he has squillions in the bank doth not necessarily make a happy man if your life is lacking elsewhere.

    So Lewis needs a shoulder to cry on because his love life didn't go according to plan....thats it?

    Do I need to even bother to include the rest of the planet who have a few more important life issues than him?

    Completely agree. Should be a good race, if the DRS doesn't ruin the race.


    Does anyone think McLaren are struggling?
    My impressions from practice was Red Bull>>>Ferrari>McLaren>>>>>>>>>Mercedes

    Anyone agree?

    I don't think we can really read much into practice, teams are doing different programmes, drivers are learning the circuit. I do think it should be reasonably close between Red Bull, Mclaren and Ferrari though.

    About the track, on F12011 it is good to drive with all the undulations and and varying gradients, and it seems in real life it is the same.

    Media coverage is populist. That's not a snipe at them in any way: it's a lesser evil for the media to blindly cover what people ask for than follow their own agendas. Supporters and opposers of Hamilton alike talk more about him than they do about the other two British drivers combined. If they stopped doing so, he would get less coverage.

    In other words, the attention Hamilton gets is partly your fault, and partly mine ;)

    I agree Forza, but maybe Ferrari a bit closer than you think IMO.

    times don't mean much yet, the drivers are waiting for the dust to clear (off the racing line) and rubber to get laid down.
    THEN we might get an idea of who is where. Possibly late on in FP3 - but also in Q1.

    I know what you mean. All the BBC's constant Hamilton talk is seriously annoying now.

    @paulhembery RBR almost quicker than all the other cars that are using the soft tyre... when they are using hard.

    Sigh. :(
