What no hot discussion about Bernie's push-to-pass button or the "featherable" rear wing?
Actually had it not been for the excessive marbles that made passing verbotten after about a dozen laps, the two changes seem to hold promise.

I couldn't get past how big Hobb's gut is. In fact Varsha, Hobbs, and Matchett in a row is not a pretty sight.

Funny you said that. When they said there were changes in the production, a couple of us said "yah, you all have huge guts!"

The first 2/3 of last year, we would wager on which lap he would screw up the race. Now he's just driving away from the field. Kinda boring!

how about "why didn't webber use the KERS system to try and make a pass?" Maybe Red Bull hasn't worked the kinks out?

Also it's great that they're using something jim hall invented in the 70's........when do we get to see a fan car? or is the funny exhaust and throttles that are always at 90% or greater the modern iteration of that?

Hobbs and the boys do seem to have developed "old guy" bellies. Of course as an official member of the old fart club, I really didn't take note! :D

The Pirellis are going to be an issue this year... think competition pit stops every x amount of laps ala Nascar. Love the Alonso / Petrov rivalry brewing and don't count Schummi out of the top 5 this year. Great stuff - funky tech rules... reminds me of other racing :D

I dont know if any of you guys saw it. But is it possible, I mean, call me crazy here, that Massa grew some balls for a few laps when battling/blocking/racecrafting Button?
How do I fit this Ls7 into my mia.... nevermind

Not grande huevos but porteco ones? I dunno, I figure anybody who can do what those dudes do, has a pretty large pair. It's one of the few forms of auto racing where I shake my head in amazement.
