This season has been excellent fun. There have been several rounds where just the qualifying was as entertaining as a whole race weekend from a few years ago.

I don't actually remember if it was Monaco where the qualifying was more entertaining than the race, but if not then it was easily close and there has been one round where that was the case.

The new rules have worked a treat.

There hasn't been refuelling in F1 for years, and yes, a 4 second stop is considered pretty poor. Most are around three seconds, with mclaren leading the way with a 2.4 second stop last race.


Wot, no refuelling? No fun! I should watch a race and see what else has changed.

McLaren had a 2.4 secs pit stop this past weekend at the German GP...crazy.

2.5 seconds by my fave team McLaren is becoming the benchmark, and then there's this article that suggests it's only going to get faster!

Funny around 21 mins 15 secs..... every aspect of this place is uber-designed for perfection in every way. Except the car identifier for the dashboard which is a blue taped sheet of paper.


Yeah, and the paper doesn't even have nice rounded corners.

I stand corrected.

After years of Black Adder, Mr. Bean, and the brief Rowan Atkinson stand-up on HBO, the man is finally speaking as himself in public -- and it's nice to see, because he seems rather articulate and thoughtful, and quite a driver!

Reminds me of

yet, the mclaren didn't loose by much up the gearing a bit and she might have won. i'd still drive the mclaren, it's just a better looking car.
