It will make a very interesting race next year now that drivers have got used to the track. They ought to give a few days extra practice time at new tracks so that you don't get all the errors which were made in qualifying.

I am still not sure about the points system which is being used this year as if one driver gets a good lead by the midpoint in the season, like Alonso has, they can just drive for minor places and not be passable. I would prefer that the winner gets 12 points rather than the 10 so that there is a 4 point advantage over 2nd and 6 points over 3rd. A point for fastest race lap could add a bit of extra spice with something being winnable even in the final stages of the race when only a major driver error can upset the result.

agree about the points.. it was done so that if Schuey won all the races then the champ wouldn't be won so soon as the second driver gets 8... now he not winning all the time it isn't really needed

these team rules are abit stupid as well.. Reanult have to say rubbish to Alonsa like you are faster than Fisi overtake.. we all know he was let through.. it's only when Ferrari do things like Austria and bring the sport into disripute that team orders should be banned

good track but still spoint by having those slow corners at the endof the lap

not looking good for Williams at the moment

Half way through qualifying at Spa with Webber top so far. Hope it throws it down in around 10 minutes to put the fastest drivers at the back.

Looks like Button's staying put.

Button 'cuts deal to stay at BAR'

I heard a ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20,000 ,000 figure going around.

loos like it is until next week when he changes his mind or the middle of next season.. much as i want to see the Brits do well would love it if Williams had a better car then get a big manufacturer for the season after that as well

orangebird · 28-09-2005, 15:58

Anyone here ever been to the Belgian track?

sherer · 28-09-2005, 18:31

fraid not but i think you can do track days there

New design for cars should mean less downforce and more overtaking due to reduced turbulence.

New design

not sure about 'crowds back in their droves', but it is definitely a step in the right direction

sherer · 24-10-2005, 11:31

don;t hold you breath until the rules get finalised this is just wishful thinking.. they say this all the team but the rules never get pushed through

a few times this year, Japan for example, we have had races with overtaking which shows it is piossible.. what we need is no fuel or tyre stops then the action will have to take place on the track rather than a car going faster while the one it is racing is in the pits

andygrif · 24-10-2005, 12:02

Actaully, there has been a tremendous amount of overtaking this year...it's just that we haven't seen very much of it.

I got quite frustrated at several GP's - especially the ones where we saw Kimi starting way back on the grid due to engine problems, and working his way to the front of the pack. He had to overtake at least a dozen times in each race to do this - but we never saw any of it.

Of course rubish directors is only half the problem - but it's the easiest half to cure.

Oh...and whilst I'm ranting...that bloody dog-racing-cam on the pit lane in Japan....stop it...it's wrong and makes me sea-sick!

Alternatively watch the A1 GP that has more action in a few laps than F1 has in an entire two hour race!

Also it doesn't have any ads during the race. I'm in two minds if I watch any F1 races next year, I'm so peed of woth thoes ads
