I love the new movable rear wings!!!! What a neat deal! LOL ;D
Plus the KERS is always interesting.
The new Tires will be a treat I think.
It'll be a very different show come race day....cant wait but in the mean time, Im watching Practice very closely right now.

I am in heaven watching F1 in HD , I have been waiting for the first race of the season since the last lap of the last race...Whats with the rear facing Cannon on the Red Bull and Lotus? Did any body else notice the bizzare looking huge round air outlets on both of these cars??? Chris  |

The development that Im most impressed with since Im a Ground effect guy is Renault's front exhaust, which comes out the front part of the side pod to achieve a supposed cushion of air along side the pod...just like a invisible side skirt. |

It sounds like both McLaren and Mercedes have adapted to using the "front facing" exhaust as well. At least their designs allow for this adaption. The Mercedes showed quite a few tweeks post testing.

Ross Brawn stated they have developed the exhaust and engine to a point were there is a consistant even flow of exhaust gas coming out of the exhaust pipes thus making it a usable flow of air. So at idle or full throttle the flow of exhaust gas is the same, repositioning it to the front of the side pod makes sense as it can be used for a constant downforce providing flow... Huh?  I thought air goes in the top and comes out the bottom the flow depends on the gas pedal... This is the reason the Mercedes and now other teams have a Ruff or Gruff sound coming from the exhaust . It makes sense but doesnt!!! Chris |

I'm really looking forward to tonight! I think Vettel is just going drive away and lead Flag to Flag. I'm interesting in knowing more about Red Bull's supposed "special" one time KERS device.

Its probably a Hyper-drive system and he will turn into a blur as he laps the field 5 times in 3 seconds !!!! Even though the car is a evolution of last years car they seem to have the Field covered, but its not over until the checked drops.. Chris |
