2010 will be good Don’t worry Sn1p3r, 2010 will be exciting.
I would have loved to see racing as it was in the early 2000s with the - - The unlimited qualifying laps which allowed drivers to push their machines to the limit and beyond.
- The fastest engines and transmissions which were on the absolute threshold in terms of performance and reliability. They were built to last for just 1 race. And it really showed on the track.
The emergence of cost cutting and safety has greatly reduced the freedom of F1 engineers. But those evil minds still come up with things to trump the regulations.
Personally, I prefer the refueling ban to the odd ball 2005 tyre change ban. Even though Liuzzi said yesterday that his Force India is like a bus when the fuel load is high...
Pit stops will be awesome this season. We will be able to see who is the fastest under pressure with just the tyres to be changed along with some wing adjustments.
I read somewhere that the current record for a four-tyre change stands at a holly 3.2 seconds, set by Benetton in the 1993 Belgian GP. Lets see whether any of the teams be able to break this record?
Drivers will have to use their tyres with most care during the race. And some cars will be kind on their tyres. Logically, all cars should be fastest towards the end of the race and those with a good set of tyres towards chequered flag will be at an advantage.
The passing on the pits will no longer be an option unless some teams screw up in the pit lane. The guys are paid to race and they will have overtake rivals on the track to earn places.
Then there is the critical element of fuel efficiency of each car.
So it’s a season of huge unknowns and what ifs.
Add Schumi's come back into it and I am really looking forward to 2010 to say the least. ![Clapping](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/Clapping.gif) |
