    After watching the race, I have decided that F1 is back. You have BrawnGP and Red Bull both winning races, and Ferrari struggling. This, to me, shows that the rules changes, no matter how controversial, are having their intended effect.

    This is the first chance I've had to watch F1 this year, and I must say the new cars are visually wretched.


    Still, it was nice to have F1 and ALMS to watch in the same afternoon.

    @Maxichamp: I look at this years GP cars, and think, that they look like an illustration that a front cover artist of science fiction novels would create as there image of the Grand Prix cars of the future. They have curves and bulges that appear to have been put there to look cool rather than provide function.

    @rocor: I agree. Although the front wings are undoubtably too big and silly looking, this year's cars are full of curves and bulges that just ooze power and sex.

    "...with no real racing taking place except for a few fun laps with McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Felipe Massa."


    Massa and Hamilton were never contenders in the race. Obviously you missed the action between Webber and Button. Maybe Speed had better coverage than what you saw live at the event. I thought it was a great race though.

    Personal opinion is that when it gets so wet that a MG Midget on a set of Michelin X tires would run off and hide from you, it's time to park all that horsepower for a while.

    @bigblockautoX™: Why do you need an equalizer, Mr. Big Block? ... or do you take something else to the auto-x/track?


    I have a few friends with Miatas who regularly beat out Evos and other cars with significantly more power, and it's definitely easier for them in the rain, as you all stated. The fun runs are also hilarious when it's sopping wet :)

    What was the big change that Toyota did to their front wing? I heard the commentators going on about it (I tuned in late) but never saw any analysis. Nice to see Vettel walk away with the win and prove that Monza wasn't a fluke, and it's especially nice to see Webber up there after his accident last fall. My cousin had a similar accident last September and that's hard recovery.
