If Bernie has his way, you won't have to get up early in future.
I think he is being self-centered about this. IMO F1 is, and should remain, a worldwide sport. To alienate any particular country because their time zone is incompatible with Europe would devalue the sport.

Yes I agree. Although the night race later in the year should be interesting.

Not so sure.
I saw the 1st night moto GP last weekend. There was a lot of talk beforehand about the fact that it was a night race, but it was lit so well that it was business as usual once it got underway.

Yeah to some extent, I agree, but it will change:
Relative Humidity which will have an effect on driver stamina etc.
Track Temperature which will alter the tyre wear factors (and braking conditions).
There was also talk (pre-the bike race) about the artificial lighting having an effect on driver visibility in certain instances.

Should be an interesting year now they`ve done away with traction and launch control, about bloody time too. Lets see who are the real drivers.

It`s a shame A1 racing isn`t on ITV as i would think that would be the end of F1 :roll:

what a great race...

fantastic (in the style of murray walker)

i really hope that williams are on the return.

it seemed to me that kubica went for the glory of being in the limelight for his qualifying but wasn't thinking of the full race picture ( i am a quick nick fan)

i love the fact that heiki is gonna give lewis a close run for his money.

even better that the ferarris's were not in the picture ( though they looked fast) i wondew if kimi needed to lean on his traction control to get to where he is ?

shame about the rest of the brit pack.
what has davidson got to do to actually finish a race ( although i don't think he did himself any favors at oz)
and DC for that matter .. except he looked good and strong..

and sato , wow ... 3 days testing and was up in 11th.

and team seb's aka torro red bin's .. i thought that car was going to be naff

what a really really great start to the season..

your thoughts

felt a bit sorry for Bourdais, then iremebered he's french. Such a highlight to see Kelly Osbourne on the grid - provided some shade for your Fosters anyway.
