Thanks brother. That is too cool!

What an experience you had.

You should have slapped a TS stickers on one of the F1 cars while you were there!

After having some time to reflect, I must say that I enjoyed the race but was not overhwelmed by it.

The new refueling regs did nothing to improve overtaking or spice up the race at all.

If anything, it slowed things down because pit stops are some of the most exciting moments.

With all the drivers on a one-stop strategy, it just seemed to lack something.

Am I alone here??

Yeah I was just watching on DVR too... I have to say... forgive me...












BORING.

Sad as it is, the fuel pitstops and strategy add to the spectacle. I just wish they would let the designers use all the available tools (ABS, traction control, etc.) and put aero on the shelf.
