There aren't too many honest drivers nowadays (most drivers would probably speak their mind but that could most likely end up ruining relationships with sponsors)
And apart from this race, which other middle-eastern and asian races have been good to watch? I can count...uh...this race..and maybe the 2010 Abu Dhabi GP just because it was a title decider.
What a ****ing joke. Alternating with Spa??? Good luck getting a bigger fanbase with that decision.
This just makes me want to start raving on about the ridiculous sums of money that have to be paid by the venues to be featured in the calendar, with the european traditional circuits struggling to do so and how much the middle-eastern venues (which by the way are absolute expensive borefests, therefore a WASTE OF MONEY) are favoured by the money-hungry pricks that are running FOM at the moment. So much for "cost-cutting".
For once I agree with you there. Getting rid of Valencia would be more effective than Spa, at least from a fan's POV.

Keywords there are "set to join" and "expected to be confirmed". It's not 100% confirmed yet, but still would be good news to see Sordo still being able to bring the fight to the front while Prodrive are sitting some rallies out.
And Rosberg still squeezed two podium finishes out of the 2008 Williams, which wasn't a good car (at least after the early season). So there goes the travesty theory out the window.
Anyway, I really hope Kobayashi makes the best out of his grid spot, this is a huge opportunity for him and Sauber in a car that is proving to be very good, at least good enough to capitalise on any slip-ups from the front teams.
During these 3 years the team has come a long, long way from where we were in our first year (even though I wasn't here). Many things improved, such as the drivers' quality, the team's intentions of being a racing team (with cruisers and drifters) and even the Kings bros' spelling improved in these 3 years! The team still has a lot of room for improvement, specially with some childish attitudes that tend to appear every now and then. So happy birthday LLM!
T'was a very entertaining race to watch and talk about...Goodness knows what the **** happened in the end, but ultimately, LLM managed to stand out a bit more than last year, and I'm not saying this because of the massive stream time we got, but because 3 out of 4 cars managed to spend a lot of the race in the top 10.
I didn't like what happened at the end because it ruined those 3 guys' chances of finishing higher than they did. Matt could've finished higher than 6th, and Ray and Nate could've been better than 11th and 12th. Hell, they could've even finished on formation and ended it in style and in a good position. But what happened happened, and looking at last year it still ended up being an improvement. Although it could've been so. much. better.
