When they brake for a corner fuel is essentially shut off and the throttle blades are still open. They aren't burning fuel the entire time the throttle is open so I don't get what you are going on about.UhHuhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-14120109587627952912011-05-19T03:44:45.848-04:002011-05-19T03:44:45.848-04:00I sort of agree with the comment.

The teams are getting to much knowledge about it and it's too predictable. I'd also like to see a tire that's less degrading in terms of pure speed. Drivers LET somebody pass just because they know they can't put up a fight. IMHO, that should be changed.<br /><br />I also think that some drivers (like button) should have had some extra this year, but i haven't seen that, which amazes me. The tire should be more about that IMHO._cyclops_https://www.blogger.com/profile/00215648067935802948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-46407836878053895462011-05-18T23:58:24.501-04:002011-05-18T23:58:24.501-04:00fair enough.

The next few races should show what kind of tweeks are needed to find a good balance, and I'd rather more passes than fewer as long as they're reasonably competitive. No more races where you can take a leisurely bathroom break and a walk through the park and come back to the same race. <br /><br />They'll get it right. In the meantime it's gonna be fun to watch.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377485419266946844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-3157233532502765622011-05-18T16:10:58.073-04:002011-05-18T16:10:58.073-04:00I enjoy the tire game to an extent, but I think th...I enjoy the tire game to an extent, but I think the DRS should be used anywhere with the game being drivers trading tire durability for speed.

I was reading the numbers and non-DRS passing is actually more common than DRS-assisted passing, even at Turkey.<br /><br />Also at the beginning of the season RBR was having serious problems with their KERS which gave them quite a headache with Webber and Vettel both getting pasted at various points in the races. Obviously the RBR has several other advantages but this is the reason these rule changes were needed:<br /><br />Given the multiple points of failure or advantage now back (finally) in F1, and the dramatic drop off of tire performance, the entire backfield is now a part of the action. And it has highlighted the TEAM aspect, considering that a botched pit stop can once again erase any and all gains made on track. <br /><br />Frankly I was tired of watching Trulli train races. We'll see the true measure of these 'fabricated' changes in the European races where passing wasn't a given (I read somewhere that the average number of on-track passes at Barcelona for position was roughly 2.5. Per race. Two passes, per race. You cannot tell me that was worth watching - you could easily just watch the quali session and have a good idea who was going to win.
