It's going to be interesting to watch how tires perform as the daylight dwindles during the race.

It will also be interesting to see if running with slicks has more or less marbles as we get later into the race.

would have been nice to see some red rotors, but they still allow the wheel covers.

btw the brawn car looks 10x more disgusting w/ the yellow wheel covers. I'd say RICE, but its not japanese anymore, so i guess its euro trash.

I think this was just another example of Bernie being an asss and not caring for anything but his pocketbook.

The reason for the late race time was nothing more than trying to get the live race time in UK to be at a so called convenient time for the European fans.

I mean after all, why would Bernie want to concern himself with driver's safety regarding things like being blinded by the low sun angle? Drivers not only had to deal with very large shadows across the track, but also looking directly into the sun for some corners. These are F1 cars, driver's don't have sun visors, nor should they have to take a hand off the wheel to cover up part of their visor so they can see the turn-in point.

Just another example of why Bernie Must Die!
