All the teams are concerned about crappy Bridgestone tyres and B/stone just say “deal with it”, because they don’t have to compete with anybody.

So the teams have to spend valuable testing time working out how to use the tyres, time and effort WASTED.

Another symptom of the single tyre supplier – that and no overtaking.

Thank you very much Becken for posting that link. I will definitely view it in its entirety. I wonder how people get a hold of this footage. It seems a real waste to not give the viewers more of this and I’m sure many other wasted camera angles.

what a hell of a great link Becken…
they must make that live, and than it must be possible to choose which driver we can drive with…
that looks fantastic to me

Tyre wear concerns already? What happens if we have another cold and wet season then? Do Bridgestone have another formula prepared just in case?

Nice one Becken !
Shame we can’t get that sort of thing live.

I’m not sure if Valencia are intending to make any modifications ahead of their second race in 2009, but comparing the two street circuits that debuted in 2008, I’d say Valencia needs more work than Singapore.

I’d agree.

I hope they don’t take away the bumps from Singapore, it makes it harder for the drivers and looks great with all of the sparks under the floodlights.

I’d leave all tracks as they are for this season, the new cars may well give us some better racing (hopefully anyway) but either way it’ll be easier to compare them on the same tracks before any more changes are made.
