It actually seemed to be dominated by the suppliers to the BTCC and its support races, as well as many Stock Cars and the lesser divisions of motor racing (which do still deserve our support!) However, there was a big space filled with the Yas Marina, but not apparently supporting F1 very much. There was even a lack of F1 drivers around, apart from JB, so perhaps its not somewhere to go expecting the usual hype, but more a place to see what makes a racing car tick?

I'm glad there'll be no engine equalisation. Red Bull can't moan about being down on power when the Renault is so much better at fuel economy, especially for next year when even one lap's worth of fuel less for the whole race may be almost as advantageous as a more powerful engine. Happy birthday to those celebrating!

The Renault stand of the modern F1 cars was disgraceful. Instead of putting an ‘09 or few years old F1 car there, they put up a World Series car with 09 F1 livery!! The cheek of them! Ferrari were no better, with an F2003-GA. MattM</blockquote> Renault R25?

They may also say brawn wouldn't be mercedes this year if mclaren had better engines compared to brawn. Just a thought, although it's more just taking the Mick put of those who take these ideas so seriously!
