North America & Update

A couple of boring races to be honest, with the first corner incidents at Indianapolis, of which there were three - taking out a total of nine cars, and Jacques crashing out at the Circuit that's named after his Father being largely the only talking points. I'm glad that JPM wasn't penalised for causing the crash at Indy, cos I honestly think he didn't, I saw no reason for Kimi to brake that hard at that point, however being in front that's his right I suppose. For me the most interesting point about Canada was the 'marbles' that appear off of the racing line, causing a lot of Drivers problems. Surely if it's going to get like that, they need to do something about the tyres? If a driver cannot go offline to overtake, it's gonna get boring! But maybe that will be eleminated with the single tyre Formula.



BMW have finally been told to stiffen one of the elements in their rear wing, after a 'closer look' by the FIA at Indy. This has to be done by the French GP.

The FIA have also announced that from the French GP, the third stage of Qualifying will be shortened by five minutes. I think this will mean that the Teams will decide to only go for one hot lap, as opposed to the two we have become accustomed, so they can still maximise the fuel burn. Whether this makes the session more interesting is anyone's guess!

Sam Michael has admitted that Williams's lack of pace is down to Aero-efficiency, which is the same reason they give every year, about time for a reshuffle in that department? Shame they couldn't get to Adrian Newey before Red Bull as I think Red Bull will be consistently faster next year, especially if the rumoured Renault Engine deal comes off.
