Watching "Rush" right now. Gawd I wish the season would hurry up and get here. The sounds just light my candle.

I am kinda surprised they start the discussion only about a month prior to the start of the season.

.....and NASCAR is now adopting the CURRENT F1 qualy format and now F1 might tweak it lol! Strange.

I actually like the current format, but wouldn't mind Q3 teams getting a free set of tires to shoot for pole. That would spice it up!

It is a great idea and qualy would be perfect with that 1 change!

or if they can use the same set for Q2 and Q3, then have the option to choose the race compound.

and compulsory run at Q3 otherwise start at the back of the grid as "no time"

I think all teams should have to run all cars in all Q's or be demoted. The fans are paying/watching to see the cars run. NO run pay the price. Seems the extra tires will help possibly.

Williams continues to gain new sponsors. Be great to see them wearing the Martini colors!!!

Glad to see this. We need another strong team on the grid this year. I would love to see Felipe do well !

The first year that F1 came to Austin, I got the opportunity to Meet Mr. Brawn. He and his wife came into the store that I was working at during the time. He and I spent about 30 minutes talking about everything from Austin to F1. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

Ross will be missed. He has made his mark and more in F1. Good for him to let it go. We all move on sometime!
