With the titles settled and everyone relaxed on a new track i get the feeling we could be in for some serious racing and error in the last GP of the season if Brazil is anything to go by.

Its almost the complete opposite to Brazil where tensions were at a all time high but somehow i think the outcome will be the same, kinda like the end of two extremes. In Brazil certain driver simply had to go for it for prolly the first time this year and when they simply let go for either the reason of do or die or there is nothing on the line the racing becomes fantastic.

Or maybe it was just the great Interlagos circuit?

Surely you mean Abu Dhabi?

And the Abu Dhabi race will be crap.

The track is worse than Valencia and will have no overtaking whatsoever after the first lap.

It gives new definition to the phrase Mickey Mouse.

Haha sorry, how do you edit thread titles?

Ask a mod.

Also worth using the search function before starting new threads.

There's already one on Abu Dhabi which thrashes out most of the issues you've raised.

Maybe ?

I'm not sure why everyone is convinced that the pit exit is destined to have a driver plow into it. Aside from Rosberg at Singapore, I can't remember any other driver running wide on the pit exit and why that's going to change just because there's a wall there I have no idea.

It does look incredibly narrow along the pit exit as it goes beneath the track though. They'll not be coasting at the pitlane speed limits either, so couple that with an inexperienced driver wanting to prove his worth with contracts to be signed, and the likelihood of a crash is greatly increased.

...especially if Loeb is racing!

Hamilton might have given us a glimpse of the future after his second stop yesterday...

I can't figure it out, either. Personally, I think everyone is just looking for something to criticise. People on the internet seem to be very good at doing that.

It will be a shit race due to the current engines, spec tires, SECU and the current aero.

I don't expect a great race, maybe Red Bull can both get on their 9th engines, start from behind and give us some fun. Nah...
KERS should be helpful though, which might give McLaren and Ferrari an edge and put them in the mix.

It will be nice to have a race without worrying about the championship, Vettel and Barrichello still have 2nd place in the championship to play for. The track looks ok-ish I wish they would take the chicane out to make the run from turns 2-3-4 to 5 a better overtaking spot. Also the battle between Hamilton and Raikkonen for themslves and their team will be good too. And finally it will be great for the race to finish under floodlight.

I expect Button and |Hamilton to perform well and maybe a British 1-2.

what about the timing of the GP?
is it still a "twilight race" or it's moved to traditional timing?

Twilight. Why would it have moved? And if it had moved, don't you think we would have heard about it by now?

It'll be fine. Walls do have a way of getting a race driver's attention...

too many people seam to be getting all tied up by a roof lets remember how many pit lanes are just as tight just as twisty ok they dont have a tunnel.
but in effect they are just as long just as narrow and just as twisty.
Most of the haters i would place a bet on are just moaning due to where the race is, as most of the ex-F1 drivers who have driven on the track report they like it.
Or were most of the haters suffering from memory lapses when teh BBC showed Martin Brundle and David Coulthard going round it.
