Looking forward to the new season, some great races last year. Brazil was fantastic.

Routing mainly for Force India and Sutil's crazyness

Have there ever been 4 Brazilians on the grid before?

Judging by practice times the FIA need to reintroduce a minimum quali time to stop slow cars getting in the way.

@Mclaren rear wing
I thought any device that causes the rear wing to stall is against the rules?

Whoa, lap times really went through the roof, I remember Sakhir used to have a lap time of around 1min35, are cars really 20 seconds slower this season?

@ Mistershine - according to the BBC commentary this morning, the FIA are considering re-introducing the 107% rule for qualifying to address just that.

@ zexen - they think that is because the track is longer and the refuelling/cost cutting measures, so we can expect longer races this season (that or less laps).

What SciFiBoy said. The track is like 900 meters longer this year.

And yes, I knew Mercedes was lying about being bad in the first races (even if Rosberg usually runs with nearly empty tank on fridays).

Wow! Nico Rosberg finished in 1st during the second practise.

Ah, thanks, I didn't know they changed the layout. The track was never good, so maybe this change is for the better, we'll see

He always does...

Yes, the results after the race are significantly different to results during two practise races on Friday and the one on Saturday.
