Considering the amount of changes and regulations coming in next year, pretty much every team will have a new engine, chassis and aero package.


Most of them are just improving what they allready have, Honda Are Re-designing the Whole Car From Scratch, This years car is the same base car as what they've used since BAR left them, which is why they've been slow, Next seasons car will be completely different.

Really? Even with the introduction of the KERS system and the regs clamping down on the aero aides they are allowed to use.


KERS is Being Introduced next year, But That doesnt mean they have to Re-design the whole car, they are just adding to what they have, in some cases taking away to save energy and make F1 a 'greener' sport.

I really hope that Lewis did genuinely win it, although I'm still unsure of what happened to Glock... it just looked like he was cruising round the last few corners, and the track didn't look wet at all.

where are all these conspiracy theories coming from! why do you think hamilton was overtaken by vettel? because he had no grip, and he was on inters! glock was on slicks, he was goin to have even less grip than hamilton! on a banked corner, hes goin to be really struggling for grip!

I'm going by what I see. I've watched it over and over again and it doesn't really look as though Glock was struggling for grip on the last few corners and the track looked dry. I'm a huge Hamilton fan and I wanted him to win but the thing for me is I'm not sure he would've won if Glock stepped on it a bit more. I know he was on slicks and everything but just watch it, because it doesn't look like he was trying.

The Rain Has Probably Run Down the Hill aswell Considering how much of a steep Gradient it is. Glock wouldnt Just Slow Down On Purpose, Why Would he want to Advantage another team? its ever man for himself in Formula 1, Unless TeamPlay Comes into it of course.

Glock actually made an offical statment yesterday which was printed in a very small artical in the back of the sun (amongst the 4+ pages dedicated to Hamilton) and in this he wanted people to know he didnt deliberatly slow down for Hamilton and that he didnt have a clue that he had been passed by him till he had crossed the line due to 3 or 4 cars passing him in the last lap. He also said that he had to nurse the car all thw way around due to being so wet as putting any amount of power down just made the car twitch all over the place.

I suspect that on the last lap the tyres had just about fallen out of their operating temperature and so offered even less grip.
