Spa is up though, could be blast.
And the weather here sucks lately, so I hope it stays that way for 2 more weeks

I'm just hanging on to the hope that next year's cars are going to give us good racing again. Tracks like Silverstone, Spa and the like have been made somewhat less interesting because the current aero rules just doesn't suit fast, flowing circuits.

This still looks goddamn terrible.

Does anyone have a link to the model they had in autosport? It was posted in the MSN chat during the european GP last weekend

That is what cars should look like next year

Adrian Sutil said the 2009 Force India car "looks a lot like a 1997 car"

This still looks goddamn terrible.

Front half of the car looks awesome.
Back half of the car looks horrible.

Overall, quite a disappointment.

I think it looks good. THe rear seems a bit weird indeed, but if it delivers great racing, I'm all for it.

I doubt Spa and Monza will be good races unless it rains. The dirty air will restrict overtaking like last year

I have to agree on spa being rubbish last year. But still, it's great to see it's still on the calendar, because it's a classic f1 circuit. Let's hope that it's better this year.

It will still be enjoyable to watch, Spa and Monza are awesome.

With the summer we've had, you sort of expect a wet Spa GP. I'd actually like a changable GP which is wet and dry, but now I think I'm getting too picky.

Maybe I'm being over-optimistic, but oh well. Either way I also agree that Monza will be really bad this year barring a miracle.

Oh, and if it's true what sutil says, then we're back in business. *edit: nevermind, forgot that that thread got deleted

How do you want cars to look? Sorry to break it to you but early 1990s cars aren't coming back.
