Yes yes yes. Make it happen! I'd be very 'appy.


Giancarlo is having way too much fun with AF Corse and other Ferrari 458's in the various Le Mans series

Brazilian journalists (hurr) say that Rubens is off to Lotus-Renault next season, with either Petrov, RoGro or Bruno partnering him.

Yeah...

Well, since amq hasn't opened the Brazilian GP thread yet, I'll start giving hopes to people by saying that I just saw on atlas a local forecast of 80% chances of rain on Friday afternoon, 80% for Saturday, any hour possible, and 90% of rain chance on Sunday lol
Also, max temperatures expected are the same for all 3 days, 23ºC. Not good for Felipe's Ferrari.

Other cars on the track are not good for Felipe's Ferrari.

The weather conditions will be irrelevant to Felipe.

Dry = 5th or 6th
Wet = 5th or 6th via some lolspins

Apparently Rubens will announce his future on Thursday, thought to be with LRGP

As a Rubens mark, this makes me very happy.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

DRS detection is at the Senna S. Activation point at Turn 3.

Good choice.

That's cool. Turn 1 is already a decent enough place to overtake.

I meant about the temperatures, Ferrari is slow to heat the tires. It's almost summer down there so one would expect higher temperatures than 13-23ºC. For instance, what are the temperatures at Australia right now? I guess quite higher than this.

Only 1 DRS zone? What about the uphill to start/finish??

No no no, turn 1 may be good enough for overtaking if they are in overtaking position. However, DRS is not only used for overtaking, but to assist cars to catch closer which is a great help for modern F1 cars at both India and Abu Dhabi where 2 DRS zones combined together finally put cars together.
Now in Brazil, that one single DRS zone is ridiculously short and the road before turn 3 is absurdly narrow. Coupling that with the tyres that are now rather consistent and this track of low wear to the tyres. I am now properly expecting a processional race unless the positions are somehow mixed up after the race start.
