Pirelli will bring soft and medium
http://www.pirelli.com/press/2011/10/07 ... nd-brazil/

It seems that most of the guys will stop twice which is better than last year when Vitaly Petrov went on a single set of tyres for about 300 kilometers (54 laps) ruining Fernando Alonso's race
A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor.

i never understood this limitation.
i enjoy the efect the (extreme) tyre degradation brought to the races, but i cant see any reason why we shouldn´t have unlimited tyre sets.

Two independent DRS zones will be in operation this weekend, the first on the long back straight between Turns 7 and 8, and the other on the following kinked straight towards the Turn 11/12/13 complex. Activation zones will be before the Turn 7 hairpin and in the middle of the Turn 8/9 chicane.

In the how-to-fix-the-track thread on Atlas, I like this suggestion (although I'd run it the other way maybe)

There's a football game going on right now between UAE stars and F1 stars.

Score: 4-2 for UAE stars.

Shumacher is a very good football player...
I could see a couple of videos of his matches and he defnitely has some skills!

I´ve read somewhere that Sebastian is not bad too.
