I'm feeling magnanimous, so here's something about Lewis and his Mechanics:

Re: 2011 UBS Chinese Grand Prix
Insane that those RBR mechanics think McLaren did it on purpose, with Button stopping at them.. Insane!

15 overtakes for a driver who can't overtake, not bad

We just had too much overtaking in this race. F1 needs to find proper balance for natural racing. Current mixture of Pirreli Tires, DRS and KERS seems to be making it lot easier for driver, at least it seems like this on TV
Other day, i saw Indy Car and Rolex Sports Car Series highlights. Not so popular but are fun and worth watching.

Re: 2011 UBS Chinese Grand Prix
I disagree with you, Zack, but of course it becomes a matter of personal taste at this point. Even though there has been much more overtaking than we had come to expect, there have also been a lot of great battles, with impressive, daring moves, both offensive and defensive. The simple fact that it is now possible to overtake mean that drivers go about their racing differently, they actually try stuff which they would've been reluctant to do in the past: what about Hamilton's passes on Button at T1, on Vettel going into T7? Rosberg and others overtaking into T16? Artificial DRS-induced racing, or just sheer brilliance? What about Webber and others raising clouds of dust by braking on the dirty side before T14, didn't they take any risks, did that look like easy overtaking? What about Schumi holding up a faster Alonso for several laps? What about Petrov and Heidfeld being able to protect their 3rd position from a faster car in the closing stages of the first two races?
As for me I've been watching F1 for years and years, and this feels like the racing I've always wanted to see. These past few years I would usually be mildly disappointed with the actual racing (except a few classics, usually on the wet), even when the seasons themselves were interesting. This year we've had thrillers two weekends in a row, and we can probably expect a few more. I'm sold.

Re: 2011 UBS Chinese Grand Prix
For some reason i always get the impression that the Ferrari has fantastic mechanical grip, possibly the best, but is lacking in further grip provided by aerodynamic downforce.
Re: 2011 UBS Chinese Grand Prix
My Point of View is overtaking now seems to be easier as it was suppose to be(thanks to fia & co). Btw, overtaking was always possible. Matter of the fact is the difference in the performance of car is that allows the overtaking with some added driver skills. That difference is now enhanced using DRS which makes it possible for driver behind to gain more advantage rapidly. I personally don't like this. It seems to be semi blue flag for driver ahead.François wrote:I disagree with you, Zack, but of course it becomes a matter of personal taste at this point.

And its not like drivers didn't take risk earlier. To contradict, now driver with fresh rubber naturally have better grip so less risk. My Simplified reason is Pirelli tire wear profiles. Similar to tire war scene. It seems to be more natural and organic than DRS. It's like sitting duck v/s road runner
It is good for f1 if everyone want this.
