Imola is a heavy downforce circuit and loved by the drivers, this one unfortunately is neither. I like them both, however

Valencia is a fun track to drive on any good sim
im gona have to agree with Markus here. I too predict MS will be the first or second DNF(on his way out of the pits right left wheel nut will fall off and DRS will fail imediately after..or in reverse order)
Race
1.Vettel
2.Alonso
3.Hamilton

It's a shame that Mercedes is making Micheal Loose points almost every race.
Vettel and alonso seem to be safe bets for podiums.
add hamilton to that list for quali spots, McL are always good on saturday.
I think lotus is going to shine here as well as red bull.
official prediction:
q: Vettel, Hamilton, Grosjean
r: Vettel, Raikkonen, Grosjean

Do pole matters here or Will it be like Montreal or Malaysia??
pole position mattered last year, it was difficult to overtake.
no one really knows what the DRS zone is going to be this year, but i'd say pole is still pretty important.
Of course if mclaren gets pole they'll most likely mess up the strategy or pit stop(s) and wind up scrapping for low points.

Back to snoozefest. This is going to be worst race of the season for sure.
So Valencia is harder to overtake i thought only Spain and Monaco
So Pole Matters here but who's gonna get it
a list wil be produced to answer it

Thanks for the Hamilton link Kartik, was interesting to hear him dicsuss the feeling of other cars etc.
As for the race, i think new Pirelli´s and DRS will provide a fairly good show this year.

That's because the straights aren't really straight, so the slipstream advantage is reduced. This is the case in Monaco and Hockenheim. In Spain, the last chicane separates the cars for the pit straight. Valencia combines the two, curved straights and chicanes before them.
Well not to mention cos i too want to know about him lot more and i want to share that with you guys
As for Race i wish we had only one DRS after the Bridge Straight which was perfect spot for Overtaking instead of two and i think every team go for a 2 stop strategy instead of Single Stop due to length of Circuit and Low and high speed corners which needs high traction
Any idea how many DRS zones will be this year? Oh and I this MSC will have a front suspension failure this time
Between T11-T12Any idea how many DRS zones will be this year? Oh and I this MSC will have a front suspension failure this time
And just one i think.
I'm gonna have to find the driver who said that curves reduce the slipstream effect. I think it was Alguersuari or Di Grassi.
Romain Grosjean Despite of 3 Dnf in 7 races he scored 6th, 3rd, 4th and 2nd in remaining.
Can we can call him as the Best come back to F1 this season ????

with this season I think it's a little early to call anything but I think Grosjean has proven himself a good asset to Lotus
I guess he Was proved lot more
People may criticise him for his DNFs, but he's now only 2 points behind Raikkonen. He's done an amazing job when he finishes the race.
