I think it´s a Mclaren track. Sure S1 and the long right hander is RBR territory but i think the Mclaren will be the best compromize for the whole track.

Currently, every track is a Mclaren track...

and u trust James Allen? LOL
hmmm I remember this year and last year and mos def in 2010 (despite the SC and panalty) Ferrari having at least pace with the RBs.
2011 Ferrari ended up Podium in Istanbul with RBs
2011 Ferrari up the pace in Silverstone.
2012 Same thing in Silverstone.
The only seciton I can see RB being good at is S3, which is somewhat quiet similar to Istanbul, especially that long right hander towards the end, we have yet too see, I have never trusted James Allen.

Teams have been working on improvements guys, nobody knows what team will feel better now. Ferrari have been working 24/7 just to make it work.
James Allen is definitely one of the most serious F1 journalists, if you can't trust him then you can't trust any of them.
Also, what I wrote below the link didn't have anything to do with what the JA article. Silverstone 2011, Ferrari was good because of the temporary ban to the blown diffuser. Silverstone 2012, they were good because of the wet qualifying. Those circumstances have nothing to do with the track characteristics.
Mario Andretti is really enthusiastic about this track, although I'm not totally excited about a track that is a selection of the best corners in F1. However it's better than Indianapolis.

Yeah cmon, and if they are competitive in Austin it will be because the distamce with the moon... lol.
At Hockenheim the Ferrari won in dry conditions, so why wouldn´t it be possible to Ferrari? I think they did a good work this last weeks and the car will be improved.
Magny Cours in France is such a composite track as well and apart from the crappy location in the middle of nowhere its an epic circuit for drivers. Still miss it on the calendar.
Alonso said after the race that the only reason they won was because he managed to qualify in P1, since they actually didn't have the best race pace. Qualifying on pole (in both Hockenheim and Silverstone) was only possible because it was raining, since that's when the Ferrari actually is as fast as the RB and McLaren.
I think the entire first sector is going to be quite hairy. It's technical and high speed, not a lot of wiggle room.
Why is FOX broadcasting the race?
Bad idea.I think the entire first sector is going to be quite hairy. It's technical and high speed, not a lot of wiggle room.
Why is FOX broadcasting the race?
Fox is broadcasting the race because Speed TV gives Nascar and other pathetic races more priority.
Ferrari came alive in silverstone 2011 and 2012, 2012 tho they droped the ball in tyre strategy.
Its at the same time? Thats not the best organisation at all.
Get the feeling that the U.S really doesn't want f1, and its going to be korea, where f1 just shows up does it own thing and leaves!!! its big for f1 to be in america. its not big for america having f1.
Can't wait for this weekend, I leave for Texas tomorrow morning
Have fun Miguel Gonzalez and please let us know how it was.
