It appears to show some promise. Looks to modled after some classic circuits., IIRMC I think that was a one of Tilkes goals.

Any thoughts on the new Austin track? I, for one, really like what I see. A bit of Turkey Turn 8, a bit of Suzuka/Silverstone fast transitional sweepers. And elevation. Oh, how I love elevation changes! (just got back from Watkins Glen)

Q: Vitaly, a lot of new circuits coming up that are new to you. This is the first one. What do you do to prepare for a new circuit like this?
A: Vitaly Petrov: Play PlayStation.

Night race coming up. Predictions? (other than a Renault going into a wall)

Red flag if it rains?

Awesome race! Such a close battle in the top 5!

I LOLED when Lewis tried to steer his car after the front right was damaged....

bbc1 - "lewis is upfront...lewis is out of the race"...

i'm still rooting for hamilton first and then webber.

button and vettel can suck it.

Great race. I know a lot of you like action and passing, but a race like this is what i love to see in F1. Alonso said he would win the title...

Two past champions nose to tail darn near the whole race, with just tenths of a second in the pits being the deciding factor? If that isn't action, I don't know what is!

If Heidfeld is confirmed to finish up the year with Sauber, I wonder if that means he will be back there next year? Or will he be considered for Mercedes if (when) Schumi quits?

[E-Thirty]

I'm excited to see Heidfeld back in the game, but at the same time I was kinda cheering for De La Rosa as it was nice to seem him back in a full time seat.

[E30Kaiser]

I hope this news is true, but apparently Heidfeld will be racing from Singapore to the end of the Season(and I assume beyond) for Sauber! No offense to De La Rosa, but I am so glad to see Heidfeld back in a car.

it was a good race. whats up with Vettle waiting til the last lap to change tires? i dont think tht should be allowed, but on the other hand, it did not look like it was hurting him with the pace.

Why shouldn't it be allowed? I think it was an excellent choice by RBR as they knew the longer Nico held up the field the more likely they were to cement 4th or 5th place. I just can't believe the soft tires lasted that long, but then again with so few turns Monza is a little easier on tires than most tracks.
