pit stops
it seems that "pit stop passing" is the only way to pass opponents
these days. would be nice to see some sort of restriction in the pit
stops
for example having 4 mechanics per a stop. so if they want to change
all four tires, it will take longer than just replacing one tire... -im
not saying this is a solution, its just something needs to be done,
drivers seem to be RELYING on pit stops to pass, and what we see is a
lack of passing on the track.
cost cutting measures, also seem to be stopping drivers from pushing
their car continously for the entire race, its such an anticlimax
toward the end of the race where they back off to preserve the engine
for another race (this ruins fri pratice too, as drivers arent putting
a lot of laps down)
and finally many congradulations to MS, was a little shame that in one
sense it was a hollow victory, as Massa was the "donkey" for the team
(using his share of tires, for ferrari to get data), i didnt think he
would be like RB, but it seems like being brazillian isnt the only
thing they share.
