i think the new DRS rules will make the whole season quite interesting too. no longer unlimited areas in qually and FP1-3. and no more dodgey DRS, its a shame as i feel that hampered creativity and dvelopment.

Heavier tyres should be interesting.

former colleagues have praised Singas F1.

Which section you sit in Damo?

On the plus side its possibly the cheapest F1.
I sat here (yes, that is my bogan Aussie flag...):




It was on the main pit straight. Ruby Grandstand tickets I think from memory. Didnt have any issues with crowds or getting in/out of the track at all. If I was to go again, I would get cheaper tickets (the ones I got were the 2nd dearest) and get on something near turn one, or towards the hairpin at the start of the pit straight.

And yes, cheapest F1 to go to I reckon....Flights, 5 nights accomo and my tickets cost $1250 (the 3 days F1 pass cost about $580).

I took a heap of photos as well if anyone is interested (ignore the ones of my ugly mug!): https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=4194d408e7

fark i would have almost been sitting right next to you, mine were ruby as well. i was further to the top of where that pic is, got the nice breeze.

did you go the fan vision video gadget? booked mine online saved about 30 bucks each, just grabbed them at the circuit. swear by them however this year they arent doing it, soemthing about bernie being a greedy chunt.

Sepang is def not a place to be without ear plugs.

we got ripped because the ruby were shown closer on the F1 seat viewer but when i went to FP2 to check out the seats they were further across than shown.

i went to speak to the ticketing and they told me that i could get a refund of my current tickets then pay full ticket price for the ones i should have got...get farked!!! around 400 bucks dearer. didnt help that they spoke like chickens. checked my attitude chilled out and just enjoyed it. singas 2015 will be the paddock then i will be happy if i die after that.

So Ferrari and Force India have got rid of the stepped nose.
Interested to know more about what looks to be a second air intake on the Fezza.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Just read that the Force India is using a 'modesty panel' to cover the stepped nose.

Possibly. May have to do with directing the airflow when using DRS maybe?
I have been looking at the official Ferrari and F1 sites, also Autosport.
The only mention of it I could find was this...

Sauber C32 - Looks hot.



Still has the stepped nose, just has sides to it now so you cant see it from side on.
