Other new rules for 2009..... Slicks will be back. They are also taking away 50% of their downforce.
All that's left then is to take away the other 50% of downforce, remove the mirrors, radios, and telemetry....oh, and get rid of the pavement too. :applaud: The overpaid fashion models in F1 are billed as the best racecar drivers in the world but personally, I don't believe they could carry the helmet bag of many of our current and former open wheel stars. With a few more practice laps under his belt I do believe Jeff Gordon could've competitively run the USGP.
