There has been a lot more passing in F1 this year. New rear wing rules and tires have made the racing much better. Spa is one of the tracks they have not ruined with all the chicans. Eau Rouge and Pouhon may be two of the best corners in all of F1 racing. If you only watch one F1 race all year don't miss Spa!

I'm pretty sure that the German grand prix is moving back to Hockenheim in '12. At least I hope so as I'm moving to within walking distance at the end of the month.

Oh ya how could I forget that kind of action packed racing thanks for reminding me of that.

All the passing is done in first 30 seconds of race then its follow the leader with the wine and cheeses set

My guess is you have never seen F1 in person nor do you understand how F1 all works throughout the year/season . F1 might be just too high tech for you.

Yes ,I have been to a couple of Formula 1 races and it was not very impressive. The only thing that I did like was the speed exiting out of the corners.

Although I am from England, I have never been to a F1 GP. I can't see the point in paying a load of money to watch a bunch of cars follow each other, no matter how fast they go! And when you get there you can only see them for a few seconds a lap. I wouldn't pay to go to a football game and only see half the field, so see no reason to go circuit racing where you can only see a small bit of the track.

We do have oval racing in England and that is what I go to each week, but I also save my money up to come over to USA to watch some real racing, In Indiana you have so many good tracks!
