Its profound that the FIA want the race to be slower...ridiculous!!! F1 is not suppose to be a slow sport at first place, rather its bout reducing lap times every next season...And FIA claims that the slow speeds will help in making this sport safer but they themselves beat this idea by reducing the down force(which cud result in cornering mishaps) and redundant tyres(which can result in disastrous consequences on a wet track)....

imagine if the FIA didnt attempt to slow the cars down..
they'd be going 6-7 seconds quicker every year... imagine that !
it may sound like fun to us.. but it is very dangerous
the reduced downforce does mean less grip.. but it also means slower cornering
just a matter of getting use to for the drivers
i agree on the tyre issue..
the FIA has alotted an emergency set of tyres for this reason.. and in case a tyre has got 'severly damaged' and needs changing
these are still grey areas and will be clarified come 6th march
now, inspite of the FIA's slowing down measures.. cars until now have been slightly quicker or there abouts all these years..
the 2005 measures ( and beyond ) and far greater esp with the new 2.4 Lt V8s in 2006
but take my word for it.. they wont slow F1 down for long or too much
10 teams are spending around $2.5 billion to ensure it !

Didn't the papers say that Narain in a Jordan was just 2.5 sec off Schmi's pace? I think that's good, not race winning good but, "this is my first F1 season" good.

ferrari arent revealing their true pace yet..
i do expect that gap to widen

I think aggregate time thing is good for the backmarkers.

rain has always played spoilsport.. even when there's just 1 qualifying session..
now there 2.. on separate days
they can never really overcome that possibility.. and why should they ?
it makes for some even better racing !!
