In my opinion, refuelling is an important element of strategy. It's a pity, that it will be banned. I am agree, that refuelling rules weren't thought-out well. It could be much more interestingly, if the fuel tank capacity would be decreased to force teams to make more pit-stops. In this case, the fuel economy also could be the cornerstone of the race strategy.
Max and Bernie moving in wrong direction, i think. They have banned tyre changes in 2005 and everybody had to consider, that it was not a good idea. I predict that refuelling will be permitted again in 2011.
Furthermore, most of the accidents appear in the opening laps. Fuel leak may be more significant due to increased amount of fuel

Castroneves deserved this win. His troubles caused lack of pre-season testing and the missed season opener as well. All this court deal costed a big amount of nerves for him. That was his race - white stripe comes after black one

There is a mistake in this article: Lola made attempt to enter F1 in 1997, but not in 1998.

Darren and Alex are very talented drivers. But Darren's talent use to be underrated often and D&R is not the best team for him to show it. As i understand, the "race-by-race deal" means sharing the seat with Milka Duno. I think, he may strike in some races. If he'd do it, he may hope for a sequel to his Indycar career. Otherwise, 2009 may be his last year for him as for an Indycar driver

I think, the times are shown by Brawn GP are just a bluff, which is set to acquire sponsorship - the car runs still without any banners, and this is a situation to worry about. Anyway, i think, the car is fast enough to qualify in the middle of a field, but it isn't a potential winner. What about the times, shown by McLaren, i think, that they still suffer any problems - i'm sure, that they can push up the tempo a little bit, but there's still a lot of room for improvement for them. As a consequence, the real speed of McLaren and Brawn GP, as well as speed of STR, who still are unable to solve their reliability problems, are the main questions before the start of 2009 season

Car looks a bit ugly, but the livery is great. I wonder, why thay don't had to use the indian flag colors in a 2008 livery. Orange and green match well together

I rather like their pre-season test's black livery. The represented livery is just like previous, made in severe style without any features

Bourdais is right, if proceed from that fact, that in previous years that was a normal practice - a lot of f1 drivers had to race sportcars during the one season as well. The same situation we see in modern american racing series - a lot of drivers switch between Indycar and ALMS series. More than, in my opinion, all of the f1 drivers should do that - it's a pity, that Monaco GP and Indy 500 are crossing their dates - it'd be interestingly to see some of f1 drivers racing in Indy 500. This will raise the attention to the other racing series as well as to f1

I see, they mean business. At least, it seems like this. What about drivers, i mean that they should keep in sight Ryan Hunter-Reay as a potential driver. He's very talented
