I watch live races on TV, just not TV shows. I just watched the GP too. They have had the movable wings all season (a silly gimmick, IMO).

Didn't the wing used to be a single plane device that extended out to the edge of the rear tires. It looks like it is now a double plane and has been shortened.

They reduced the size of the wing and now have a system where the driver can flatten it out to reduce downforce. But the system can only be engaged while passing another car on a specific part of each track. it's intended to create more passing; a real BS (NASCAR) type rule change.

Who watched racing this morning? Who saw Weber pass Alonso in that series of S turns? It was pretty cool. Three cars side by side battles and all.

I saw it, there was some pretty good racing back in the middle.
