That’s odd, I thought each driver’s number was meant to be consistent for the season, with it only changing when the team’s primary driver is replaced.
Then again Narain was a main driver until Daniel took his place.
Great pictures of the cars in the new circuit…The pictures in particular are the one taken of MGP’s in the pit lane with the grand stand as the back drop – just mega.
No pictures of the stray dogs… Where re the bollywood hero’s when we need them the most to keep the stray dogs away ;p
LRGP Haven’t had any noticeable visual upgrades for quite some time, with the last upgrades I believe at Singapore where they were exploring alternative exhaust systems on Bruno’s car.
It could be argued that their performance has been slowly dropping since then in comparative to other teams, this is a noticeably different tactic to that of last year, where Renault had an aggressive strategy, producing a new front wing for both cars at most races along.
Is this contrast in strategy suggesting they have truly ruled out this year and are focusing on some bigger plans for next season?
Although I would expect that some experimental development would continue as research for next seasons car?
So is LRGP, who ended the ’10 season strong, with a potential podium in the making at Suzuka before a wheel nut came loose, and started the ’11 season strong with two podium finishes, loosing their mojo or preparing for a Brawn GP repeat in the 2013 season?

So, effectively, Karthikeyan has gotten his #22 car back, and Ricciardo now replaces Liuzzi, driving his #23 car. Odd, but not unusual, I reckon.

Karthikeyan substituted Ricciardo which substituted Liuzzi, for this race.

I was thinking either “Survival” given his performances this season or, probably in his mind, “Slave Driver”

The force India lollipop is interesting..
Does it indicate the car is in gear to the driver (I guess Sutil will know it for sure) ?
or
Is it asking the Sutil to engage the gear from N?

@icemangrins I suppose it’s just telling him to make sure the car is in gear so he can make a quick getaway.

Amazing picture from Lewis’s helmet:
“One love”
Great homage to Nicole, I suppose. I think the man is really miserable now.

Just realized that HRT has some sponsors on board. The car is looking kind of like a real live race car now! Performing?-no, looking?-yes.

Is anyone else struck by the heavy smog that’s everywhere? That can’t be good for the engines. Or the lungs.
