Well some people hit the pit pretty early, including Massa and Rosberg. There are some reports some drivers are burning too much fuel per lap and without a safety car they'll have to turn it down. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Could be some interesting strategies coming up. Maybe fuel will be an issue? How so? I am watching but no sound  My girls are asleep in the room. We are visiting my son at college.Well some people hit the pit pretty early, including Massa and Rosberg. There are some reports some drivers are burning too much fuel per lap and without a safety car they'll have to turn it down. Interesting. FIA needs to allow refueling of larger tanks. This racing to a lap time to conserve fuel sucks/ |

I 100% agree it's a stupid idea. BUT Its implications are exciting seeing as neither HAM or ROS has walked away with it. |

Lots of motivation for Ham to go all "Prost/Senna" on Rosberg at Abu Dhabi if it's very close.
Once again, Vernge whoops Kyvat. |

That was a really boring race. Not a single good battle. I thought RIC and VET were going to get into it but didn't. Then I thought ROS and BOT were going to get into it but didn't.

Boring race, with a obvious result.
A season, that had potential to be exciting, turn into 2 cars and the rest. All that left, is HAM and ROS hate each other so much. like SENNA and PROST, that starts to affect their team results and RICC starts to take advantage of it. |

Overall I blame track and tire choice for the boring race. Super-softs and softs would have been the proper choice. The lack of grass and sand meant no repercussions for going off track. These Tilke tracks really suck. There is one great curve and the rest is just boring because there's no natural flow. |

Agreed. straights into 90 degree corners get boring, lap after lap, couple that with no visual appeal, and no elevation change and it makes for what amounts to the slot car track sitting in my son's bedroom. |

Funny thing is that the old Burke Lakefront Airport track they used to run the Cleveland GP at was like that and it produced a bunch of great races. Of course it was bumpy as shit which made the braking zones diabolical to get right. |

Cleveland GP was great because on there were no walls inside the track, and turn 1 was crazy. Drivers said they could see the entire field during the race. Also, there weren't 10 other identical tracks on the schedule. A few Tilke-tracks would be great because they would be different. Unfortunately I only forsee more and more of them. |

CART was an awesome series in that era. Perfect mix of super speedways, smaller ovals, road courses and temporary tracks. Remember that tri-oval they ran in Rio, the one where Turn Three was a tight second/third gear corner with a short braking zone from a +150 mph straight? 
That was a real He-Man track... ETA Here it is, trapezoid and not a tri-oval. That one tight turn after the long straight was a killer. |
