They've been having concerts with contemporary artists for a few years now. I think they may have started with Singapore. Austin has had a fab night concert since it started hosting.

Nothing wrong with concerts but how about having artists that the people attending and paying the exorbitant prices to see F1 might actually LIKE?

Unless you're a 12 year old girl, I don't see the appeal of their choice and I can't imagine many of those are at F1 races.

It was miserable to watch qualifying today. It was more boring than the old days when they had a full hour and Schumi would go out, set a time, and then get back to pit lane.

It hurt to watch that no one, not a single team was willing to fight to the end to upset the time set by the Q3 session leader.

Missed that but not surprised. Too bad they mess with the one part that wasn't a problem.
Overslept and by the time I got up it was too late to get to Sebring for the start. Now having a lazy day!

Of all the things wrong with F-1 why did they have to mess with the one thing that wasn't broke and was well like by most...??
I predict this new "improved" qualifying method will soon be scrapped.

At least the race was pretty exciting. You know Lewis was stamping his feet in the car when the Scuderia jetted past at start. And Haas in 6th? They're the biggest winnners of the weekend really.
