Doing some preparatory work [sic] ready for the new season, I’m aware that I fell badly
behind with the stats for the last few races. AFAIK I haven’t posted the Qualifying
statistics since the Belgian GP, nor the Overtaking since the European. I have done
the analysis of qualifying and will post that shortly, while I should get the
Overtaking done tomorrow.
I also didn’t post any thing about Engine & Gearbox usage since Spa – I’ll review
the data and see if it’s worthwhile posting anything.
I hope to be posting all of the usual stuff from this coming weekend.

P1 was at an inconvenient time for me, so I’ve only just finished putting the times
together.

Notes: Jarno Trulli kicked off the new season in the returning Lotus [name only].
No incidents of note. As expected the new teams struggled – HRT managed only 3
installation laps for Bruno Senna, Karun Chandhok’s car was not ready. Lucas di
Grassi only managed two laps for Virgin, although team-mate, Timo Glock, did put
in as many as eight.
Some indications that Red Bull may suffer from heavy tyre wear.
Two topics that will run and run:
McLaren – stall wing, driver activated

And Big Bad Bernie’s "Orwellian" treatment of F1 history means bits of
what you TODAY think will be featured ISN’T actually what’s in these
hour-long contemporary reports.
e.g. The 1979 French GP – Renault’s first turbo victory, because
that’s pretty much all that race was in 1979.
Like people booing Senna at Silverstone every year – when last did you
hear of that occurring?
So come and pull my teeth out and threaten me with rats etc NOW

Shhhh…
Why not ask APLER for some help with your filters. He do something
unimagineable like tell you how to ignore posts that contain the
subject "2010 Pool".

Doing some preparatory work [sic] ready for the new season, I’m aware that I fell badly
behind with the stats for the last few races. AFAIK I haven’t posted the Qualifying
statistics since the Belgian GP, nor the Overtaking since the European. I have done
the analysis of qualifying and will post that shortly, while I should get the
Overtaking done tomorrow.
I also didn’t post any thing about Engine & Gearbox usage since Spa – I’ll review
the data and see if it’s worthwhile posting anything.
I hope to be posting all of the usual stuff from this coming weekend.
