Oh man... Are we going to see 2002 all over again? I hope the other teams step it up! Granted, some teams like BAR/Honda have, but McLaren was pathetic! I like the manual start though, way more exciting- it weeds out the hotheads... *cough*Montoya*cough*...

Too bad about Webber's retirement, he was running a good race.

Do all the teams have their new cars yet?

I'm pretty sure they all do, because of rule changes.

Are there any major rules changes that really affect the design of the cars? The changes I'm aware of mostly deal with electronics -- like no launch control, no fully-automatic gearboxes, traction-control allowed...

The one engine rule, plus the rear wing was reduced to two main elements, from three.

Nothing, then, that would keep a team from running a modified 2003 car...

I guess not but I think they're all running new cars.

Bump for this weekend's race. Wonder how the new circuit will be? The teams that run get to three cars on Friday will have an advantage, I think.
