Trulli out, Chandhok in for German GP

http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2011/0...s-for-germany/

Now this is interesting. I wonder if Lotus is actually trying to replace Trulli, or if they are just giving Chandhok some seat time in preparation for a possible race seat at the Indian GP? Either way, interesting stuff.

F1.com says that DRS activation zone will be from the exit of turn 11 to the chicane. Seems like an awful long distance? Coupled with the front straight right after, i predict another orgy of overtaking like Turkiye

Currently yes, but we should wait till actual race.
FIA can still chance the DRS activation point to a later point if they felt the "delta-speed" is too easy to overtake or not safe enough for drivers to slow down for the chicane.

For example, during Chinese GP, the DRS activation point pushed further back on the long straight before the race.

Maldonado in braces... certainly that doesn't help his image.

But Petrov in that picture above looks to be growing up.
