Korean GP Track
Considering this was more a regional project than a national one, the oganisers did a fantastic job to get the circuit completed in time. (억... 찔려)

It looks an interesting track with an immediate character all its own. The few major faults are design ones. If Hermann Tilke is going to design Monaco-style sections to a track on virgin land, where he doesn't need to, then he should design in Monaco-style car recovery solutions.

And if you're going to wall in a very long straight with no run-off either side, then better to do it in a climate where it doesn't rain much during races or else you're always going to have to use safety cars when it gets wet.

Nice to see a lot of Korean children (all photogenic) in the grandstands for the opening race. In generations to come, after the event has become a classic, people will ask them what the very first Korean GP was like and they'll say "...what was that you said?" None of them had ear defenders on and so you fear that the first experience of F1 was frighteningly loud as well as wet. I'd be surprised, though, if everyone got out of the circuit car parks in three hours.

The Stewards
How much better is the stewarding this year now that drivers are getting involved? What Max Mosley resisted for years and Jean Todt implemented has been the single biggest change for the good in 2010. Today there wasn't a single thing you would argue the toss about, despite how busy it got.

관객대응에는 빵점에 가까웠지만 서킷과 운영에는 후한 점수를 줬네요. 둘 다 위너쪽에 위치하고 있습니다.


참고로 어제의 GP가 1960년 이래(2시간 규정이 생긴 이래) 가장 긴 레이스였다고 하네요. 길이로나 시간으로나.



그리고, 제가 앉은 자리에서는 잘 보이지 않았지만 피트 들어가는 길이 레이스라인과 겹치고 게다가 벽때문에 블라인드라서 흰색선을 밟으면 안되는 규정이 선수들의 항의로 어제는 적용되지 않았다고 하네요. 피트 들어가려고 속도를 줄이는데 블라인드 코너의 에이펙스를 향해 날라온 후방차량에게 부딪힐 우려가 있었기 때문이라고 합니다. 피트 출구도 직선 후 턴인포인트와 살짝 겹치고 게다가 블라인드라, 향후 레이아웃 수정이 있을 모양입니다.
