On behalf of all of us who might actually be out riding our bikes today, this is a polite request to avoid any spoiler thread titles.

Tell you what, rather than you telling lots of people what they can and can't do on here, surely its simplar if you don't log on? Why should 100's of people be made to chagne their life for 1 persons wants. Selfish or what

you missed a crash on the first corner and on one lap someone nearly overtook someone.

Button and Hamilton stopped halfway through lap 15 and had a stand-up punchout. Button lost and had to be hospitalised.

You can tell people are making this up, far too interesting for it to be F1 !

Just stay off the interweb until you have watched the highlights or whatever if you really do not want to know the result.

My mother in law won't stop talking so I can't keep up anyway.
From what I gather there's loads of blokes in cars.

Been watching F1 since 1985 ("Our Nige" winning at Brands Hatch on a black and white telly
). Seen some boring races over the years but christ this is boring... Bring back re-fuelling! Never thought I'd say that.

Not a great start to the season

Why does a knackered exhaust reduce engine power? Is it something to do with the air pressure through the system?

This race is mind blowingly boring, I bet Vettal will have a face like a slapped arse after this race, boohoo! haha.

Should have extended my ride.....

I watched it with my 3y.o. jumping onto my belly and shouting "It's fun!". Better than the racing (was there actually any?).

Yep, counter intuitively, back pressure can actually help the engine produce more power. Imagine a slug of gas moving along a pipe at very high speed, now close the valve behind it, The 'pressure' (vacuum) moves along the pipe at approximately the speed of sound. If you get the lengths right you can use this vacuum to suck the exhaust out of the next cylinder and close the valve after it.
Also you don't want the cylinder completely empty of the exhaust when your not at full throttle, leaving a small amount of exhaust gas in there reduces engine temperatures and fuel consumption. This is normally done with an exhaust gas recirculation valve, which feeds the exhaust back into the inlet manifold.
That's why most big motorbikes and super cars often have a 'power valve' (or other trade name) which keeps pressure in the exhaust below a certain set of conditions (usually something like full throttle and 75% engine max RPM).

+1. I don't think I will be missing any rides to watch any races this year.
