F1 should really think about allowing more ground effects instead of big wings. I think it would go a long ways towards achieving what they wanted with this year's rule changes.

Honestly, this year's changes were probably the best since I started following F1. Every year past, the changes were opposite of what they stated they wanted.
However, no amount of rules changes will overcome a track whose layout is not conducive to passing. Even the NASCAR guys would struggle to pass there. On paper it looks good, but after watching Sutil stuck behind Algasari (sp) for 5+ laps with absolutely no overtaking opportunities, it's pretty obvious the track is passing deficient. Scratch this one off the list, go back to US and Canada.

I agree with Adam, Singapore is a great backdrop but like almost all street circuits there is no passing. Sutil was a perfect example of that, he was obviouosly much quicker just couldn't get by.
I feel sorry for Rosberg, what a stupid mistake that was...
I'm also pretty sure Kimi has given up on the season as Ferrari has shown no signs of interest in honoring the mans contract. Maybe he'll perform at Suzuka just because he loves the place but I don't know. I think he'll let McLaren pass Ferrari in the Constructors just to be a *ick, and I don't blame him.

^ Yeah, ditto for Vettel. Speeding in the pit lane? WTF! Almost looks like everyone except for Barrichello wants Button to win this year. They're practically going out of their way to make sure of it. Although I guess some kudos to go to Jensen - going from 11th to 5th ain't bad. Also WTF to the stewards for making Weber drop two spots. Kimi pulled the same $hiz at Spa and got off without any penalty whatsoever. The stewards NEED to be trained.

And yes to ground effects but theyed need the tires to match.
Alonso confirmed at Ferrari for 2010 sry kimi. ok maybe not 45mill is a ton of money he'll be ok besides I'd like to see him back at mclaren he's a good driver that just needs on track motivation sometimes which I think LH could help push him and I want to see a real Alonso,hamilton battle at the front .
