#F1Chat Preview: Watching paint dry…and asphalt harden
What are we Formula 1 fans to do between races and during slow news weeks? We had a test of our fortitude this week. Santa and his elves must be busy building PlayStations and XBoxes, and burning copies of the F1 2010 game, to fill the Christmas stockings of good little Formula 1 boys and girls. Anything to keep us entertained and well-behaved as we endure the upcoming winter.
But never fear. Even during weeks of slow news there is at least some news — and a few interesting topics for this week’s #F1Chat. So here we go:
The inaugural Korean Grand Prix is Sunday. A “rush job” to say the least. No doubt we (or 88%+ of “we”) agree about that. So could Korea crumble? Literally? Are you nervous about the condition of the circuit itself? Or do you anticipate a successful first run and a race that will begin to separate the best from the rest?

It seems that McLaren is now focused on 2011 and The Car of Next Year. Your thoughts? Is this a good strategy? Or is hope alive with Lewis or Jenson surprising us in the home stretch?
What? The incredible “Hulk” without a seat next year? “Williams delaying final decision”. Do you anticipate Pastor Maldonado winning the seat as rumored? Does Nico H. have a future in F1?
Lots of interesting chatter about Mark Webber. Will he or won’t he? A seat in a Red Bull next year? A reversal of 1 and 2? Or more contention on and off circuits with RBR’s “golden boy”?
And what about Virgin Racing? Richard Branson renews his commitment to the team. Lotus is coming into its own. We understand, excuse and forgive HRT. But what about the Virgins?
