Watching the drivers parade the grandstands are half empty , maybe they will fill up later
I don't think empty seats is something anyone's got to worry about, or tying to justify (in their heads) the final race shouldn't be in abu dhabi... It's completely sold out, something that other, historic race tracks can't boast this season.

And this is why nearly everything is grey. It ends up coming down to legal definitions.
It's a very fair point that there is a great deal of grey. I imagine all the cars are full of grey content, but this one is open and closed I think (hence no appeal and Horner even admitting it is for 'aero flex')Should be fun watching the redbulls battle through from the back, I can't imagine the stress levels Nico and Lewis are under, first lap is going to be so tense.

Hamilton to bog down on the start and get passed by 5 or 6 other cars. Rosberg storms off into the distance, Hamilton works his way back up but then gets a puncture. Someone crashes (Maldonado ) causing a safety car which bunches the field back up again. More desperate driving through the field from Hamilton gets him back up to 3rd place with 2 laps to go and only Felipe Massa between him and his world championship....
Can't make up my mind how this story finishes. Hoping for a Hamilton win though as I do believe he is the better driver.
While we are in fantasy land though, how about after the race it is announced that Hamilton is going back to McLaren and Alonso is taking his seat at Mercedes although ideally I would love to see Alonso and Hamilton in the same cars again.

It says you can't have a moveable aero device. I assume they have found a concealed element which is clearly engineered to allow and control movement. So you can conceal your springs with rubber, but not have springs on your aero surfaces (I assume?)
It's more a case that the spring is illegal and is therefore hidden. With a bit of preload it will keep the gap open until a certain load is reached and then collapse.
