It seems the track has been resurfaced to smooth out the bumps. Do a google search, few things come up.

I see that Bob has been hanging around with Webber:
Kubica says of Istanbul Park, "It's certainly one of the best modern circuits with some nice corners, especially in the first sector of the lap. The final sector is a bit Mickey-mouse, with some slow corners and is the complete opposite to the first sector, which means that set-up is a compromise. But there's also Turn 8, which is challenging and will be very interesting at the start of the race with a full tank of fuel!"

Johnny Herbert will be driver steward again for the second time after serving already at Sepang. Fine with me. Just don't give it to Hill again. He forgot to investigate Rubens tantrum in his haste to punish Schumacher. I wasn't impressed.

I'm dissapointed ( at least not impressed ) with this new offical track info with Webber. It's clear that they wanted to do something new and impressive, but I think they failed. It's too much camera moving, weird camera angles, and you can't get an impression of the track. Also I don't know why they always showing Webber's face when he's talking. It would be much better to show a simple onboard lap, with a little track map in one corner of the picture.

Red Bull have shown it for every race so far this year. There's a German version with Vettel doing the talking as well. But I seem to catch him calling the last few corners "Mickey Mouse" too. I think Webber's english is influencing his talking :P

Anyway I would rather Webber win it than Vettel, IF they are good enough to win it.
If Vettel win the championship this year, will he become the youngest f1 WDC?

Wouldn't Lewis also be the youngest double WDC if HE wins?
