I've got a feeling Vettel, Alonso, Webber, and Hamilton are gonna be running on fumes by the end of this race.😬

Out of everyone at the top of the grid, Alonso is sitting in by far the worst spot.
If they already blew it in Q1, why on earth would they push in Q3 when they know they have zero chance? To me, it looks like they're just playing to the home crowd, and I honestly don't see how smart that is.🤷
It seems way smarter to look at the veteran over there—he gets to pick his tires, he’s got a fast car, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he finishes ahead of Alonso.☕
And hey, the guys from the US networks have a point. He hasn't got a single set of fresh rubber, and he's stuck on the dirty side of the track. Vettel didn't even have KERS, yet he still looks satisfied; he isn't whining about it or acting out. Honestly, he looks more confident about winning than Webber does.🤷
He'd probably be happier in 3rd, but who knows? Maybe he pulls a fast one on Webber at the start. 🙂
But hey, Kovacic is ahead of Ricciardo. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Happy for Lotus.🙂
And for Maldonado. 😁

and honestly, seeing them absolutely demolish everyone else during qualifying is just wild.

Vitaly Petrov, Pastor Maldonado, Heikki Kovalainen, Nick Heidfeld.... nobody is giving us a fighting chance 🙂
Joshua Doyle11 said:But really, what else can you actually expect from the FIA?
It’s basically their signature move at this stage, something we've seen play out countless times before.
Edward Mendoza35 said:I’ve heard a lot of talk and scrolled through plenty of old articles, and from what I can tell, Mr. Siftar isn't writing nearly as much as he used to. It makes me wonder—for those of you who followed his stuff back in the day, what was he actually like as a critic? Is he still a big deal?

Roger Wright94 said:Hold up. Jenson Button pitted first, then Lewis went in around lap 20-25. The SC didn't come out until lap 50.
Does that mean Button was almost 30 laps ahead of Lewis, sitting in P4 or P5?
And you're saying the SC saved them from looking messy on execution.
Since Lewis made that mistake again while battling Alonso, I've gotta say Button handled the USA race better than his teammate.
I'm still hoping Hamilton can snatch some points away from Red Bull, but he’s been pretty unreliable lately (though I'll hold out hope for Las Vegas).
