Sergio Perez is absolutely flying right now. Honestly, at this rate, we might see just one podium spot up there, with Finger and two Saubers fighting for the rest...

Today’s all about my Mexican roots: I threw a few bucks on Novak Djokovic and put some action on Mexico playing against Denmark... 🙂

Lest we forget last year, when Vettel sat third in the standings and snatched everything right from under the noses of both Webber and Alonso.

Anything could happen to Vettel—he could have another "Black Friday" disaster, or perhaps some driver might accidentally clip him and puncture his rear right tire; at that point, anything is possible.
Let us just wait until tomorrow morning; by around 10:00 AM, we will finally have our answer!

A single point means finishing tenth. If he doesn't manage to land at least tenth place tomorrow—which, let's be honest, there's a 99.99% chance he'll crush it and grab a podium spot—he still has four races left to scrape together one lonely point. Is anyone seriously sitting here doubting him?

Is there actually a group out there for people who support Bernie’s spray tactics?
I mean, come on—wet track versus dry track? It's not even a contest... 😁

The commentator starts blathering about how a Safety Car might be coming out, and right on cue—as if they were reading the script—a Ford Explorer just wanders onto the track. Talk about perfect timing, right? 😛

Keith Rodriguez27 said:Beyond the fact that Red Bull's are convincingly faster than everyone else on track during qualifying, what makes it even worse is that their massive advantage isn't just because the rest of the field is mediocre or downright terrible. Luckily for us, the Formula 1 championship is decided by races, not just qualifying sessions. And of course, assuming Red Bull's "lucky" unreliability in races—for whatever reason—is the only thing keeping this season from being a total blowout after 10 or 15 rounds. Plus, since Red Bull's race pace doesn't actually match their qualifying speed, I don't think we'll see a dominance quite like Brawn's last year, mostly because their driver lineup is "weaker" compared to Brawn's. To me, Sebastian Vettel still seems too inexperienced and prone to mistakes compared to other top-tier drivers. Then again, Mark Webber isn't exactly world-class either.

Basically, it feels like compared to how much Brawn dominated this time last season, there's a better chance now that Red Bull will blow their speed advantage during the actual race, giving one of the other contenders a shot at the top spots. But for now, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber are the clear favorites to win, provided it doesn't rain (or some other weather chaos hits) during qualifying or the race.

Like Stinger suggested—just install some sprinklers and hook them up to a timer that goes off randomly. Every single race would be a thrill ride... 🙂

Michael Lee4 said:You’ve got Sky Sports and you aren't using this? Screw HD; this setup is worth way more than just image quality alone.

On my PC, I’ve got local news running via my tuner card, but on the main TV, I’m strictly glued to the live timing and the cockpit cam.

Look, I have a mountain of satellite cards at my disposal—including a full Sky subscription—but I always ended up sticking to the HD feeds. The problem was, whenever I tried to switch things up, hitting that green button wouldn't even bring up the sub-channels; it would just dump me straight into a list of plugins... 😉

Michael Lee4 said:So, on ESPN (it used to be HBO)... you just hit the green button on your satellite remote and boom, you've got five different channels at your fingertips—the main race, the cockpit view, the Silver Arrows feed, live timing, all that good stuff...

Man, I was sitting here wondering why my setup wasn't working! It works, sure, but it’s just the standard channel, no HD or anything useful. Thanks for the tip, though; I'll definitely be putting this to use once football season kicks off this summer. 🙂

Michael Lee4 said:Even over on the German Sky Sports, they have this whole dedicated channel just to track the "Silver Arrows"... and even there, it’s Rosberg on screen, not Mike.😬

Which channel?

Look at them, just hanging out on that bus platform. It’s windy and overcast as hell, but so far, we haven't seen a drop of rain...

Michael Lee4 said:It honestly looks like someone’s holding a gun to her head forcing her to get married. 😁

I bring it up all the time, but she just brushes it off. 🙂
As for Kimi, what can I even say? I wasn't shocked by Massu, but seeing mistakes like that from _Iceman_... man...

Michael Lee4 said:Rocky, are we really the only two outcasts left watching this thing? 😁

Tell me about it. My wife says the exact same thing to me. 😁

Roger Garcia3 said:I'm all set for race day—are you guys? 😉

Pistachios, beer, snacks... just a whole lot of snacking... 😁
