The evo race 2 gp2 is getting underway, and here is everyone in the photos.

Starting from 9th and 10th? It’s definitely better if we don't see any rain.
Between having zero spray and having access to DRS, it makes a difference.

Temperature doesn't mean much then. At Indianapolis Motor Speedway, they usually find a dry line fast enough to run on slicks without any drama.

I'm out.

stormybadger8 said:Dry enough for slicks, which is all that matters.☕

Don't you think this would have happened sooner if the track temperature had been about ten degrees higher?

Alex Fowler5 said:Look, if the water isn't pooling and it stops raining, the track's gonna dry fast once those intermediate or full wets start doing their thing, regardless of the air temp.

The track will dry, obviously.
But there are certain conditions where drying happens much faster.

The conditions at Indianapolis Motor Speedway—high humidity and low temps—just aren't those conditions.

stormybadger8 said:If Indianapolis Motor Speedway had hit crazy highs like 70 degrees yesterday,😁
then the backmarkers would've been out on slicks in Q2 just minutes after the rain stopped. I mean, ten minutes later, everyone was already out there running on slicks in Q2...

But sure, let's just blame it on those extreme 70-degree track temperatures.😁

But what was the track actually like? Was it dry?

By that logic, places like Malaysia or even Australia would just stay soaked forever every time it rained. 😵

When track and air temperatures are low—especially when you throw high humidity into the mix—the surface is going to take its sweet time drying out. Regardless of any hills or inclines.

Is this even allowed?

I realize Romain Grosjean doesn't carry nearly the same weight as Lewis Hamilton, but how much longer must we tolerate this circus just to ensure Lewis Hamilton in that Mercedes can actually contend with Sebastian Vettel for the title?

And why am I even nitpicking this small detail when they’ve gone and tested thousands of miles illegally and gotten away with it completely unpunished... reminds me of how things work back home in the States.

No, but that's just Mercedes. 😁

As soon as the rain stops, boom, you've got a dry track in a lap or two. If Marussia and Caterham could figure that out in Q1, then god willing, even Ferrari can handle it.☕

A track that dries quickly. 😵

Common knowledge. 😵

☕. 😵

Tomorrow, everything is on the line.

Someone's dreams are the last thing to fade. Right there at La Source.
Let the neighbors bury all the cattle. 👋

Brian Campbell36 said:You and your nonsense; if things were actually playing out the way you claim, Fernando Alonso would currently hold a 40-point lead over Sebastian Vettel.

At the start of the season, you were right there with the rest of them, writing extensively about those "magical" Ferrari engineers and their supposedly unrivaled machinery.

In modern Formula 1, Ferrari is little more than a legacy brand—a name they cling to while focusing their actual resources on road car development for the mass market.

Frankly, I cannot view Ferrari as a serious contender when Talijancic realizes, after countless years dominated by aerodynamics, that their wind tunnel setup was fundamentally flawed—only to finally begin reconstructing it at the start of this year.

Furthermore, I would afford you much more respect as a contributor if you would simply admit that Red Bull Racing has possessed the superior package for years; quite simply, they possess the ability to engineer the most effective package at any given moment, guided by the finest engineer in modern Formula 1. ☕

Besides, you're just grasping at straws here.

Honestly, because of Lewis Hamilton, I’m officially pulling for Mercedes. 😍

Lik's balding faster these days. He's clearly trying to hide it.

Raymond Anderson4 said:Yeah, that was all about tactics. They stuck to the plan and pushed the pace, just hoping they'd find some better grip on the track.
Sebastian Vettel crossed the line just seven seconds behind the leader, but he wasn't giving up. He was fighting to shave off every possible millisecond, and it paid off—he actually clocked his fastest lap of the race during that final circuit.
If Fernando Alonso had just a little more time on his side, he might have snatched that final lap, but it just wasn't meant to be. Honestly, that's Red Bull for you—they’re exactly where they belong at the top.

Yeah—hoping the rain stops isn't exactly a "tactic."

Now, what Paul di Resta and Force India pulled off? That was actual strategy.
Same goes for Jenson Button.

Olivia Martin12 said:Where exactly are you waiting for him?

We're just waiting for them to arrive at Verara.

Raymond Anderson4 said:I honestly can't believe it... massive props to Red Bull for that tactical masterclass.
They absolutely earned those 2nd and 3rd place finishes.

Strategy. 🙄

We all know who the king is.

Lewis Hamilton, we’re waiting on you. 😍

Good grief. 🤮

Well, isn't that just great. Absolute nonsense. ☕

Nico Rosberg. 😲

Damn it. 😁

Everything will work out eventually.

Are you kidding me? He’s actually going with the option. 🙄
