Amanda Kelly said:So you think Spain is the key? Sure, on paper, this looks like a win for Ferrari. I’m guessing the tire strategy is going to be just as much of a gamble as it was back in Spain.
I just can't wrap my head around the idea of us seeing four pit stops again. Word on the street is the track surface isn't nearly as abrasive this time around, and since the pit lane is such a slog—we're looking at about 25 seconds in there—it feels more like a two or three stop race to me.
So, now we’re left wondering: what's the deal with the upgrades?
Three weeks have flown by, and I’m betting we’ll see a decent haul of upgrades soon. I'm honestly curious to see how Lotus plans to play this. We might get an official word from Pilastradamus tomorrow.
Don't forget how much Red Bull has owned this track over the years. It didn't happen by accident. This circuit just plays right into their hands. It’s clear that the layout rewards exactly what makes them elite: their damn aerodynamics.
Beating Red Bull at Indianapolis would actually matter more than just taking the win itself.
It’s about time Ferrari actually starts using Massa for something useful. And I don't mean just picking up easy points to pad the standings—I mean putting him in a position to actually fight for podiums.
Look, it all comes down to one thing: neutralizing Vettel’s advantage. If Alonso can somehow pull ahead, that win would be the ultimate prize—a glimmer of hope in this whole fight. But if Vettel takes it? We're probably looking at the championship being decided before the summer break even hits. I'm talking about the next two real tracks, especially this upcoming one.
Alonso drove a hell of a race in Canada. I’m looking for actual consistency here, not this constant back-and-forth speculation.
The whole Webber situation is pretty interesting. I’m expecting even less patience for Vettel from here on out.
Lotus showed up with open DRD air intakes and a different
monkey seat. Just a hunch, but maybe we'll finally see that DRD in action. Even if it's just during some free practice sessions.
Ferrari already debuted a few minor tweaks today. Front brakes and the rear wing.
Mercedes also arrived with a slightly modified rear wing.
McLaren turned up with new decals. 🤣🙏
McLaren is interesting to watch.
The MP4-27 was incredibly fast at the end of its run.
The MP4-28 is basically just an MP4-27 with pullrod front suspension.
The MP4-28 is a disaster—one of the worst McLarens in years.
And the worst part? They aren't fixing it.
It was a somewhat similar story with Ferrari last season.
The F2012 had issues too, across the board.
Then suddenly... the Italians pulled it together. After race five or six, the F2012 actually looked decent, and Alonso climbed to the top of the driver standings.
But then again... those Italians can be sloppy, disorganized, and defeatist.
Something is rotten at McLaren. I doubt the current lineup can fix things enough to get them back to where they belong.
Regardless, tomorrow we finally find out who actually worked over the last three weeks... and who was just coasting.
