Canadian Grand Prix (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) 06/09/2013

Honestly, I can already picture the look on those poor souls from the back of the grid—probably some mid-tier outfit like Haas—just sitting there looking miserable at the start, while Ferrari, Red Bull, and Mercedes absolutely tear it up right in front of them... 😂

I’m anticipating a solid race. The US Canada circuit has always been one of my personal favorites on the calendar, and given its history, I don't expect this weekend to be any different. 🙏

I suspect Button might actually have an edge if the weather turns rainy. If it stays dry, however, who can say? 🤷

Hey guys... rain all weekend 🙂

Seriously, just our luck here in Canada 🙂

Speaking of the rain, where did the famous STINGer disappear to?

headed up to US Canada

Who exactly is he aiming at?

Don't hit the blue guys, don't hit the blue guys😬🤣

Ever heard of the famous STINGer? 🍿

And where might one find that noble STINGer? Is he perhaps missing from this discussion regarding such a prestigious sport? 🤔

Regrettably, my expectations place Vettel in the top three and Alonso within the top five. I find myself increasingly disappointed by Ferrari this season; they possess a highly capable car, yet they seem fundamentally incapable of converting that performance into meaningful points...

It is a frustrating pattern of one strong race followed immediately by one poor one... 🤣

Brian Campbell36 said:Where is that noble STINGer hiding? Not a single word about him in this thread on such a prestigious sport. 🤔

I've sworn myself to silence. 😁

Brian Campbell36 said:One good race, one bad one... what can you do? 🤣

So—Alonso is looking absolutely sharp in Canada. 😁

That was just the first act... now we’re looking at two disasters followed by one decent run.😁

Brian Campbell36 said:I’m honestly expecting Vettel to land in the top 3 and Alonso somewhere in the top 5. Ferrari has been a massive letdown this season; the car looks great on paper, but they just can't seem to pull the points needed to match that potential...

One good race followed by one disaster... 🤣

I’m actually expecting the exact opposite for Vettel and Alonso.

But hey, you aren't exactly far off. You could've just watched it live.

So many new pieces have already surfaced today. I can hardly wait for tomorrow's practice sessions. 👋

So that’s the line you're taking... freight after freight of new parts just rolling in? Honestly, wouldn't it be more efficient if they just sent one single shipment to get the job done? 🍿

By the way... here's the hourly weather forecast 🍿

Sebastian Vettel says the tires need to be swapped for safety reasons...

Man, 🤣
Today’s presser with the big bosses:
Paul Hembrey, Christian Horner, Ross Brawn, Stefano Domenicali 🙏🤣

Orders from the top.😁

I’ve got a feeling the Red Bull owner just got some threats from the boss at Pirelli—you know, the Bernie type—telling them to quit riding their ass.
They might as well just hand Mercedes-Benz custom tires during the first half of the season. At this rate, they’ll probably never even get a testing date that actually works for them anyway.😬

Lately, we’ve been getting these weirdly peaceful statements coming out of Red Bull toward Pirelli. It’s almost suspicious. Even that sudden defense of Ferrari is pretty interesting to watch.😁
Something is definitely going down.🤷

Besides that, it looks like McLaren ran their own Pirelli tests too.🤔
Jenson Button sounded incredibly cryptic and weird on that point. He kept dodging the question, acting like he was afraid to say whether what Mercedes-Benz was testing was actually okay or not.

Chilly, wet, and pitch black in New York City 😁
