Found an interesting "Alternate" Monaco race track made by a SIM racer. It looks interesting, but the parked cars and bicycles would probably have to go. | |||

Finally watching the Canadian GP. I don't think I can ever recall DRS being enabled on wet tires. Definitely fun watching the Haas pair on Ex Wets at the start, they were flying. Best race of the season, IMO, if not the last 2 seasons. Good scraps all the way through.This message has been edited. Last edited by: P250UA5, The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Yup, it was a decent race even though the usual narrative of MV being relatively comfortably ahead at the finish was the storyline for the top step of the podium. M-B showed good speed and perhaps this will bode well in upcoming races. McLaren again was fast. But Ferrari...double DNFs. Really didn't anticipate that happening, despite their poor qualifying efforts leading up to the race. -MG | |||

Here's another reason to take Alpine less serious, but remember, the sport only "needs" 10 teams... https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...0601935&m=4930026714

Alpine = Owned by Renault, IIRC. Definitely seems odd that a 'works' team wouldn't use an engine from their marque... The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Also seems odd that an entity with Nissan ties using hand-me-down Honda engines. -MG | |||

Nissan has pretty much been a French run organization for a while now. It's like how SIG Sauer is American instead of German. | |||

Isn't RBR going to Ford in 26 & Honda going to AMR? Or has that changed? The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
That’s right. The irony here is that when Honda decided to get out a few years ago, they handed the keys of their engine program to Red Bull which has become Red Bull Powertrains and soon to be Ford. The Honda corporate big whigs soon after did an about face and decided to re-enter and will be going up against many of their former colleagues as suppliers to Aston Martin. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

0.020 gap for pole. Good lap & good to see some real competition shaping up at the front. And Perez starting outside the top 10 after applying his penalty from Canada. If he doesn't start improving, that 1+1 extension may turn into just a 1. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

He shouldn't have got an extension in the first place. I have a feeling that Catalunya is going to be another boring round. This is a track that can lose it's date and I won't feel sad. | |||

Other than it being an extremely familiar circuit for all the drivers, I'd agree. If quali is any indication, maybe we'll have a good run at the front. Aston pace was a bit shocking, they're being slowly left behind by the front runners, it seems. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

The temps are supposed to go down tomorrow as weather comes in before the race. 70% chance of showers before the race but close to zero during. That still could have a big effect on the track surface and pit stop strategy. I think this was the race Fernando won years ago with 4 pit stops since the tire degradation is so high and a short pit lane. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

You have to bear in mind that he has the three place grid penalty because the team instructed him to "drive in an unsafe manner" back to the pit instead of parking it...to avoid a Safety Car which would have compromised Max's race. Then because he was already getting the penalty, they had him compromise his Q3 run to give Max a tow for the Pole No, Daoism isn't a religion | |||

I can understand why Stroll would offer Newey a king's ransom to come to A-M. They can't keep having these mid-season slumps No, Daoism isn't a religion | |||

Go to think Honda's getting a little nervous too. They do have a big factory upgrade soon but they also have only one driver to rely on at this point too unless Lance can be pried out of that seat somehow. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Fun end to the race, wasn't sure he was going to catch for the lead. 2nd year in a row, all 20 finished with no yellow flags or SC. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Also, looking at the relative race pace of the mid to back field. Sainz really doesn't have an easy choice to make. Sauber, hope the Audi deal is a Hamilton>MB level move. Williams & hope they keep moving forward, even though they haven't had the best race pace as of late Haas could be a decent option, Nico has been getting decent results out of the car. Alpine, maybe a sabbatical for a year would be a better option... Or, hope that Checo keeps delivering lackluster results & poach the seat if RBR has some 'escape clause' in his extension.

We're off to a snooze so far at Austria. The only interesting thing is after Flavor Flavio came back to Alpine, both drivers are now magically in Q3. | |||

I thought the first few laps were very interesting. I like that Piastri is not playing second fiddle to Norris and they had a great battle. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||
