So where is the imaginary 15 km/hr advantage on the parts of the track unaffected by DRS?

So excited for this weekend. I'm not a Hamilton fan by any means but he's clearly a generational talent in the best car which unfortunately leads to many predictable (boring) races. Hopefully he doesn't experience a rough ride with COVID.

It's going to be great to see what George can do on short notice in the Merc. Can't wait to see the battles on track in an unusual format with a shuffled field and maybe some rain! Really looking forward to the George vs. Bottas battle like everyone else.

If it going to rain we should have a sweepstake on how many spins Verstappen will have.

That would be great news,a two pronged assault on Merc would be far more effective. Hulk looks more than capable

Actually that's not accurate. I know and correspond with 2 TPs on a regular basis.

I do find it strange that you always assume others cheat rather than get to places with hard work and by just being better than their competition.

Why do you think this way?
