    Agree.
    High speed city tracks with difficult temperatures conditions are their new mantra it seems.
    And guess what, Ferrari will win this one !:D

    10 place penalty for a car damaged by a poorly prepared track is a good start to counter that.

    Yep, ridiculous that Ferrari is being held responsible for that!

    It could be interesting if Ferrari decided to play a little dirty. Enzo might crack a smile.

    Ferrari Should pack up for the weekend and sue of major safety violation. F1 is meant to be racing no an obstacle course

    Alternatively, they could grin and bear it, whilst trying to steal the 2nd spot in the Constructors Championship in the 2 races left. There is money at stake here, and no time to make tantrums. That's probably what Fred Vasseur is thinking.

    Looking forward to the race. The track lends itself to passing. Hopefully Sainz can make up some places, the raw speed is obviously there.

    And I'm hoping AM beats McLaren. :)

    I also watched the Team Principal interview... in all my years watching F1 at least for me this was the first time I witnessed this level of high emotions and tension.
    I also approved Toto's response to the "Black Eye" question..clearly there has been allot of hard work to get to this point and it is such a shame to witness FP1 have that outcome.
    The FIA should really take a deep look into this Grid penalty, I get it rules are rules but C'mon this was NOT Ferrari's fault..Thank goodness Carlos is OK.

    What will be the strategy to move Carlos through the field?

    Shouldn't be so hard. He has the pace and the track allows for pacing. DRS will fix that.

    I don’t think DRS will be as effective on this track. They even extended the zone by a few yards. It might help pick off three or four but after that it’ll be tough. Both cars need to finish ahead of the MBz.

    Thankfully that's not the way Ferrari works.

    I hope, Leclerc will lead the race for at least a dozen of laps to give Ferrari fans hope of competing with the Red Bull in the next season.

    ENZO would not have packed up correct, but he would not be taking it up the tailpipe either.

    Thank you. That's the problem right there. Thinking and working that way is the reason Ferrari is in the poor state that their in..
    If your not winning your losing. Last Constructors' Championships 2008 and last Drivers Championships 2007... Clearly working that way doesn't work!

    In 10 minutes we get the driver intro drive by. All the cars came from the Petersen Museum I understand.

    Quick, somewhat funny story.................... Wifey is flagging and communications at flag station 13.4, basically in front of the Flamingo. She stated the past two nights there has been some ding-dong dancing nude in his sixth floor hotel room above their station. Last night a female joined him in the buff.
    She stated she is "too busy to look." :D
