    Zak looks to have gained 15 lbs YTD, his prep goal is 5 more lbs before Suzuka

    Hopefully Ferrari will have made serious fixes to their set up and design issues.

    Rumor


    So there's rumors flying that Colapinto will take the 2nd seat at RedBull......but only for Suzuka....for the time being.

    Correction:

    It was Racing Bulls and not RedBull.

    Sorry for the correction.

    yes, Yuki to Red Bull and Colapinto to Racing Bulls

    maybe we go back to referring to them as Stewart and Minardi to clear up confusion :p

    would also take some of the pressure off Doohan at Alpine

    My favorite track ever. Michael Schumacher still holds the local title as 'the dragon' here.

    Word is Ferrari and Mercedes both have upgrades. Ferrari have told some people that their rear end just isn't where it needs to be, specifically out of low speed stuff, so expect a sup-par Monaco this year from them.


    As far as the only team that can take Mclaren in the WCC, I am certain that is Mercedes, just because their platform is so incredibly stable this year, which no one has. Merc just need to add performance, and they can absolutely out-develop Mclaren, however they need to get on top of that in the next few races. Whether Merc do that in the last year of a ruleset remains to be seen though. Hope they do!

    10 October 2004, our last win (for now) at Suzuka... Fun fact: "The Dragon" Michael scored pole and win on the same day.

    If Ferrari is saying that they can't fix their car by Monaco, that is nuts. And that is two months and six races away. In the old days they'd have major fixes in Japan and a whole new car by Emilia Romagna and they'd be fighting for pole at Monaco. If they can't rapidly respond to the problems then the Ferrari and the entire sport is in a terrible state. If the FIA and F1 can't undo the mess they've created in time for 2026. Then teams should break away and start a new series.
