Into Europe we go for a brief period two Races' which will in no doubt bring us very very few highlights of actual racing. I do not mind Spain too much as part of me actually enjoys the grind of the race. Do not get me wrong I would not want all circuits to be like this but of all the less interesting racing tracks I like this one the most.
Pole will dominate. Have we heard that before in Spain? Well barring mistakes and safety cars it is perhaps the biggest thing a driver can do to win a race before it starts here in Spain. Statement of the obvious. Yes, but even more so here than most other places.
Thank goodness for the new regulations we will of course get to see a different Spain this year with loads of overtaking the same ole same ole. Sorry still wondering what all the fuss people keep making of these changes. Nothing has changed, absolutely nothing as far as racing is concerned.
I guess the biggest question I have myself is will Mercedes make any progress with their car. What I saw in Miami was confusing to say the least. Sometimes it looked better than previous races others it looked dire.
I think as with pretty much every race so far it will be about Red Bull vs Ferrari. For me Red Bull have the better car. If Leclerc is to win the WDC and Ferrari the constructors they need to make some moves that get them closer to Red Bull. The only cloud in Red Bulls season has been the reliability aspect and Ferrari cannot count on that to continue.
The enjoyability of the racing is no worse than last year unless like me you are a Hamilton and Mercedes fan and to be honest its brutal. I am still in shock at how bad the team got this car specification wrong. I do not know much about the technical side of this sport but it seems to me to be a multiple combination of issues. I realize some of them if not most or all of them are inter-related but there is no hiding the engine is way down on power compared to Ferrari and especially Red Bull. I would like many enjoy a three way fight as this would make things more interesting but I dont see that happening any time soon.
Even though Forza revoked my Tifosi privileges I will be rooting hard for LeClerc and Sainz
Forza Ferrari.......
