As always, looking forward to the Baku race.
I'm also sad that both F1 and IndyCar have races this weekend - which precludes their drivers from participating in the 24 Hours of Le Mans :(

I knw. I think it's been that way for a year or three, but yo'd think that a meeting of the minds would result in them realizing that everyone benefits from not 'fighting' over this weekend.

MotoGP is off this week, so that tells me it's possible...

I 'watched' a DVR replay of the race.

My first thought (that I was reluctant to iterate going into this weekend): The initial Alfa-Romeo concept was successful in terms of the first few races. However, as the biggest Bottas ran on this board, the fact that he started 15th and finished 11th on a track that he's *owned* in the past, along with their finish in Monaco, indicates to me that AR has failed to keep pace with the rest of the field in terms of development.

It's too bad, because this year was shaking out to be something special - but it looks like it's going to come down to a reliability battle between Ferrari and Red Bull. Hopefully I'm wrong. We'll see...

Boy was that AR pretty this weekend, though.

But you are correct, it was indeed a sharp livery. :thumbup:

In that case, it doesn't look like Red Bull has anything to worry about. :irked:

Well, they were having 'fuel pump' problems (initially). If they've 'solved' those problems, then you're correct. If they crop back up...then who knows.

I was just basing my comment on the fact that every single thing with "Ferrari" in its name cr@ped out in Baku. :irked:
