I’ll say form out of testing in Barcelona post race indicates the silver arrows will be the car to beat based on how well they were doing in the last sector in Barcelona. I’ll be hoping for a good race. Indy500 is the same day so that Sunday should be special.

Voted Lewis


Quali will probably end up being the exciting part of this one.

Based on form out of practice so far I think Lewis is driving his heart out for Niki. I think he’ll win this. But in my heart, I’m a Honda guy and I’m pulling for Max to take the win.

I'm going Alex for the WAG. Okay, so it's not really a vote for Alex per se, but more of a vote of alien attack.

Red Bull and Toro Rosso are doing so well with the Honda engine; it's quite impressive. Just goes to show that McLaren's problems went way beyond the Honda engine like they always whined about, and it was/is the car design and overall operations that have major deficiencies. I know they had more time to develop since year 1-3 with McLaren, but I still think McL were making excuses blaming Honda for all their performance problems.
