Sound logic overall. I think the one wild card in there is the hypersoft tires -- we haven't seen those anywhere yet so don't quite know how the different chassis will react to them. Even if they're just good for one lap, the quali lap is always the most important of this race so I think we may be in for some surprises. That is, if strategists don't do boneheaded shit with pit stops that cost someone the win (a la the last two years).

Suppose it depends if anyone decides to actually use the hypersoft tires.

Holy cow, I can't believe I completely forgot about this UMW F1 thread. No one may remember me, but I'm back! Hahah.

Hypersofts look really nice on the Force India.

It almost looks as if they planned the colors to match exactly!

Hey Cody, I think I lost your phone number somehow so letting you know here -- my dad and I are going to watch Monaco at the Three Lions British pub in Shorewood on Sunday morning. I think we met up there for a race last season -- any interest in joining?

I'm going to post in the main forum too but nobody pays attention to stuff like that over there and so I don't expect anybody will respond.

Speaking of, FB reminded me this was the weekend we did that a few years back. Along with making 11's in the parking garage with Kim in his M3.
