SO, I have a wager (friendly, of course). Want in? Let me know. (text, email, FB message. Whatever)

Here is how the contest goes. On Sunday, May 25th, there are three great races happening in three different forms of Motorsports: Formula 1, IndyCar, and NASCAR. Pick the winner of each race. The person who has the lowest cumulative score of three drivers, wins.

Watching the practice now & this little stat popped up: Mercedes has lead every single lap this season. Damn, that's pretty impressive.

I disagree, both MB cars are doing well, that rarely (if ever) happened at RBR.

I think there is a lot more fighting not just up front but mid pack as well. It'll be interesting when we have 4-5 cars fighting up front... Which, honestly, I think is going to happen sooner than later I think.

I hate Seb. Not because of his dominance (I loved watching Schumi win every damn race.) I just hate the guy. I am SO glad RBR isn't dominant. I am glad to see Seb not do well.

I don't care much for Lewis, but better him than Seb. I like Nico Rossberg, and I'm glad to see him doing well (though I'm sure he wants to be doing better than Lewis.)

I do wish Ferrari would step it up. They have not been truly competitive in years. Step it up!
