The summer break is over, We have a race this weekend and it looks like it’s gonna be wet.

Making some changes this weekend in an attempt to make different strategies work.

So the pit delta will be 2.25 seconds faster?

Wonder how much that actually tempts teams.

Good for them both. Bottas should be fun to follow there.

Both are proven winners that have driven championship cars.

Seems to make a lot of sense if you want feedback improve the car. And are willing to put the resources behind the development.

I like the selections, should have the experience necessary to push the team forward. Haven’t seen the reserve driver named, hopefully they pick a young American to sit back and learn.

Cool video using Keanu to announce them.

That picture would look at lot more badass if they had been told to make serious, intimidating faces instead of goofy as frick forced smile faces.

Palou to Red Bull per Indystar

Per Trackside Podcast (featuring Kevin Lee and Curt Cavin- 2 very legit sources) Chip Ganassi is having a meeting with Indycar today to discuss Alex Palou leaving for F1

Ganassi denies the reports

Two things come to mind:
1. This report/rumor surprised me since there's been far more reports that Hadjar will take Yuki's seat next year while Arvid Linbald moves up from Formula 2 to Racing Bulls.
2. Isn't there some consensus that Colton Herta is the IndyCar driver most likely to move to F1 (assuming he gets his super-license)?

Colton doesn’t really care and is probably too old to make an honest go of it.

Talent wise I’d say he would be one of the best , but he’s pretty happy driving Indycars

Palou on the other hand, while he has said he wants a bunch of more Indy 500s and championships , is arguably as good as Max, Lando, Oscar and Charles and it would be fascinating seeing how he stacks up in equal equipment

On his day I think he’s the best in the world

I want to see Max, Palou, and Larson go head to head to head in something like an LMP2 car. I think Larson gets smoked, and I think Max comes out decisively ahead vs Palou. That's not saying Palou is bad. That's just saying Max is that good behind the wheel of any car.

No doubt, dude is a killer Indy driver.

Drivers who kill it in F2 don't always translate to F1 and F2 has arguably deeper talent and more difficult cars than Indy.

He wont be shite, but nothing I have seen makes me slate him in as a Top 5 driver in F1.

Bottas has one thing on his bucket list and it’s not a WDC, it’s a shot at the pinnacle, the Grandaddy of em all- 500 miles on a Sunday afternoon in Indiana
