Cadiallac and AM should just fold for the rest of the season. They are contributing nothing.

They basically have. Building for next year I’m sure of it.

Cadillac is building for the future

This was always going to be a year of just trying to get better



It was fun to watch as a spectator, but most of the passes were because of the lack of battery power not true skill

I know, but they are just so fricking bad. I mean, a min behind before the PIT and get lapped in a Sprint Race.

F1 is a different style of racing than IMSA racing and once lapped, should have to drop out.

Most commentators and people think they are a lot better than everyone expected

Last weekend was the first terrible weekend

Perez got lapped because he pitted after him and Alonzo decided to have a back of the grid collision

Aston Martin swears they have a B Spec car coming out soon.

Aston and Williams. Aston will need to fit the engine if that is the source of their vibration. Newey would seem to have no issue tanking the first part if it sets up next year with the car he should have built.

I think Spa is when they roll out the b-spec Aston.

Bin Russell crash in Q1, lets see if he gets back in quick enough with the repairs.

That was a weird crash

Looked like his front left was messed up before he hit the gravel

I would imagine Merc has adjusted their power deployment from yesterday and it might be causing some issues.

Merc seems to be showing just enough power to win races. They always have a little extra they can use.

This race has been fun to watch so far


I didn't love the outcome and was watching the kids broadcast but didn’t think it was all that fun or exciting.

My rule on sprints are the first five laps are all that matter. We had a few passes after that today, but that rule holds most of the time.

That’s a good rule for most races

First 5-15
Last 5-15

I'd be happy if the order was as it is now of Merc, Ferrari, and RBR 1-6.

That’s what the Sky sports team was saying as well. I missed it all I guess.
