Well it's been fun. Today's practice sessions have left me anxious for the remaining sessions and race.
I don't think pole is vital to a win this season, although a top 5 qualifying spot probably is. With the tire degradation so significant, if the leader stays out for 1 lap too long...he's 5 seconds behind a driver that pits during the correct lap before the sudden degradation. Very interesting, especially if there are 3 or 4 pit stops each race.

You are a great addition to our banter threads!!

Thanks Dana! I don't think i'll be very active changing drivers all the time but I'm a Ferrari-fan. It doesn't matter if they win or lose, i'm still rooting for them

Quick Q about the new safety car rules: can the cars change tires now under safety?
