I really don't think this bodes well. Sorry to be the negative guy, but these boys should be shaking the car down. My prediction. We are finally going to do the low fuel load start.

Thanks for posting this.

I'm going home during lunch to watch the practice. I Tivo'd it.

Yeah, i don't understand this high fuel load strategy we've been using. It worked good for Kimi in Bahrain, but it hasn't worked since then. We gotta go low fuel & get up front on the grid in qualifying.

ugh - looks like it's gonna be another Fonzi vs. Shumacher battle again...

How come Speedtv doesn't show the GP live? Last couple of races it showed GP one week later! It is so annoying, I have to wait for 1 week to see a race that's going to be on Sunday! They prefer to skip perhaps the greatest motor sport in the world to show their lame car shows

MiamiAMG

There are a few races this year that are under contract with CBS. Coverage is much better on Speed, but i assume that they want to give F1 more exposure here in the USA.

kchristos

They show it on CBS?! I didn't know that, do you know what time they are going to show it. I looked at their webpage and couldn't find and GP shows.

Here is the 2006 schedule: https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-benz-motorsports-racing/139982-2006-formula-1-us-television-schedule.html

I don't know about that. Seems that Ferrari is using a LOW mileage tire. Yes, I know they gave it notice on the show, but did you see the shots of the left front on the Ferrari? Bridgestone might be able to go up a range for these guys, but it is my bet that they don't have a comparable intermediate. What are the rules for how many tires a car can have? Something like only4 changes? Feel free to correct me. Additional if Ferrari contuines with the low wing for top end speed, with balding tires, they are going to have crap long term trap speeds in Catalunya's long radius curves. (have ya'll ever seen me comment so much on Ferrari, I guess I'm trying to find fault as they are emerging with dominance.)

Miami, yeah, I too am getting pissed about them running high fuel, just so we can stop outta sequence. Too much weight to pass in the beginning, or during low fuel, tires are used up. Perhaps this strategy could work for a precise driver like Kimi, but JPM is just a shark on tires. Chews em up! FAWK! Lets let the boys in the pit do the work. Its not like we have Button's Lollipod guy in our pit.....

I think because of the tracks smaller layout we could see our boys prevail with a podium.

Cant wait to see Qualy tomorrow morning. Too bad I won't have internet access this weekend. Hell, I might have to go to a Starbucks to see what you guys say.

I dunno man.... I still think it's gonna be a MS vs Fonzi race again....

egxpimp

I'm betting on this race 1,000 on MS. ( if qualy looks good)

e1000

lol - damn Tifosi!!!!!!!!!!

egxpimp

hahaha it depends on BS stones new tyres... if its 1-2 Ferrari i might even up it (twice the amount-maybe 3 times-depending how much we get pole by) because i know fo sho its a a MS win !! ! Cant wait for qualy... right when he gets pole im going to place my bet so ill maxmize my winnings!!!

e1000

once Ferrari has pace they're tough.. They're better than any other team when it comes to race strategy
