Round 6 and we’re back to more familiar territory- Spain. The teams know the circuit like the back of their hands, so expect a lot of upgrades. No real clues from pre-season testing as it was a Mercedes 1-2 (!), but my money is again on Max and Red Bull, who really seem to be coming on strong. Ferrari is due its first major upgrade, will it be enough?
Here’s to another great race.

Another Max win IMO. They seem to have sorted the glitches - as long as they do not dial it to no.11. Quick car, quick driver, no throttling...race win!
Agree with this, frankly, I think Ferrari were lucky to get both drivers on the podium in Miami. If Perez hadn't had engine gremlins I think RB would've had a 1-2.honda_exige said:
Think this will be a Ferrari track, so CLC to win unless he had a brain fart.
Plus I think there's a large car update coming for Ferrari.
I dunno.. max and the RB looking pretty solid now.Plus I think there's a large car update coming for Ferrari.
If the Ferrari update is effective then that would be very exciting for the championship battle. Their history of in season updates working as planned isn't great though. I think it was 2017 they started with a good car and updated it into a dog, then gave up and reset it to original spec for the last few races and it was good again

Ferrari and Aston Martin will both be significant, according to the rumour mill. Aston effectively a B spec car.Plus I think there's a large car update coming for Ferrari.

Whoops, although rather this week than next. Can imagine he’ll be sheepishly asking the factory if they can please knock up a big rear wing for a 1974 Ferrari F1 car!

Brake failure apparently. He does seem to have the worst luck whenever he races in his home town. It doesn't help that the media guys make him the star of the show everytime..
Hopefully this year's GP weekend will go smoothly without a shunt or his team taking him out in Q1 when he could easily have set a faster time...

AHH well that saves some blushes at least.

And if he does have a minor car/wall interface situation, change the gearbox no matter what. He does seem to have the worst luck whenever he races in his home town. It doesn't help that the media guys make him the star of the show everytime..

Thankfully, they have changed the reliability rules on gearboxes this year, they have 4 for the season so it’s not an automatic penalty for changing it. (Rule 29, in case you were asking)
