    2023 - Race 6 ITALY E DELL'EMILIA-ROMAGNA

    Couple week break.

    After Max dominant win in Miami really shows there is nothing stopping him unless reliability problems happen. Checo is having a fine year, but doesn't look like he will be able take the fight to Max to make it a Rosberg/Hamilton fight.

    The only hope it seems for a spicy championship is if Mercedes upgrades they are bringing somehow changes equation. Wolff is tamping down expectations. But it would be good for F1 if Mercedes nails it.

    Probably the most interesting thing to watch now is the Aston Martin/Mercedes/Ferrari battle for 2nd. Though Ferrari just does not look good.

    That is an improvement on your usual post, keep it up. Well done.

    One of my favorite tracks.
    The weather is usually cooler than the other places if I am not mistaken. If so, who would benefit from that?

    Possibly Ferrari?

    Quite a few rumored upgrades to take place, and a track that can sometimes give surprise results. Right now it's going to take major steps for anyone to challenge RB, but the next three challengers have a lot of wiggle room to grow and come out on top.

    Right now I think the real fight is going to be for second. And Ferrari are screwing it up enough to possibly end up at the bottom of the mix long term, so it might be up to Merc to continue the battle and take it to AM. They are a lot closer than it seems to many, and though Alonso is tough to crack under pressure, Lance might be much more vulnerable.

    Marko has said that Nick DeVries has been given a yellow card. Needs improvement or will be given a red card.

    No it's 100cm. Turn the wings upside down and it's a hydroplane race. The weekend could be more interesting than thought.

    As it happens , I do . Nice catch .

    But , it's still a whack of rain on a region already soggy .
    The banks of a local river are breached , and a number of roads are closed in the area .
    They closed and evacuated the paddock because of the rising levels because some other routes out were closed , which makes it desperately hard to get the circus set up .


    On a side note , Pirelli have introduced a new full wet tire all ready to go into service .
    That's nice timing .
