If there was ever a track for the Mercedes engine to show it's strength, this track is a prime example. Margin of victory (whether Mercedes/McLaren) over Ferrari/Redbull will be bigger than what it was in China.

Does anyone know why we have had a 3 week break only for this race to then clash with the Indy 500?

The usual Liberty Idiots at work.

I thought the same thing. It does seem like an attack on Indy500, indeed. At least Max took the opportunity to join the 24h of Nurburgring

Mercedes is likely to dominate but if Andrea beats Russell again, I wonder the effects on Jorge´s mind

Usually the Indy 500 shares the same date with the Monaco GP. Which was great as us Europeans could watch the F1, have a break/ get something to eat then start watching the Indy 500 build up.
This year with 2 races in North America we’ll be in the bizarre situation where we’ll have to turn off the Indy 500 and switch to the F1 race- madness!!

Yup, usually the best weekend in racing though the Monaco race is really qualifying. If I'm forced between the Canadian GP and the 500, I'm watching the 500.

I guess it´s better to stick with the Indy500, then

[CjC]

Can’t believe no one has corrected me. Now I’ve had some time to look into it, supposedly even if it’s a 3 hour race it might finish just before lights out in Canada

If Kimi wins again.... hit that panic button George. Kimi would officially be the scariest driver on the grid for me because he's only 19!!! Who knows what he could be like in the next 10 years.... I don't want to think about it.

Easy choice... Indy 500 all the way this year.

Did you read to the end of the thread before replying?
Nevermind, that was a rhetorical question, but this one is not: Did you read to the end of the thread after replying?

[De Wet]

Oops I did not. Stopped reading since I was going to watch Indy.

Apologies.

I dont think these cars are giving any kind of actual representative picture of driver performance, though. You really think George Russell, a top driver and who was convincingly beating Lewis Hamilton before Lewis left, and who beat Kimi convincingly last year, is suddenly, like legitimately like 3-5 tenths slower than this 19 year old?

These cars are just weird and the normal skill-based things drivers would do to get an advantage aren't really applying like usual.

Kimi had neutralised the deficit to George by Mexico. He was always going to improve rapidly, more than other rookies, given a lack of single seater experience. Kimi went basically from FRECA to F2 to F1 in successive years. When have we seen that before

As we can see now against leclerc, perhaps an old Hamilton isn't all that (plus the only convincing year Russell had against Lewis was after the latter signed for Ferrari)

If anything the previous formula was the 'weird' one in terms of relative driver performances, where some driving styles (eg Daniel ricciardo) simply did not work
