I know, impossible to say. I'm not sure how the scoring will be for our league either. Vettel is my only Renault in the top 10.

I'll be up at 0200 after working and finishing the 12 hour race in Sebring. I'm ready

My prediction for Sunday.

1 Hamilton
2 Raikonnen
3 Alonso


But then again. It's more of a realist wish...

Button might podium though, he likes that track. Idk why, because I think it's awful, but I digress.

And there's the rub. My input would not only be based on fact nor experience, it would also, as it does now, contain a good dose of my own opinion.





If I were to remotely entertain a sideline job in addition to my day job I doubt there is a spare minute available to do it justice.





As it is, between Monday and Friday and if it is a very normal day when I am at headquarters, I am at work at 7AM. If nothing untoward happens, and without issues arising, I leave for home at 7:30PM. Invariably I have to call into the store on the way home for last minute dinner things. We eat at around 9PM, spend a little time trying to catch up on each others goings on as husbands and wives do then head to bed around 11:30. It is obvious that going to races means that I work a lot of weekends, I also work weekends as a matter of course when I am not traveling so it doesn't take a genius to realize that anything I do outside of my commitment to my job and my wife leaves very little time for, well, anything.





I spent much of my younger years working a shit ton of hours going racing, I always imagined that I would be able to slow down later in life. The reality is that very rarely can you expect this to happen in my industry, slow down and you are history.

perhaps we should start an arfcom racing station and you could do comentary


 



Nah, there'd be 87 different opinions on the race, and it would devolve into one big call out thread.

I want to tread lightly having you as a contributor to this thread.  We're lucky, as you can imagine, to have an F1 team participant chiming in on the F1 2014 thread here.  Your perspective is unique.  Thanks for being on board.

Hulk on the podium would be cool.

I expect the Williams to do well, and if there's rain I'd place Bottas in the top 5. Without a single run in practice, I'll go...

1) Hamilton
2) Button
3) Massa

The app is free, but some features require premium subscription for $10.99. Luckily I had more then enough in Google Play credits.

Well, fail.



The announce the color coding as green, orange, red. That's fine.



Then the warning states it means Stop, Caution, Go. The exact opposite order.



As someone who's needed to write job aids for IT workers, this is exactly the kind of silly inconsistency that gets discovered just a bit too late.

Im wondering how many teams may not even race. Why risk a power plant, if you know your having major problems?

Also I predict at least 3 wrecks.

I can't imagine any teams electing not to race, that's just not in a racer's spirit. I'm sure we're going to see a lot of running in FP1 & 2 tonight to see where everyone is.

Sutil said there is as much as a 4-6 second differance between race modes and qualification modes.

so depending on fuel loads etc its gonna be interesting to see these cars race in anger.

Well 8 are starting with Renault engines. Merc is using an older front wing design as their new front wing design failed crash testing.

So, just an FYI, FP1, FP2, Qualifying, and the race are all on NBC Sports channel, and NBS Sports Live Extra streaming via the web or phone/tablet app.

SkyF1 isn't live yet but is showing some nifty videos.

If you are having troubles finding these, please PM me for further details on how to catch these.
