by Have a look at the circuit.
From 18 to 4 it is a McLaren circuit. If all circuits were like that
you'd give the trophies to McLaren and run the series for the places.
But, from 4 to 18 it's a Redbull circuit and if all circuits were like
that you'd give the trophies to Redbull and run the series for the
places. Combine both and Ferrari can interfere so this is actually an
ideal circuit to test the top three.
BUT ! it is not that simple. The circuit is green, very green and
greasy just look at the media to confirm that. So the team and driver
who forecasts the track condition best as it evolves and prepares and
sets up for it will win. That is not to say the pole sitter will win.
Macca have the best launch control, Ferrari are not tardy but
Redbull ... well. That's not to say it will be all over at turn one,
look at the run to turn 3 !!!!! Macca territory and Alonso won't
hesitate either. Failing that they have the run to four, so tuff stuff
for Redbull. However form four it is REDBULL in caps, race over unless
Hamilton in his lowdown force setup can keep up through the twisty
bits and use his advantage on the straights??? OR Button in his high
downforce setup can keep up through the twisty bits and plug the hole
and draft past ???
So all up it promises great stuff and it does not stop with the top
three, Bitsa, Nico and Rubins might want a piece of the action not to
mention the Killer and others lower down. So sit back watch and learn
and most importantly ... ENJOY.
I'd be interested in your take? Brad, Bird, AC, Frank?
