Probably so. Guess I'm thinking of the Webber's podium appearance after last year's race. As fit as he is, he had to sit off to the side at one point...unless he was screaming obscenities out of camera reach for Vettel's overtake to steal the win.

Ford is using their Ecobost V6 in endurance racing (70% stock motor!). Would be great if they came back into F1 again.

Really looking forward to the race next weekend. I think it will be a really interesting and exciting race and it will really push the cars. I think they talked about how RB has a really tight aero package and how that can affect the cooling around the motor. Interested to see if they have overheating issues.

Heads up: Moto GP first race is this weekend in Qatar! Last season was amazing and I looked forward to watching those races more than the F1 season. Worth checking out.

The hottest, engine wise, is Hungary.

Yeah, I think their track temps (vs. ambient) are highest.

The 12 Hours of Sebring win was amazing for a new motor and new team. So happy to see former homeboy Scott Pruett on top of his game again at 54 years old, wow.

Yep, will be watching MotoGP. Those guys are nuts and the bikes defy physics. Great viewing.

Today's Google Doodle is rather good. Celebrating Ayrton Senna's would be 54th birthday.

I'm going to be watching SENNA later. If you havent seen it, it's on Netflix and it's well worth your time.
