Some bold predictions about Ferrari's dominance over Red Bull. Especially when tyre choices are not announced and weather uncertain. RB were fine last season and Alonso between them shouldn't have happened. Also Canada was an example of how lobbying for conservative choices works, in an era of high deg tyres DiResta could go for 56 laps. As I said: mediums on all but street tracks They should go for hard-soft.
Any bets on Mercedes exclusion from the race , is it even an option? [it's no going to happen]. Everything should be more or less the same, maybe comparatively towards Ferrari and Lotus. Silverstone will be a good yardstick if the latter is in trouble.
Lopez is lately v. vocal in the press and sounds rather panicky while not making much sense. Firstly they decided they'd rather overpay one driver instead of spending money on car development, then they decided they don't need two drivers in the beginning of the season, finally they decided they don't need technical director in the middle of the season. What can possibly go wrong? It looks like Allison left not only without a contract but also without a clear destination. It didn't look like planned event from either side.
Having said that they should be fine in Silverstone or mighty fine with "the device's" debut They're not going to run it, just test, right?
