I love how the Indycar fandom (or at least those most prone to Racer comments and forum posting) has pretty much already completely turned on the idea of aerokits even when there's a mid-season update from Chevy, despite having just last year lauding how good it was to have mid-season aero updates again.
Now the only reaction is somewhere between "oh good more crap to break and fly all over the race track" and "what was wrong with the aero from 1980 they should go back to that" ad nauseum. Still easily, easily, EASILY the most fickle fanbase in motorsports.

Hell of an F1 qualifying session for Spain, with Hamilton taking the pole position among a sea of teammate battles.

Man, what type of run is Simon Pagenaud on right now? 3 in a row plus an average finish of 1.4 throughout the season so far. Man, the Captain must be getting flashbacks of Little Al in '94 with one of his cars being this dominant heading into the 500.

Was at the race today. Pagenaud is on a whole other level right now.
He ended up 11th, but Spencer Pigot was doing a nice job early in the race. Was hoping Daly would be able to steal the win at the end. Kimball and Hinch had a fun battle going a lot of the race.
It was COLD. Up in the stands it wasn't too bad, but then you go down below and the full force of the wind hits and it's like you run into a wall of misery.

It'll be between Vettel in the Ferrari and the Red Bulls today, I think.

The Williams team really have great pit stops, 2.3 seconds for Bottas.

Hulkenberg is out with an engine failure.
(Had to put out his own engine fire too, since the fire marshal sprayed himself in the face by accident)

Guess I'm not the only one wondering since it was the first in the list of suggestions from Google. The legal drinking age in Spain is 16, so Verstappen will be able to celebrate a podium finish.

Raikkonen is also in with a shot at this, as well... Hell of a finish coming up.

10 laps to go, Verstappen and Kimi fighting for the win & Vettel and Ricciardo battling for 3rd.
