I do catch up on F2 periodically so I know who is coming up to F1...but I just dont watch it much. Often just some highlights.Depending on the track, paved runoff is preferred as gravel could cause the car to dig in and start flipping as was the car with Zhou last year when he got flipped over the tires and into the catch fence when he slid in upside down.
Or they start skipping over the top of the gravel and don't scrub speed.
With pavement, the tires have something to grip and can scrub a little bit of speed off.
There are some tracks, like the Red Bull Ring, that also host MotoGP and Superbike, and can't utilize the gravel immediately off track without playing a major hazard to the riders.
The best thing they have right now is to utilize the track limits enforcement to discourage running wide.
Other tracks have tricks of their own though. Paul Ricard (France) uses highly abrasive surfaces off track which will damage the tires and shorten their competitive life.
Lando and George are my two sure bets. Everyone else just gets me a few points for overtaking or fucks me by DNF.
At least check out F2. They're in for another tight title fight. I'm keeping an eye on JPM's son, Sebastian. The kid is quick so I'm going to see him get a FP1 slot soon.
Academy was a little messy in Montreal. That wild card driver didn't do herself any favors by crashing in 2 of the 3 races. I was really hoping Lia Block would be better than she is.
Lia is ok yeah, but the rally cars are quite different.
