Even with throwing together not really matching statistics, and coming up with a pretty arbitrary amount of 1 and 0,5 seconds to account for DRS in qualifying, his article is not really convincing.

Well, if the finish is anywhere near as close as the Indy Lights race today was, it will be a shocker! 4 wide over the line, winning by a couple of centimeters!

@spawinte If you’ve drawn the conclusion that drivers of the calibre of Dario Franchitti or Scott Dixon or are “accidents waiting to happen” then I don’t believe you “really truly honestly” have given it a chance. […]

@spawinte I don’t get why people scoff at IndyCar like this. They have some excellent drivers and great racing. They don’t have DRS and every race doesn’t end with a row about whether the tyres were too soft. And […]

I read several people reporting that Hankook is now interested, after having […]

@Kaiie, I have added a link to a (Kimi-fan) FB page who translated information on that from a finnish newspaper in my comment above, could you check the link to the likely source of that (its in Finnish, I just […]

Yes, that is indeed the case – seems as a result of that Kimi will tape over the text part on top, so he can use the design – https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=588140747897252&l=b09de24d2e the source for […]
