EDIT** Just looked up the weather, should be an interesting weekend. 102F (39C) projected for Friday, then 90F (32C) with scattered Thunderstorms on Saturday, and finally 78F (26C) with Rain and Thunder on Sunday. Unpredictable weather might mean more unpredictable race?
Weather will almost guarantee a HAM victory. He's won the last 10 rain affected races if my memory is correct.

On the highlighted portion: I would hope that we, as fans, can wish for the competition to increase their competence rather than the class of the field stumble. While a W is still a W, there is no glory in beating a downed opponent, only a hollow victory.

SF and RBR need to up their game. McLaren is on the mend and will be much closer to the sharp end of the grid by the end of the year.

Better racing with stronger teams, not winning because of failure. HAM's victory over LEC's failure at the beginning of the season is not what we as fans should want to see.

Cheers-mk
