Frankly Frankl - Intrigue upon Intrigue






You would have to be a very  good script writer to come up with a thicker plot. I've already mentioned the legal, illegal? secret tire test by Pirelli and Mercedes and the outcome is very much up in the air. Will there be a punishment of some kind, who knows. It is, in all fairness a minor matter. The big question is what will Pirelli do in the long term.  Regardless of who told them to make rapidly disintegrating tires-as in all the races pre-Monaco- As far as Joe Public are concerned Alonso needed 20 tires to do 300 miles in Barcelona. The rumor mill is already talking about the return of Michelin, a company I have always respected and who have been very badly treated by previous FIA boss Max Mosley.

Equally interesting and not entirely coincidental is Kobayashi's first test in an F1 Ferrari. Poor Felipe Massa could not be very happy about that even if he is looking out of his apartment at the blue Mediterranean.

Anyway, the teams are busy packing for one of their favorite tracks in Montreal which resembles a real race track far more than Monaco.

Lewis Hamilton is trying to figure out what he is doing wrong; he certainly did not expect to be out qualified three times in a row by Nico Rosberg. Neither did I.
