think Ralf is tired of the US yet?

Poor guy...he shunts big time last year (although he doesn't remember it), and this year has a tire go down in almost the exact same place, and slams the wall again.

Evidently Michelin is flying in a new batch of tires for tomorrow, and the paddock is in disarray after 2 of the Toyotas punctured for no apparent reason.

It was amazing to watch practice as a bunch of the cars had too much downforce and were griding away the wood plank as they would go through turn 13 flat. They do something like 29 seconds of full throttle at Indy....crazy.

Oh man this sucks! Although, I am feeling less bad about canceling my trip to the USGP this year.

A Michelin driver should go out and run one lap to get some extra points.

What a frick'n joke.
