Tarzaan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I'am really afraid about Volvo's tactics in Katar. I mean i see a real chance to they make sure Norbi not score any points in the first race especially in he qualified well .

I slight touch might be enough just like Guerrieri did in Motegi.

That is racing. You can't avoid. Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

And I'm sure Volvo are afraid of Honda's tactics too...

The more pertinent question is: Who do we think will win?

Whilst it's great the near-pensioner is returning, I'm torn because of poor Nestor. Once he got up to speed, he had to play team back up and now isn't driving in the last race.

To add Muller would have made sense. To have him replace a driver who's been in the car for the entire season is just weird...

Only the main race will be live here in Poland, also on Eurosport 2 not the main channel. Top level promotion!

Im guessing Muller has more experience with the track hence the change?

Go Norbi!

Norbi won both free practises with a lap record in the second one.

No comment about Nagy (99) driving, but why did they summon Szabo (66) to stewards with ''Forcing another driver (off track) by (an) unexpected driving manoeuvre and causing a collision''?
If I remember crashes in TCR this year when some driver forced other to avoid him, driver who tried to avoid crash, but end with crashing with someone else never get any penalty or are summoned to stewards.
