When you go across it at speed, you can actually feel the way it positions the car. For the start, it will feel like, well, like we're running over a yard of bricks. That's a long walk. It's going to be a matter of staying on the track, I think. For others, though, grip is a relative term.
Nobody complains about grip there.
Grip is a matter of car condition, not the circuit's condition. Sunday's race is likely to be a two-team race, as usual, between McLaren and Ferrari. Some of the competitors acknowledged that after Saturday's duel for the pole position between Ferrari drivers Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello and McLaren drivers David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen. Hopefully we can find Williams and everybody else behind us. Al Unser Jr. and Mario Andretti competed on the road course during Saturday's Porsche Pirelli Supercup Series, the first race on the Indy road course.
