Anyone else predicting a shortened season that possibly ends in Vegas? With what is going on in the middle east, it doesn't make sense to send the circus there in harms way. Might aid Max in reducing the number of points available this season.

Remember the Saudi race a few years ago when the oil prossessing plants in the background were being bombed during one of the practice sessions? I doubt they cut the season short, they may double down on some tracks and race them backwards Covid style and pass on tracks in the ME.

I only see the races cancelled if there will be a very serious escalation in Israel vs Iran, possibly an all out war.
I don't see that very likely right now.

I fear the team is 'playing up' this upgrade to keep fans and sponsors happy as part of PR.
Typical media strategy is to underpromise before and overdeliver after.

Remember, COTA is a sprint weekend. So the luxury of a typical 'setup buildup' of a normal race weekend is not available.

The concern I think I have is do they really understand the issues.

They've had correlation issues between their tools and the track. I think if they do have the 2 paired up it will be goodd - don't think faster than McLaren good but a step up. If they don't get that right I am concerned. The sims may show good signs but will they reflect on track performance and have they really fixed the correlation issues.

And it was about 600km shortest distance to the Yemeni border from Jeddah.

For Qatar and Abu Dhabi GPs they'll be on the other side of the Persian gulf about 250km or so from the Iranian coast but at least they aren't in the way of missiles... if the conflict gets much hotter then perhaps. It would definitely benefit Max if it happens.
