    That 46 looks very good on the F1 Mercedes, though...

    hopefully we can find out what tires LH was using. thats always been the sticking point for mortals riding GP bikes. GP "cold" tire temps would be hot and sticky for non-GP slicks.

    i bet LH was using non-GP Michelin slicks.

    I don't remember if I read it on crash.net or somewhere else but they said he was using non-motogp slicks. They are actually softer than the motogp tires and are not as sensitive to temperatures.

    Edit....the tire comment is in this post:

    Hamilton's ego is probably too big to admit to "taking a dump and tossing the bike into the gravel trap." Instead he "went for a spin" whatever the hell that means.


    In other news, Rossi is off to bigger and better things racing the Kessel Ferrari with Uccio and Luca Marini this weekend at the Gulf 12 hrs in Yas Marina Adu Dhabi....

    They won their class. Also of interest, Capirossi raced too. I watched a little bit of it. http://www.gulf12hours.com/2019/12/14/maiden-victory-for-audi-at-gulf-12-hours-in-abu-dhabi/
