Formula One heads to the event which caused considerable embarrassment in 2005 as a six-car race left the weekend labelled a fiasco, booed by the hundreds of thousands of fans that travelled to Indianapolis. With the future of the event under negotiation, a solid show is required if the reputation of the sport is to recover...
It seems almost as though Formula One is returning to the scene of a crime, after the Michelin tyre fiasco in 2005: the six-car event was certainly memorable for all the wrong reasons, even if it did afford Ferrari their only win. Early indications are that a repeat is not on the cards: with the return of tyre changes, even if a manufacturer is again overly aggressive, the race should take place.
This track is interesting, as the tremendously long straight is countered by a very slow, twisty infield. The straight rewards low drag and powerful engines, whilst good balance, downforce and mechanical grip are required for the infield section.
