- F1capper: All right, we're back. Push to cash episode. Arlington GP is finally here. Feels like it's millions of years since we first talked about it. And of course, it's in my backyard. So I'm super, super pumped about this, this race this weekend. See what this is all about. But I got my man, Nate Rogers and F1 Capri here. So what's going on, man? @iN8Rodgers: That's it. No, just I agree. We're coming off of such a good race last week. ⁓ We change our clocks here in Indiana, if everyone does that, for daylight savings. So it messes with your sleep. if I just wake up with some Christian Rasmussen highlights from Phoenix, really just starts my day off. It gets me going. So ⁓ that was awesome. F1capper: Mm-hmm. Yeah, unfortunately, I had to miss half the race and ⁓ I didn't really have a whole lot for the race. mean, again, I'm not going to beat a dead horse about it, but it kind of sucks that I'm not really getting the lines that I want. And when I do, it's already nerfed. But yeah, let's talk a little bit about that. Seems like great performance. We see I think you were up somewhere around the six units ish. Somewhere around there. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, yeah, one of my bigger days from what IndyCar allows, know, so was up over six units. ⁓ Everything was looking pretty good for me all day. I had a lot of angles of stuff that could have happened, like just the way the odds came out that, ⁓ you know, I was able to just kind of enjoy the race for what it was and everything kind of fell into place there. So a good start to the season on the betting end. Yeah. F1capper: Yeah, yeah, kind of a little unpleasant start from my end, I mean, we're talking about a couple units down. I only had one play, which honestly I was hesitant about it because of my lack of appreciation for Marcus Ericsson. And I had this feeling and I was like, man, I don't know, Felix was looking shaky. And I was like, maybe it is the right play. Kind of forced it, I'm not going to lie. But what it... go figure, just did what he did, which is nothing and Felix ended up ⁓ overperforming. It seems like that's a Felix thing to do. He either overperforms in qualifying, does crappy in the race or he does crappy and then somehow gets his way up. So learnings though, it's all right. We got some learnings out of it. So. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, I think that just speaks to them. like how professional they are of like how poorly, you know, lot of people that would get in their heads of how poorly it was going for Felix. And, sometimes we try to pile on that and a lot of times it works. Sometimes it doesn't because these guys are able to, you know, snap out of it a little bit. I know the St. Pete or no, this Phoenix race, actually, we, we also looking at Kiffin Simpson a lot. ⁓ he was bad in testing. He was bad in practice. He was bad in qualifying. And then, ⁓ I think he had a decent finish though. It's just, F1capper: Yeah. @iN8Rodgers: ⁓ Yeah, I mean the race has to play out and that's why it's fun, but it also sucks sometimes because know, we can see everything in front of us but the race still has to play out and you know that's... F1capper: And for all intents purposes, first time back at Phoenix, it's another short oval. It's another element of, you know, especially with these ovals, they can get wild, right? I kind of put it as like you start inserting a little NASCAR-esque into it and it brings volatility versus like a road course, which generally you can... @iN8Rodgers: Yep. F1capper: there's more you can look at and fine tune to how you're gonna handicap that. But either way, I think the biggest thing that was the most frustrating part was I got cute with the eliminator. I was like, I know I should be probably putting Joseph Newgarden, but I'm gonna save him. And I put in Reena's VK, because I was like, he's probably a good one to put in for this. And he was doing everything just fine up until that incident with Palo. And it's funny because... I mean, there's money on the line, but there isn't like direct money for that weekend. And that just made me so furious. I was like, you've got to be kidding me. And now that's put me at like, I got the dud of the week because obviously he wrecked. It would have been nice if he continued because I really think he could have been in the top 10 and that would have been good points for the eliminator. So yes, I am behind. Doesn't mean I'm completely out of it, of course. There's still a lot, but that really wrinkled. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. Yep. F1capper: how I'm gonna do this, but hey, I took a chance on a new strategy that I was gonna try and I said I'm gonna try to go against the grain, because figuring people are gonna pick like New Garden or Penske or even if you wanted to take the chance on Plo. So anyways, fun race though. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. No, I was just, saw this 565 on track passes with over 300 of them for position, 145 of those within the top 10 and 60 of those in the top five. I think seven lead chain passes for lead changes outside, not even like on track lead changes. Christian Rasmussen might've had 400 of those passes. don't, he was incredible. Like that was. I, you know, aside from some of Palo's dominant races, like we haven't seen a guy have a car like that and just be so locked in like If he didn't have to pit for, you know, like you have to pit because that's racing. But I mean, he could have lapped people like 10 times, you know, he was just running through everybody. Maybe a little more patience on his end and the wind would have come even though mean, willpower was a lot of people say was at fault there. But, know, Rasmussen had the car, you know, he timed it right. ⁓ Maybe waited another lap or two. He wins that race. But ⁓ I mean, I loved that race. I'd never watched, I don't really watch when it's NASCAR. So I hadn't watched like NASCAR Phoenix. That I mean, I'm putting that up there, I think with like Texas 2023 2024 Indy 500, you know, like, that's probably one my favorite races I watched, I was on the edge of my seat from some of the brave passes that everyone was going for and the multiple lanes working, which is really good for Indy car. So yeah, just I, I enjoyed it start to finish. F1capper: ⁓ that was great. Yeah, no for sure and Rasmussen like you watch him at these ovals and it's crazy because they put the on board and you're just looking at it like he's gonna lose it. He's probably gonna lose it. Nope, he gets it and yeah, but that goes into why we have differing of a view of him coming this weekend because of that erratic ways, ⁓ which we can just go right into the Arlington GP. So let's get your race preview and @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. F1capper: talk about the Arlington GP. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, I think this is just going to be a really cool event. You're going to be there. I'm jealous of that. And it's a 2.73 mile street course, which is I think a little over half a mile longer than any other street course they race at. Road America is obviously going to be the longest, but this is a really like proper street track. think, you know, they've come out with a few new street tracks, whether it's Detroit or even this DC race, which is going to be like a cool like, you know, yeah, I mean, it's gonna be cool to like see but as far as making a proper like track like this Arlington one kind of really seems like it might have it. I think it's gonna look good. ⁓ F1capper: Glorified oval. ⁓ @iN8Rodgers: And that straight, there's the straightaway that which I saw today is longer than the 700 feet longer than the straightaway at Monza on the front stretch, I guess. longer than the straight at IMS or Road America, know, it's just under a mile, I think. So that's, it's just going to be really cool. I'm excited to see how it plays out. ⁓ F1capper: long. It's long, man. It's a very long one. @iN8Rodgers: There's a few slow corners there, think turns four through eight before you get to that stretch that I think really favor Honda. Their engines allow you to get the power down a little quicker and then you add in like an Andretti like damper suspension package that will allow those tires to grip in a little more. ⁓ But then that straightaway, I think maybe we'll lean back to Chevy engines where they have that that top end speed. And so if they can get a good exit, a decent exit off of I think maybe turn eight or turn nine onto that straightaway you know maybe that's where Chevy shine ⁓ Obviously there's no track history to this, so I just kind of looked into the street races we've had since the hybrids were introduced. Honda's actually won five of six. Most of that has been done by Kirkwood and Palau. I think they have two wins each in those six races. Four of the six wins were from drivers starting in rows one and two. ⁓ Palau came from eighth and award came from 10th and two other street races. ⁓ Qualifying wise, you're looking at the strength of injury. and Meyer Schenck, while AJ Foy and Huncos have really struggled all the way down to like 18-19 average qualifying. And then when you're looking at results, and Dredi once again, very strong, the top team, and Ganassi right behind them. While your worst average finishes, see ECR and Rayhull at like 17-18. And so that's gonna factor into some of my plays there basically. F1capper: Yeah, no, it's I think that straight is what's bringing me back to the Chevy's. So you can even talk Penske and and that's there's going to be a lot of chaos in those turns, though. They're not just like some of like these slow speed turns as much like you're coming in pretty hot. There's going to be some understeer. Someone's going to be into the into the wall. Someone's going to mess up. It kind of almost reminds me of like, was that turn four of St. Pete? You know, how you're going through that straight and then you got to break hard and then someone just under steers into the barriers. like, yeah, it's gonna be very interesting to see whether right now actually is cooperating really well. So if it was last weekend, it was hot. It was like, we're talking almost into the 90s. So this weekend temps have dropped significantly even today. It's actually kind of chilly today, but we're looking at about like, you know, 75 degree weather. It's going to be sunny, you know, no elements like that. ⁓ Wind could pick up, but it's, it's, don't think tire degradation should be as bad as, you know, we expect just because, you know, Texas typically can be pretty brutal when it comes to the surface temps. but it's looking like it's gonna be solid, weather. ⁓ So California type weather actually, yeah. So it's gonna be good. ⁓ But we have some plays. I know I wanna just say thank you to DK, even though I wasn't able to get in on that, but they initially released Kyle Kirkwood at 10 to one, which immediately got nerfed down to, I think even on their site, it was like four to one, but. @iN8Rodgers: sweet. ⁓ nice, yeah. F1capper: Most sites are going to be five to one. So, but yeah, go ahead and talk about, you've sprinkled a lot since and I did a couple actually today after I saw some head to head and yeah, let's go right into it. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, so I mean, normally if you follow my plays, I'm going to take a couple quarter units and stuff on people and just kind of sprinkle the field and see. But I just jumped a half a unit on that Kirkwood 10 to 1. I'll probably pretty much leave it at that, even though Palau is going to be huge contender. And then we don't know a lot, could be. Penske's really strong. ⁓ But I'm pretty comfortable with Kirkwood 10 to 1, and I'll live with however that plays out. Let's see, he's made the Fast 6 and 4 of 6 of these hybrid street course races, and his worst finish is 6th with two wins, another podium, and an average finish of 3. So you expect him to be right there, anything could happen, but I like that. ⁓ Matchup-wise, Mech found this beautiful. play which has been coming and going I think they finally fixed it so maybe you won't be able to find this now but we got Kirkwood over New Garden at plus 140 which is a missed price so not much you know insight on that it's just an easy find there F1capper: Yeah. ⁓ Crazy. Crazy. Anything at that price against the Penske right now at plus 140 is crazy. That should be a minus 110 minimum line, know, to Kirkwood that is. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. Yeah. Other matchups, I took Ericsson over Foster. ⁓ Ericsson does have potential to let us down, but ⁓ yeah, I F1capper: It's Foster. And it's an RLL. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, don't think Foster is even like I said, I think for St. Pete, he still doesn't have a top 10 in IndyCar yet despite showing really good pace in that qualifying, but he has not put together a full race day. So even if Ericsson's just average, we could still hit there. Armstrong over Rossi was another play, ⁓ three quarters of a unit. ⁓ I take that almost every street and road course. I'm high on Armstrong. I bring him up somehow every ⁓ week. ⁓ Yeah, ECR is still just kind of figuring out their speed on these rodent street courses It's not the same team that we saw on the ovals last week ⁓ I took some stabs at a group bet, know, you can get on the discord and see these but you know Maluchas just had long odds and Armstrong had long odds ⁓ So the Maluchus one, I took him over ⁓ Pato, Joseph and Dixon and he's at plus 575 to beat those three guys. So it's a tough group as far as talented drivers, but plus 575. That's, know, it was an easy call for me. And then once again, I went back to Armstrong in a group with Power, Rasmussen and Ray Hall. And the way I view this one is it's basically Armstrong versus Power at plus 375. ⁓ as Rasmussen and Rahal are going to be more mid-pack, Lastly, I threw out some cheap top threes. ⁓ Because what if this race gets messy? What if it's more of a strategy thing? So I kind of thought of who are the guys at really cheap prices that I could see that still have the talent to keep their car clean? Maybe they've got the team that can get them there on strategy. So Armstrong at 14 to 1, Rosenquist at 16 to 1, Halger at 25 to 1, and Simpson at 35 to 1. These are long shots, so don't throw a bunch of money on them. In total, I did 0.3 units on all four of those guys. So if they all four don't hit like they're not supposed to, it's not going to hurt my day that much. ⁓ But yeah, I've been throwing out a lot. I said I was going to keep it light, but ⁓ I didn't. So yeah, I just. F1capper: That's your style, man. If you never tune in, this is what Nate does. mean, he does a really good job of unit sizing on the outright markets. As soon as they drop too, that's keys, right? Like get them as soon as they drop because they can move. ⁓ That's why you're very good at this, is making sure you unit size right appropriately. You're not going to hit every weekend, but there's the weekends like last weekend, right? Like everything went the way you should have. It should have gone. absolutely. Unfortunately for me, I'm not like I've always been like that with F1 too. Like I'm no normally F1 is a little different though. I will not gonna lie, but like let's let's compare it to NASCAR. I know I dabble with NASCAR and I honestly just have a rough time trying to want to do some of those. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. F1capper: the unit sizing, by the time I actually get to the lines, it's for Indy, it's always just nerfed. But I do like the top threes, the top fives, if we can even ever get them would be amazing. That's where I would love to attack on. But when it comes to outright, follow Nate Rogers, bet Indy too, they're the kings of making sure you unit size, right size, get the right numbers. And that's where you're gonna attack on that. But the head to head, bread and butter. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. F1capper: So I loved that Armstrong play. I'm with you. I'm like, we're eye to eye on Armstrong. I love the things he's doing. I think he's doing a fantastic job since he's been in D-Car in a seat. And I took that Rossi one too. I took it for a full unit. I think you got it at even a better number. I think I got it at minus 125. I didn't realize that it was even at minus 115. We're splitting hairs a little bit with the $10. That's fine. I will just. eat that but that is that's the one I did too. I love that one. And then of course when Mac called out the Kirkwood I had to phone a friend for that one because I was like that has to be done like that is just like no brainer. So shout out to Mac for getting telling us like hey there was there was a line out there. You might be able to still find it but just for everyone to know I saw what was happening. I was actually on a call. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, I like it so. F1capper: already had that place. I saw the line move all the way back down to minus 115 for both, then skyrocketed back up to plus 150 for a moment. I was like, what the hell? And then not even like five minutes later, they went back to 140 and they just took it off. I think they were just like, what did we do? Like, I think we're screwed both ways right now. I don't know. there had to have been someone. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. F1capper: some whale out there that said I'm taking New Garden over Kirkwood because there's no explanation to go down to minus 115 all the way back up to plus 150 there had to have been so and then I think they saw more money coming in on Kirkwood and we're like we're done with here so @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, unless it was like that person's first day or something because you know, we will get, we get those missed prices or I think where they kind of flip the lines on accident, you know, once or twice a year, we try to jump it. Normally they move it quick, but the fact that they reposted it even higher was, that was great. But yeah. F1capper: could be. could be. Just crazy. Yeah, I'm hoping for more for matchups. Don't know what to expect. I really hope there will be. I think my time will come, of course, for the Indy 500. I think that's where I get really good with all the matchups. So as far as outrights, I am going to see. I want to see what happens through qualifying. I do want to see some practice. I'm going to see. Yeah, and I will be out there tomorrow. I was actually not planning to go tomorrow, but I am now gonna go tomorrow. So I'll watch practice live. I'm not gonna be able to get a good like view of everything, of course, but I'm gonna try to pay attention, see what the lines are. You guys are gonna be on your own on the FP data, unfortunately, so I won't be sitting around for that. But ⁓ yeah, I'm gonna be very interested to see consistency throughout that practice session. the timing of it too is gonna be the same weather and everything for qualifying as well and into the race. Warm up, will say pay attention to that because it's gonna be much cooler in the morning around in the 50 degrees. So Sunday morning when you see the warmups that's gonna be like almost 15, 20 degrees cooler than when the race will happen. So it'll be interesting to see how like tires gonna react at that point as well. So. @iN8Rodgers: And some of the drivers have just talked about how much they think the track is going to evolve. Just, you know, they're at a new place. ⁓ And so, you know, from that, could just be seeing a lot of changes from practice one all the way through warmup to the race. that, you know, teams are going to show up with their, basically their simulator set up of what they think it's going to be, but, ⁓ they've, they keep noting that, you know, obviously they don't know the bumps yet. ⁓ F1capper: Yeah. @iN8Rodgers: at these tracks like they've been St. Pete for so many years, they could tell you where every single little bump is. But this they're gonna have to feel it out, they're gonna do the their you know, track walk probably today, and then just get out there for practice and gonna be winging it a little bit. So there's gonna be a lot of a lot of changes a lot, you know, a lot we don't know a lot we're gonna learn so F1capper: Mm-hmm. Yeah, half the track is gonna is gonna be the original surface that's just there, which is gonna be interesting. That's where it's gonna be the most bumpy is where you're gonna see in those areas. And then some of the areas like near the pit pit areas like new surface, that's probably that's not gonna be anything. So I'll admit, I have done like some autocross around at the Arlington AT &T Stadium parking lot and I think you go through some of that is pretty brutal. It can be pretty brutal. So it's going to be that's I mean, that's a great call out because you're going to it's probably going to catch some guys off guard, especially during the race when they're on higher fuel, they're on a different type of plan and you hit a bump and boom, he's just things can go around. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. F1capper: So yeah, it's definitely going to be interesting to see. But ⁓ yeah, I think with the outrights, I'm going to probably take a stab at something. I'm going to be patient. I'm going to wait since I don't have an opportunity to attack on any line. But let's get into grid rival because I have a few plays and so do you. don't know. you go first though. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. F1capper: and we'll combine. @iN8Rodgers: So on all these, like basically a quarter unit right now is kind of my max on grid rival. All these are at like 0.15 to 0.1 units. So basically like half or less. So I do have several plays, but I'm just dialing back the risk a little bit as we don't know much. So start off, I'm taking New Garden worse than 5.5 with Rasmussen worse than 14.5. Some quick notes on that. ⁓ New Garden has zero fast six and four out of six qualifying 15th or worse on street courses in the hybrid era. ⁓ He's only hit this line one out of six times. I think he had a podium at St. Pete, so he an average finish of 13.5 on those races. So ⁓ he could have a decent race, but I don't think a top five is in his cards. Rasmussen, star of the show last week, but ⁓ he's never hit this line at 14.5. He has an average finish of 22 in nine career street races. ⁓ Next, Pato worse than 4.5 and Kirkwood better than 4.5. We've already talked about Kirkwood of why we like him. Pato, he actually is trending better on street circuits in the hybrid era, but ⁓ he's got three straight top tens. But he's only hit this line one out of the last six street course races. So he's still not quite there as a top. 3 top 5 car yet even though he's doing better. I took Kiffin Simpson better than 14.5 with Nolan Siegel worse than 17.5. Kiffin Simpson's interesting as he's like sneakily trending up on these street course tracks. He was finishing in the 20s for his first part of his career. His last four finishes have been 10th, 5th, 3rd, and 15th. The race he finished 15th at St. Pete, that was actually his best qualifying where he made it to the the second round the fast 12 there Seagull has just been not good. I don't think he's ever hit this line All of his finishes have been 18th or worse even when he qualifies well The race does not go well for him despite being in a really good car Lastly I went ahead and put all of those six plays together with Armstrong better than 10.5. So it's a seven Seven play card there at just 0.05 units a little beer Beer Money Play. Calling my shot on a Wednesday to see how that turns out. F1capper: Yeah, no, I love the Kiffin Simpson. actually... @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, there you go. F1capper: I think I I think think like, think was like, I like, think was think think was like, like, think I like, better for that is because one, I do expect there's going to be quite a bit of DNFs. How many? I'm not, there's not going to be obviously 10, you never know, but I think there will be at least anywhere between, you know, three, four, five, maybe even more. So that's going to push up that field a little bit for him. And I went worse with Rasmussen just like what we've talked about again, like just not good at road tracks. We're at a new one too. There's a lot of different factors that are gonna go into this specific one too. And just from the eye test, he has an erratic way of driving. It's good at times, but it's also terrible, especially on the road tracks. So at the point of 14 and a half, you can give me that correlation between both. I'll take Simpson Better and I'll take Rasmussen Wars. So that was my favorite card. which I just was like taking a look at the lines. I didn't realize Rasmussen has moved to 15 and a half now since. And I'm actually kind of disappointed I did not do this one. I do like your Siegel one. I still worry that he could still clear it even just by default to 17. That's the only reason why I was shy about that one. But Mick Schumacher was at 18 and a half. And I was like, man, if I'm already thinking about these DNFs, @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. F1capper: like he might be able to get past 18 and a half and there you go. He's already at 17 and half. It probably should have done it. But something if you're considering this, think about the tracks we go to, the DNFs, how it can help push that field up a little bit for the guys that are in the lower, you know, 18, 19, 20, you know, that part of the portion. So I want to do another one, but I'm like, maybe I'll wait. Maybe I'll wait. ⁓ because there's a lot of guys jumbled in that 14, 15, 16. ⁓ @iN8Rodgers: ⁓ yeah. I think maybe fading Seagull on Sunday might be the better move when he has the potential to qualify 11th or 14th or something and that'll move his number down a little bit and then he still tends to fade back so ⁓ I just wanted a pair there so F1capper: like 14. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I'm with you. I am totally with you. I said, you know what, I will be patient, but I really loved combining Rasmussen with Kiffin. And then like from the top guys, I wasn't really too crazy about it. Like a part of me wants to willpower, but something also tells me that maybe he just steadies himself in this race wherever he ends up with. I mean, maybe it's wishful thinking because it seems like he's always going zero to a hundred. But maybe he actually stays patient in this race, lets things happen, cautions come out, he gets lucky, maybe he does get into that seven. I thought about fading Pato, but I kind of don't want to do that until after qualifying because there's a possibility they're not going to do well in qualifying, but they do something in the race. Same goes with Lungard. I think he was at five and a half. If Lungard was at seven and a half, I probably would have taken him better. ⁓ Dixon, he's always at a six and a half, seven and a half, eight and a half. Do you wanna just take the better and then he ends up worse or do you wanna take the worse and he ends up better? Just pick it. ⁓ And then I'm very interested to see where Felix qualifies before I make a move on him. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, I thought it was interesting. Dixon did a little track preview video. I could tell he was in Phoenix. So, you know, it's just a couple of days ago and he was like, I haven't even done the sim on this track yet. So it's just, know, Dixon just saw this track, you know, with the driving wise this week at some point, but he's also old enough where he's probably showed up to tracks before. Yeah. So. ⁓ F1capper: You can just come in. Yeah, I think he's got that Max Verstappen mentality where it's just like, just put me in the car and give me a lap and then I will be done. Like after that lap, I will be cruising. then as the weekend goes on, right, as he's getting seat time in his practice, his warm up, his qualifying. And that's another reason why I do want to wait on Dixon is because he could qualify probably like P12. And then that's the opportunity you take him because what's best to... @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. F1capper: there right like you gotta take Dixon out of better so Roman Roman Grosjean I'm I'm afraid to do the fade this weekend I'm not going to lie I think that he has a proper skill set to jump into a car at a new track and make things happen but then my other my devil side is whispering in my ear saying hey look at those walls that he can be hitting so @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. Haha. F1capper: I'm almost there with Grosjean. If he was at 13 and a half, I probably would be taking worse. ⁓ I just don't think I could do it at 14 and a half right now. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, we also need to kind of see like how legit was that speed of Dale Coyne when they put two cars in the Fast Six at St. Pete. So I think waiting is a good approach. His number isn't going to move too much. It'll probably only move in your favor if you wait. So ⁓ yeah, that'll be interesting to see how they return after a strong qualifying. F1capper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and part of me wants to Marcus Erickson. Still could, but I'm not gonna do it yet. ⁓ We'll see, but right now I'm gonna just stick to my one card. think, ⁓ I am, I do, I do like your Joseph New Garden one, the five and a half worse. ⁓ But I am also afraid of him come race day if he has a poor qualifying, so. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, I mean, I think that, you know, Pinsky's back a little bit. It's not, it doesn't seem, it hasn't been as bad, but still for whatever reason, Joseph has not qualified on these two tracks. It's pulled it up here. You know, he was like 23rd, 23rd at St. Pete, but then going back to last year, 18, 24, 15, 10, you know, that just makes it really difficult to get a top five on year. F1capper: Yeah, it's been pretty poor. Yeah. Yeah, and one thing I probably should do is go back to those results and look at where he actually finished qualifying versus where they finished. ⁓ Maybe that's something we can talk about is like looking at some statistic like that and see if we can try to do something like that. So it kind of gives us a better guide on when to attack on some of these grid rival plays. ⁓ any last words, bets, things you're eyeing for this weekend? @iN8Rodgers: Have fun back there. Yeah. I think I pretty much got everything I wanted surprisingly that came out. ⁓ I do like that Maluchis keeps kind of having these longer lines as a Penske so if I'm seeing that Penske is looking good Friday and Saturday, Maluchis might just kind of have that cheap price compared to McLaughlin who maybe just he's better overall still but Maluchis is comfortable in that car, he's fast. ⁓ So like I think I've seen like a podium for plus 650 on Maluchis. If Penske is showing any sort of pace of keeping up with Andrade and Ganassi, that is probably going to be something I'll jump on. F1capper: Yeah, I think I'm still gonna be weirdly enough, maybe taking a peek at McLaren and seeing how are they actually doing here. I mean, obviously I'm gonna just wait until after qualifying, but my expectation is they're gonna qualify anywhere between eight and 11. Let's just say around that seven through 10 even. And then I think there's opportunity with a patto or a lung guard at top three. I don't know how lung guard is going to really do, but I still like him as one of the top drivers to get into that top three. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah, I thought so. Yeah, Lundgaard has been so good at qualifying, you know, even if he doesn't make it in the Fast Six, he'll qualify, you know, like he said, 8 to 12, but he finds a way to that podium, seven times now since he's been with McLaren. So I love a look at Lundgaard at these road and street courses. F1capper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. That's why I'm definitely eyeing that as a potential play. For a top three, think it's going to be most likely going to be Lungard, but I will keep an open mind about Pato this weekend for a podium play. I don't have any top threes, unfortunately. I wish because I would love to actually bring something to table with some of these outrides for top three, but it's all right. I'll let you guys take control over that right now. So. ⁓ Yeah, man, I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited. I get into the discord. And again, if there's something you want me to try to give you insights while I'm out there, just let me know. I will try my best. It's what I try to do is at any races. It's good to actually see the cars up front, see that like actually what are they doing on the track? I know I'm not gonna be like everywhere following them, but you can catch some little things like just a little slip up in that turn or whatever part of the... @iN8Rodgers: Thank F1capper: the course they're struggling with, you can see that slippage a little bit or hear the RPMs, you can actually hear them and see what's happening with the car. So looking forward to it, excited, it's gonna be a very busy weekend. ⁓ So yeah, get into Discord and hopefully we cash this weekend. @iN8Rodgers: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Enjoy it out there this weekend. F1capper: Yeah, man, it's going to be great.
