So all we really know is that we watched 3 days of sandbagging and that the Redbull is still best car. Other than that, on the eve of the 1st Race week of 2024 we know very little about how the rest of the top 4 will shake out or who will top the midfield. How ever the cards will fall we only have 6 days till those red light go out and we see in earnest who is capable of what.
