I've become less and less of a fan of Georgi Porgi since his non-stop Toto Wolf brainwashing began. The other fun will be to see that Mick is still going to suck as a driver if he has an opportunity to do so much as some FP1. That said, so long as he beats Crybaby, I'll be rooting for him on that basis.My son calls George Russel, Woody from toy story because he says they look a like.

Yes. I don't understand what happened there.Did Red Bull take a dive at Singapore?
I don't think anyone does.Yes. I don't understand what happened there.
Isn't F1 media almost entirely UK ran? They would fight to the death at a chance to smell Hamiltons sweaty race suit.The media for several months has been harping about what the season would be like without Max. I think F1 thought the viewer numbers would be higher without RB dominance. They did not seam to care when Mercedes dominated for years, go figure.
Nothing set in stone… but some talk about them getting cough with a “to flexible” under panel (higher ground effect) Same sources stated that’s why Aston Martin dropped back some time ago.Yes. I don't understand what happened there.
I didn’t mention wings at all, that’s another story. They are back because they have Adrian Newey…
We will never know why, maybe they lost one on purpose?
Doesn’t matter anymore anyway, all over now.
Let’s see what happens next year.
All that fuss everyone made about signing Piastri is making sense now. A sprint win this early in his career is impressive. If McLaren keeps improving next season might look a little different.I must say though, it's been really exciting to see Mclaren progress through the season. Norris and Piastri are two strong drivers, and they finally have a car to match.
Well, that’s your theory…. F1 is way to complex to have a definite answer, all we have is our opinion and what they choose to tell us.Apparently with the way the Singapore track is designed, Redbull had to raise their chassis' for that particular track. And because of that, EVERYTHING is off. The car is designed to work as one, not as a collection of individual parts. So a dramatic change like having to raise the entire car throws off the entire system.
Redbull knew going into the race that it wasn't going to be their race. With how their car is designed, it just doesn't work with that track setup.
Now that they are back to normal ride height, they are back to dominant form.

What would be your guess?Well, that’s your theory…. F1 is way to complex to have a definite answer, all we have is our opinion and what they choose to tell us.

The icing on the cake in the last race was for me when the ass with the helmet ran in his teammate….. and then in his typical style blame’s the other… priceless
Some things you just can’t take back, that’s a long list in my book for this guy! He could be the best driver in the world and would never have my respect again….
I don't ever see him taking any responsibility for Silverstone 21.
Brenda and I were thrilled that Formula one might be coming as close as Austin. Then we saw the prices, then Mercedes began its little reign of terror, where they got the engine specs right and everyone else was stuck with what they had which was not “so” right and could not update due to rules.The US and Mexico races are too expensive to go to now. I usually get in through Aramco. My friends wife works there and they would get a email the week of the race saying they have extra tickets if anyone wanted to go. Nothing special, just grandstand seats and parking passes. But it surely beats the hell out of taking the shuttle to the race. I have gotten several VIP passes through Michelin before for WEC. You are in a suite above the pitlane, all the food and drink is free, goodie bags with bottles of Patron inside, pitwalk and take a guided tour of COTA when the race is going on. By far the coolest thing is when the Corvette racing team were showing their car and let the fans sit in their race car right before the race. Not a replica race car, but the actual car that is about to go race.
You made the right decision, it’s nicer to watch on tv anyway. Sky f1 or f1 app have better coverage than ever. Including interviews and technical talk / shows.Brenda and I were thrilled that Formula one might be coming as close as Austin.

Then we saw the prices. Then we saw the prices. Did I mention that “then we saw the prices?”
At Indianapolis, we could drive our Corvette (now we would drive the Miata) to the race. Spend the time at a nice Bed and Breakfast. Leave the Corvette at a couples home offering parking at their home (they always kept the Corvette in their yard, close to their home so it would be safe) Get tickets right in front of the pits for the race. Have tickets for all four days, get a nice barbecue after the race at the couple who kept the Corvette for us…all for little more than what three day tickets and parking passes would cost at Austin.
Now, just watch it on TV and put the thousands it would cost into sails for Anna Eleise and bullets for the Precision rifles.
Last time I looked at the USGP prices were 400+ for grandstand seats on turn 19, GA was 300+. For a race that is less than 2 hours, it's just not worth it. Plus you will be battling traffic in and out longer than the actual race itself. Checked the Mexico GP pricing and for the whole weekend, hotel, flight and race tickets were 5k+. I was planning on going to the Japanese GP if it was going to cost me that much, but next years race just so happen to be the day before the Solar Eclipse in the US and I will not miss that event.
Hence the only reason I am going is because HAAS is paying for it right down to $300.00 for gas. The damn room is $900.00/night. There is NO way I would do it on my dime but if they want me to be a part of Team HAAS I'm down. BTW, my boss is going to the Vegas GP on their dime too. I figure the inaugural event will be a cluster fuck so I'm happy with the tested and true COTA race.F1 prices have gotten absolutely absurd.
I went to Austin in 2017, and prices were pretty cheap back then.
I would never go today, with how expensive they've become.

I can’t remember the page but a F1 guy I follow is putting together a series on actually driving a “winged” race car upside down..not just a loop
Several parts so far about how oil s a aging etc is a issue. Pretty cool stuff for tech heads
Fuuuuuck lucky! My son's been begging me to go to a race for a couple of years now but at almost $1k for the tickets alone, I just can't do it. We're only an hour away from Austin. We went to the practice Friday last year and had a blast.So anybody going to Austin? I went to the Music City 400 and happened to hit it off with one of the Haas higher ups (Iknow... I know) and told her that NASCAR was cool and all but F1 was my thing and a GP was bucket list item. She told me to e-mail her and she would see what she could do. Fast forward and me and a buddy are headed to COTA. I'm pretty stoked and it's all on their dime (I mean I my company has bought a shit ton of Haas CNCs ). If anyone is gonna be there I'll buy you a beer. Seriously... "A" beer. Pretty sure they're gonna be like $120.00!
Hamilton and LeClerc DQ'ed over plank wear tech violation.great race were pit/tire strategy had a big part of the outcome. Hamilton needed a couple of extra laps. Max was not happy with his brakes. LOL
