The other big note about the new Monaco contract is that it moves to the first week of June after 2025. I'm kind of sad because we lose the "Most Prestigious Day of Racing" for morning, noon, and night. On the other hand, it's also said to move Canada to after Miami so they can stay in North America and save on transportation. | |||

Marko (as referenced in that link) pushing young drivers to boost their cred for F1 seats be doing more on social media seems to have the eye off the ball. He opposed Ricciardo getting Perez's slot, even for part of a season, when he has a much higher social media/web recognition than any of the other options. Certainly the problems with the Red Bull car may have still not fit DR's driving style, but bringing him up, even if it was on a "rest of the season" deal, subject to renewal would have done no worse on the track, and better than how it played out off the track. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

The totals are fun, but I'd like to see the underlying assumptions. Not because I'm questioning them as much as I'm interested in their estimates on a component by component basis. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Supposedly, they're based on the team's estimates to the FIA in regards to the Cost Cap in place. It's also something that has only recently happened since I can't recall ever hearing of this more than 3 years ago. | |||

I got to admit I am pretty excited about this movie. . . Link to Article Lewis Hamilton input ‘costs us more money’ in Brad Pitt F1 film reveal Sounds like Lewis is making it as authentic as possible. Maybe I will drive to see it on the Imax . . . This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||

Cautiously optimistic, from the trailer. Hard to top Rush, IMO. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

"Damn. Poor Williams." That really had to hurt in a lot of ways. Lewis sure shot himself in the foot. He had the car this time and screwed up both times. The opposite of that was Gasly's performance. I was waiting for the announcement that he had somehow cut across a corner somewhere. I guess they figured out how to get the tires in temperature range somehow. The first turn tomorrow should be wild without a big upturn in the temperature. Might be a good race to start from the pitlane. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

So how much stock did Colapinto lose smashing another car? This won't be helping him getting a VcaRB seat. | |||

It was a great race...possibly the best of the year The first few laps will have you on the edge of your seat. There was great action all up and down the field throughout most of the race No, Daoism isn't a religion | |||

I just finished Q2, from the headlines I'd seen, I was expecting a much more significant event. Supposedly it was 50G impact. Good to see him exit the car unaided. Edit: Just finished the race, very good for what is not one of my favorite tracks.This message has been edited. Last edited by: P250UA5, The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

The track looks unimpressive on paper but we've had two very entertaining races there, it's fast and it's racy. Everyone complains about it going in, poor grip and too cold but it works, I'm looking forward to it next year. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

So, a GM works team, or is that what they're calling Andretti F1? The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
|
| I swear I had something for this |
Basically. Same project with the same people minus Michael Andretti. | |||

Lots of things to discuss other than the racing itself, and that's unfortunate. Penalties that were much more severe, some that nobody had heard of or enforced before, a bad call to leave dangerous debris on the track (regardless of if it caused the punctures) all related to a number of recent hiring and firings of officials. Nice to see there was some passing but why can't they correct this at tracks like Qatar that have wide open areas to make changes? ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Wow, what a chaotic race. That debris really changed things up a lot. Spoiler-ish: How does Sauber get it going right with just 2 races to go?!? The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
