FP3 was shown on ESPN News live. It's the Sky feed which is better than FP1 and FP3 on NBCSN last year with no announcers at all. All ESPN programming can be replayed on the ESPN Watch app.

Visit Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew on of your nights. Serious authentic Austin meat eating. Austin is a great town. Had the chance to drive COTA at an AMG event in June. Great venue, good music this year too.

Well, according to James Allen... Under Toto Wolff, Mercedes goes racing with emotion, but also has a clear “team-first” policy, where they will act in the team’s interests, not the individual driver’s. They are used to it now after three years of Rosberg and Hamilton and both current Mercedes driv...

Why does a 3 time World Champion, 5th year team veteran, team points leading, Brit on a UK based team who is under contract through next year have to make a deal with his team to be let by a slower, new teammate who never won a race prior to this season? I understand the idea of letting teammates ra...

Same timing as the announcement of the release of the new AMG (gas guzzling) GT4 customer race car! Keeping it real!

I attended the 500 at what locals call The Track and was totally impressed with the magnitude of the event and the speed. Massive. Alonso was terrific and I focused on the other F1 pilots as well. There were 4 former F1 drivers in the field, in addition to Alonso. Each of them led the race and the f...

They missed again. Too much black.

This is ridiculous. F1 is a wet weather sport. If certain drivers are afraid they can park or slow down. Come on Charlie.

It's what you will get in what is a spec series (or close) with Chevy and Honda. Full course yellows for everything keep the cats bunched but basically Scott Dixon checked out just like Nico did yesterday. No contest.

Truck racing at its finest. Classy.

Is there any explanation for why Rosberg, after his relatively poor start, didn't move across in front of Hamilton to cover the inside of turn one? It cost him the race and he was clearly ahead of Hamilton and watching him in his mirrors three or four times on the run down there. 1. Merc rules of e...

[quote="moby"]I think it may be a good idea to watch him in at least one race before planning his future.

This makes entirely too much sense to be posted here.

Agree, totally bush league. That's your engine supplier too, not smart.

Interesting, maybe another chance for a seat for Rossi.

Case1906

Because the "wrong" driver might be first quick and deserve the ride.

Yes, would love an all silver look, but Petronas helps to pay the bills.

Nico had a great season. Good of him to come into the podium room to congratulate Lewis. While he'll have to work on his "racing" for next season (his words), he will be formidable.

Case1906

Was this an all's well that ends well for Lewis. It seems that Mercedes took an awfully big risk under the circumstances by putting Lewis back out on the super softs for the second stint when the other frontrunners were on softs and meeting regulations. Lewis would have been toast if there was a sec...

That's the answer.....

Did Fernando gain an unfair advantage when he left the track defending Lewis late in the race?

Case1906

When you include the driver an IndyCar will weight 200 pounds more than a F1 car. End of story.

After red flags only.

Today Lewis tweeted "We've been friends a long time & as friends we have our ups & downs. Today we spoke & we're cool, still friends #noproblem" We see if this lasts beyond qualifying in Montreal.

Rules are rules, but I still like the old rule of allowing all the drivers to throw out one race a a year.

New season means new helmets, and this be the place to show 'em! (Unless there's another) Rosberg appears to be first up, No more confusion with Hamilton http://i.imgur.com/w4cHIEc.jpg Hamilton has revealed his 2014 helmet http://i43.tinypic.com/2nuq8lv.jpg This is hilarious!

Thoughtful, safe, unselfish and professional.

Just saying.

... if your teammate is leading the race with a 10 sec+ gap.

Was it Hamilton's pass of Button which made the race for him which we never saw, at least in the US?

Case1906

I was at Indy for his debut. Very impressive over the weekend---replacing Kubica, he was the next ...... Kubica at the time.

No one could have predicted...

Looks like he picked up 7 places. "OK, good job, good job."

The chevy's right now have an advantage over the Honda's so I think a Chevy's based team will win

Going with Ryan Hunter-Reay with Chevy power. Andretti Autosport is the team to beat.

Perfect race for Sato, well deserved. First win for the AJ Foyt team in forever.

Great top ten action. Perez made it interesting and the Webber/Hammy duel was fun. Just wish it had been better at the sharp end.
