Re: ESPN Failed already
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.

Re: Any advice for someone attending COTA F1 race first time
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.

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?

Was this an all's well that ends well for Lewis.
