Best wishes Seb. Sad to see you go...

And to get things started, my own answers: My methodology is that I'm going to be trying to go for the three best circuits that I think cover a representative area of the USA. That obviously rules out the current three, since they're all in the south. Genuinely, the country doesn't split neatly int...

I suggest a variety of track types so he can get a feel for what he likes (or not). So pick a couple of the big superspeedway races, Talladega for sure, and a short track like Bristol. The race at Sonoma is a road course and very different from the typical oval stuff. Some of the other tracks are fa...

What a beauty!

Very sad news. What.an incredible man. RIP Frank.

[quote="Beleriand_K Thank you :) . I like doing this, and I'm happy I'm not the only one who finds this interesting. If you're also interested in historical data, I have a few things in my spreadsheet you might find interesting. But it involves more that 250 drivers, so it's not quite ready for pres...

jimmyj

I have to say thank you for your time in compiling these statistics. I quite enjoy the thread.

jimmyj

My first thoughts are not positive. Wire2004 read my mind. Nevertheless I will keep an open mind and let her performance make my decision. An odd choice I think.

jimmyj

Thank you to the new (and existing) Mods. I like this forum and appreciate your efforts to keeping it well managed.

Thankfully this hasn't happened a lot so we may be ok with the current status (as disappointing as it was). That said, I was shocked they didn't have a reschedule option as standard practice. I also agree that races should be scheduled for times when the local area is less likely to see rain.

jimmyj

Just watching the pre race show and I really liked the bit with Mick driving his dad's car. It was nice to see Seb with Mick.

I hope the race is exciting without ridiculous carnage.

jimmyj

I get that rules are rules but emotionally I just hate this stuff. Gutted for Seb.

jimmyj

Happy for Icon.

jimmyj

Love Nico's insight

jimmyj

bottas is still on the track according to these great graphics.... I don't think my Canadian broadcast is the same as yours. What graphics? It is the world feed. When they show the track on the screen and the drivers positions. Bottas's circle was still there on the track. Oh I must have missed that

It would be great to see Vettel and Alonso on the podium

jimmyj

Wow. I record the races and have just begun watching this one. My head is spinning. My goodness .

jimmyj

I would bet they rule a racing incident, which I agree with btw. Too bad, this was going to be a great scrap today. Pleased to see Max ok, that could have been ugly. Terrible day for Red Bull.

jimmyj

Have to see those onboards. I didn't think Norris did anything wrong but I guess I am mistaken. Surprised tbh.

jimmyj

I'm excited about the race. And that anthem was fun! Let's go!

jimmyj

Congratulations to Helio. It's nice to see how happy he was too win.

jimmyj

Dixon really is remarkable. What a great talent.

jimmyj

I found this interesting. Maybe some of you will as well.

In context to the above picture, Haas are bringing an upgrade to Monaco:

Absolutely hilarious

make your mind up hamilton. "tyres have gone off" - much later "tyres are ok"
To be fair, I can't remember a race for years where he hasn't said his tyres had gone and then he went super fast on them.

Hahaha. You read my mind!

jimmyj

Initially I was upset. But frankly this makes complete sense considering the authorities won't even let it run in Canada this year. I live about 8 hours drive from the Canadian track but haven't ever gone. This cements my resolve to get there next time it runs.

jimmyj

Just and observation. It is pretty amazing how the windscreen stopped Ryan Hunter-Reay from getting hit in the head by Newgarden's tire in the Alabama race. I wonder if the halo frame alone would have been adequate though as it occurred to me that had F1 used a windscreen, Grosjean's side exit from ...

jimmyj

Today's race in St Petersburg is very entertaining so far. Romain seems to be struggling with the narrow streets but so far he is doing respectably.

jimmyj

error, sorry

jimmyj

I love Williams and have tremendous respect and admiration for the Great Sir Frank. What a man, a legend!

Checo just has to get a drive for next year
Red Bull's Thai owner is probably the obstacle. Albon is marketing gold for Red Bull in Thailand.

That's interesting. I wonder what the market potential is for Thailand vs Checo's value to the Mexican market in North America. Fascinating stuff.

jimmyj

Checo just has to get a drive for next year

Last to first! Well done Perez!

Meanwhile Albon in the middle of nowhere - that's it now surely it's Perez in the Red Bull next year and Albon back in the Tauri

Was thinking the same

jimmyj

Interesting to think if Lewis was driving today what may be different. Or not.

BTW....why the heck didn't Mercedes bring Bottas back in on the next lap - like they did to Russell - and onto the correct tyres?

Lots of questions to say the least!

jimmyj

This sucks. I like Perez but I hate this for George

jimmyj

Steady George.....

i walk away for 5 mins and miss everything? How is Russell now behind Bottas?

Aitken crashed bringing out safety. Merc double stacked and mixed up the car tires so had to bring George in a second time. Utter fiasco
