liberty has applied for some different names for a possible Chicago race. apparently looking at New York also
trying to figure out how to have 30 races by 2030

pc27b

I believe most of us have the same thoughts. moving towards street courses is the new norm, but certainly not the most liked idea from long time fans. not sure what I will do when they drop spa, because they can't pay enough

It's not the day today spending that's the issue. Steiner wanted Haas to invest money in better facilities for the team. This would allow them to actually design and then develop their own cars properly rather than having to buy in as many parts as possible and contract out as much of the developme...

pc27b

i’m going with, he hasn’t been spending near the cap. his “nearly” isn’t the same as the rest of ours

meanwhile, crickets on the andretti entry. seems they will ignore this making him pay another $200 million.

pc27b

it’s been reported steiner’s contract wasn’t renewed a few weeks ago. two people didn’t leave the same day.
haven’t heard about gene upgrading the facilities or anything like that to make the team better

pc27b

Steiner runs his mouth, so he gets quoted plenty, other than that, so what that he is gone. really don't care about haas either. until gene gets serious, and that won't be this season, haas is nothing but a field filler. disappointing to say that. I look for a lawsuit from Steiner shortly, or the mo...

all those wins make for a ridiculous fee verstappen has to pay for his license next year. I'd ship them payments by coins, small coins!

pc27b

honda and the Red Bull aero department get a tip of the hat. verstappen is just locked in with their creation. 2 more years of this ? McLaren showed signs of life later in the season, Ferrari needs to do something to stop chewing up the tires, Mercedes, new car design? enjoy the off season everyone!

young drivers would get me to watch the sprints. yeah, money, third car ready for them, etc. not a great idea, just something thrown at the wall

pc27b

young drivers, or reserve drivers should race in the sprints in an extra car. somehow I'm not sure how that works with the budget cap and the need to save money plus I don't know what you learn by putting young drivers in unequal cars. I know it's not any where near a perfect idea. f1 seems intent ...

pc27b

not bad, the race. one thing I hadn't thought about, but read about, is the amount of business that was done behind the scenes in Vegas. easy to get to, and a huge number of business' showed up to talk with the teams. money for them, something we don't really care about though. part of the reason th...

not the first time

pc27b

I think I played a blinder by not crawling out of bed and just recording FP1 and FP2. :) As I had not quite turned in (on EST in the US), I started watching FP1 at 2325, and it obviously went sideways pretty quickly. After the short session got truncated with a terminal red flag, I just went to bed...

retired indy car driver from brazil gets to drive senna’s 91 car. glorious sound and an emotional day for kanaan

pc27b

i guess i knew the track time was going to be late. i must not have factored in the time difference at Vegas compared to central and eastern time zones. i would guess this is changed next year. many, many people in the host country aren’t going to watch this live. hard to avoid coverage, when we hav...

pc27b

Hope this event is a total embarrassment. I've never wanted something to fail so badly before. Why? Because it's a cat walk not a race. We're going to spend about as much time looking at and hearing about the celebrities that are in attendance than the racing, even the drivers are being coerced int...

"It is all about how many slices can be cut from the pie and anything the manufacturers (teams) are bringing up is about protecting their own very short sighted interests. I couldn't care less what engine Andretti bring to the table and what chassis, I would like to see more teams on the grid and th...

That wasnt hate. I live in US and love US for the most part. And love watching football (NFL, college). Please pitch in if you think anything I wrote is not correct... the nfl was “ crafted “ a 100 years ago. plenty of die hard f1 fans in the usa. we have been following it since before it was even ...

pc27b

One correction, NFL games do not require long attention span. Actually it is quite the opposite where each play is 10 seconds or so and then a 30 second break, and then most times the games get heated in last 5 mins or so for some additonal excitement. Other times people eat, drink and chat. Very n...

if stroll has sold his shares, do the buyers have to be approved?
what are they bring to f1 to enhance it? lol

pc27b

What a load of nonsense. Neither you nor I understand the motivations of the younger fans. You don't know what their attention span is, you're just repeating a generalisation. I really dislike gatekeeping. I don't think it's good for the sport. I'm certain it's not good for fora such as this. There...

pc27b

Why won't they stick around? You never know, maybe those replacement(s) follow F1 for the next 40 years. Long after you've stopped. They watch like me because they like the structure of sport as it is now, also the mentality of a younger person can be different, we hear of the 5 minute attention sp...

every race has a post race inspection of all cars. certain items are on that list to be checked from all cars random cars are picked for a deeper inspection. the teams have schedules, they don't hang out all night drinking beer while the car sits there. they break the car down, after the required in...

pc27b

Fundermentally as a Ferrari and Merc where dsq for a floor can the FIA say 100% that the other cars from those teams ,one or which gained a podium is legal .. I understand the random checks but you would think if one car is illegal you have to check both. I think it's unfortunate for Lewis in parti...

pc27b

I'm not calling for all cars to be inspected. someone else was. just pointing out the problems with that.

pc27b

So they test 4 cars (top 4) and find 50% are illegal yet don't test the rest, come on!!! How can you not test their teammates at the very least. Sainz with another inherited podium. Upon further reading I figured they do the test at random; whoever is not selected is free to start disassembling the...

pc27b

I see where Michael is hedging on 2025. not going to be ready, or going to have to wait until 26 and pay a higher entry fee?
MA keeps bringing up herta. hopefully that is only because he knows he can't get into f1 without a super license. herta has no business driving in f1

Looks like there is an ongoing plank wear investigation on Leclerc and Hamilton's car

If DSQ, could get Sargeant his first point

at the moment, I'm reading they (they cars) both failed post race inspection. both facing dq

they have denied this, tepidly

Yeah sorry for causing all the off topic discussion (even if the alternative would've been dead silence...) but to be called a Nazi is a bit uncalled-for. No need to apologise, it was a welcome change from the norm! exactly! I think it was banter also. cota is a good track. a few years of massive a...

Well, unlike the rest of you "unit of measure" Nazis, I'm looking forward to the race weekend in America. You know, the F1 car race... lol. should be better than miami and vegas. curiosity got the best of me, and for a giggle, found some three day, standing only tickets, for vegas. $1500. ( us doll...

Ahh let's race in a desert where nobody cares about the sport, theres incredibly dubious human rights record, the temperature causes drivers to have health issues, and the tyres can't do more than 18 laps

Great idea isn’t it?

Yep. Seems this is a case where Lawrence Stroll wanted an F1 driver for a son a lot more than Lance Stroll ever wanted to be an F1 driver. Interestingly, I wonder if Lance is actually a very good case study for how fast/far a person with no particular talent for motorsport can go, given every possi...
