Thats quite a website. Remarkable documentation. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing like a Marlboro Ferrari or a Benson and Hedges Jordan. Also nothing like a West cigarette girl giving you a ciggy and lighting it while you walk into Hockenheim.

Andretti Motorsport and Ford to possibly collaborate on a F1 entrance . Interesting possibility .

Saw the Andretti and O’Ward and Mika laps around Laguna. Awesome. It’d be great if we can get an Andretti team in F1 while Mario is still about. Nice if Ford got back in as well.

The O’Ward incar is an eargasm.

Anyone know if there is a pre race show (Formula 1: Grand Prix Sunday) before the Austin race? Can’t seem to find it on the tv schedule for this race.

The race is on ABC and is time slotted for 3 hours according to my cable menu. So possibly pre-race is that first hour? Or also check ESPN U, they sometimes move stuff over there.

Damn that track gets bumpy at speed.

He's a fan fav everywhere he goes, F1 needs a guy like this.

An overview of Red Bull exceeding the cost cap . It doesn't look like it was in the performance arena but more about paying folks when not on/with the team . Unless I am not understanding what the article says .

Good to see Hinchcliff on the pre race show on F1TV, he's a very nice addition. Also noticed he was wearing a Tshirt of an aircooled 911. Hard not to like the guy.
Amusing comment - paraphrasing "Funny to hear F1 complain about COTA being bumpy, for our indycars this is as close to billliard smooth as it gets"

may last a year or two

but they never did a real subgrade digout and backfill

and likely a part job on the worst bumps
like the last one

Sure!! 😁

It just seems all the nit picking/politics over and over makes me wish for the simpler days - old school. I never watched F1 in early 80s or before. Wished I had.

Too bad the drivers are made to look like clowns with the cowboy hats and riding horses. Typical Texas silliness.

[rfuerst911sc]

Some F1 websites are stating that Williams will announce today that American driver Logan Sargeant has signed with the team for the second seat . Contingent on him securing his super license . Would a team make a major announcement like that knowing that the driver may not get the super license ?
