You see LeClerc pulled a Piastri on X?

I understand that, without my agreement, Scuderia Ferrari F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them in 2025. This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Ferrari for 2025. I will not be driving for Ferrari for 2025.

Oh dear, that is not great by Ferrari.

So track janitor will be a very interesting gig. As some may have suspected it does involve clean-up of debris, but also ensuring that the driver and car are safe as well as being involved with moving the car either with human power or a lift.

One day alone is dedicated to training.

I haven't found any such story on the internet. Can you point to a source? Pretty much think this is fake news.

It came directly from Charles LeClerc's X account (formerly Twitter), could be fake?!

I don't see it there either but I'm not a good searcher.

The old F1 Vegas track and the new track.

I haven't seen it on any site I frequent. I've seen plenty of articles reporting that he's currently in the beginning stages of negotiating with Ferrari for '25 and beyond, but nothing like the Oscar saga.

Going to be the coldest F1 race in the history of F1

Will be interesting to see who screws up on getting the tyres up to temperature

Think I'm going to watch this race, been years since I did

Looks like they will have something in common (apart from merely being in a craphole): lack of imagination, and boring as f#¢k.

BTW, the new layout looks like a walking pig in outline....

Cool… :D

It will be tough with temps and a super green track. No other events to rubber up the surface.

I went to the Ceasars Palace parking lot grand prix and I will be at this one.

I hope they don’t have many DRS zones.

The new Las Vegas track is shaped like a Piggy Bank.

I’m a Ferrari fan and thats funny.

cold temps
 

Hey Captain Ahab,

How much of a challenge will it be to get or keep any temp in the tires and do you think this will have a major impact on race?
the long run down the strip certainly isnt going to help either!

Why are they running Vegas at night?

Hi Jeff, my guess will be after a pit stop it could make the driver vulnerable as he gets his tyres upto temp without cornering so hard the tyres are damaged, don't think there will be a problem with keeping the tyres up to temp as Pirelli will have developed compounds for just this race

David, I read it was so F1 could capture the largest world wide audience

tires
 

thanks Captain!

I didn't realize that they had any tire options beyond C0-C5 compounds
but that makes sense!

One other factor is the fact that there are no support races for this event, combined with some fresh paving, should provide a challenge to the teams. I learned about this firsthand this year at Road America (as a vintage racer)
the new pavement was AWESOME, but the level of grip off line was significantly lower as it had no rubber laid down!

but since they are the best in the world I'm sure its a welcome challenge

I appreciate your expertise and insight!

Jeff

Thanks Jeff, I'm not a tyre expert but Ross Brawn is ...
