Its not Texas silliness, it is a bunch of Euros' and Aussies' interpretation of Texas. Danny Ric is a hoot but he looks like a clown. If you want to dress like a Texan/cowboy, take a look at the King, George Strait. That is how to dress; Wranglers, roper boots (not high heel pointy toe boots), starched shirt, straw hat in summer, felt in winter. AND FFS, take your hat off when inside (George gets a pass wearing his indoors during a concert).
Danny Ric's horse stunt on Thursday was a bust. He was just sitting on it while a real cowboy led the horse around.
Anyone watch FP2 yesterday? Ant's explanation of the tire testing was great, that guy is one of the sharpest out there and has a plethora of knowledge. Danica had no idea what he was talking about. During his talk, he specifically said the teams/drivers have no idea what compound they are testing. A few minutes later Danica asked whether the drivers/teams knew what compound they were testing.
I ended up not being able to get away to attend yesterday. In a way I'm glad. FP1 was jammed packed. The time to go was FP2, it was a small fraction of the crowd.
Interesting though that the guys in FP2 did 26+ laps. How does that play into engines and how many they get per season???
