I’m in for the strategist , all day long!!

Audi 2026 concept car, just a paint job on a show car

Challenging for the championship in 2030, ye olde 3yr F1 plan, but in todays F1 world it's an inflation busting 5yr plan,

Think there is a long queue of more established teams, full of more experienced people, working more hours, that will make that an impossible task

I'll predict maybe 5th will be Audi's best championship finish between now and end of 2030

Kinda like Ferrari's last 10 years?

They seem to have made a pretty fair jump this year. Indeed a lofty goal given everyone else isn’t going away anytime soon.

A Toto payday

5% of 4.6b is a pretty large number. Plus he still owns and controls most of 1/3 of the team.

$230M is a healthy nest egg.

Who could possibly need Alpine's 'secrets'? Ford? Cadillac? Audi?

It is 38 degrees in Vegas right now. What is the wind chill at 200 MP in 38 degree temps? :eek:

It was warmer tonight. A bit of the sprinkle but nothing causing grief.

I HATE ESPN!

They were showing people playing some silly game with a large ball, so the first 30 minutes of P2 was just cut off. Once again, show some stupid game and not a sport.

Then the Sky Sports coverage was more focused on Fred's frown, and other random crap, and not showing the cars on track. Then more red flags for track issues. Incredible that after all the time for preparation, the track can't secure a manhole cover.

Ah well. I will be hopeful the F1 TV has better coverage. I honestly don't care about the crown shots of people during the time the cars are on track.
