Formula 1 2023

After all that was said, it turned out to actually be a pretty good race. Even Verstappen, after all his complaining, channelled his inner Elvis

It was an amazing race.

Baku had cover issues. Haters gonna hate. It's a business.

Las Vegas is hands down the best street circuit in terms of overtaking opportunities and overall dynamics. I did not know what to expect but was just blown away by how good it actually was. Proper, proper car racing.
It can become legendary the way Laguna Seca is for Moto GP-aaaand here we have Rossi through the Corkscrew one last time…..chills.

Well done America, hehe.

 

[Tricia]

I caught the end of it. What a fun race to catch.

This is a really well-written article about the drain cover incident:

Fear and Loathing at the Las Vegas Grand Prix: What (Probably) Happened

The first practice session got off to an ignominious start, but the show will go on as planned.

Man, I miss the Rossi/Alien years. My MotoGP interest has really faded since then.

The drain cover incident is nothing new, we had this already in the past and not once-Baku, China, Malaysia..

Yeah, those were the days in Moto GP, first Doohan and then The Doctor who brought it to an entirely new level. Then Mark and now it is a bit meh…

Then Mark and now it is a bit meh…

Wishful thinking, but it would make for an awesome season next year if Mark's change of bikes results in him battling closely with the new Young Guns!

I figured this was going to be one race and done in Vegas. The racing was actually good. Next year they need to start earlier so they aren't driving on ice.

I would hate to live in Vegas for this or visit. The smart person waited until the end to purchase tickets for $85

I have friends that do. They're here, on purpose.

I don't understand that. Hot, crowded, awful traffic, continuous water shortage concerns (but keep building!). No way could I live there.

I mean, there's a crap ton of money there... Get it and get out before it augers in .

Yup. OTOH I'm super stoked that 2+ million people live there, and not by me.

I don't understand that.

I think you missed my point. They love it during the rest of the year - but they're in DC now.

I thought you meant they were there (living there) on purpose. For me, Vegas is still hot, crowded, and has terrible traffic even if you're just visiting.

I thought you meant they were there (living there) on purpose.

Well, now you know what I had meant - though, coincidentally, they are living there on purpose.

But it's also easily true that they're in a completely different silo of interests and slice of demographics than you are.

For me, Vegas is still hot, crowded, and has terrible traffic even if you're just visiting.

What's with the kiddie announcers and the cartoon graphics? Pretty hard to watch.

 

[cantunamunch]

And they're totally missing the good sh*t. ALO/HAM what happened?

That was ESPNU, you needed to watch ESPN for normal broadcast.

Season done. Silly season to start. How long before we know if Sargent is a stay or gone?

 

[cantunamunch]

Season done.

Only 97 days to Bahrain '24 ...

Never mind Williams, the houses Augean stables that really need cleaning are over at Alpine.
