That's three great ideas right there. They should get us on the payroll. Or at least some tickets to a race.

Max about racing with number 69

"I actually wanted #69, but my dad said ‘that’s not a good idea’. But that number always looks the same, no matter how you look at the car! #69 would be very good for the photos and marketing, and for the caps as well."

he's so?????😭😭 pic.twitter.com/ERGsOqerDk

Yeah less on the cars and more on the merchant but I barely remember anyone's number

P2 has been a disaster

They need to rethink the Thursday-Saturday weekend structure. I have never seen such a slow day for F1 ever since the 2021 boom. Not even F1 could fill the grandstands for both FPs...and don't get me started on the F1 Academy sessions, so empty even on their own Hello Kitty grandstand (where I was). Quali had maybe 30 people at most, the guy with the feed camera never picked it up lol.

I will say, do resale if you come. My HK thursday was $51 vs $240 from Ticketmaster. Today I am at Turn 4 for $180 vs $280, my biggest win was main grandstand on Saturday for $780 vs $1600 from Ticketmaster. You just need to be on top of the Stubhub app refreshing every hour. All of these I scored this week, the main grandstand I got yesterday morning while in line for the Hub.

I broke my never buy merch in person rule and got the $300 Hello Kitty F1 Academy jacket but everyone loves it lol

Yeah before the boom I would get main grandstand at COTA (including access to indoor club stuff) for Friday stuff for dirt cheap. I wanna say like $60 or $70. We would do that every year but I would wait til day of to buy.

Never seen any F1 Academy racing before. Turned it on and in the first 10 seconds two women wreck during the formation lap. The jokes just write themselves.

Q1 with 6 minutes left has:

• ALO
• RUS
• GAS
• BEA

Verstappen and Leclerc in Elimination Zone.

I love wet qualifying.

This is a wild Q1

Rare appearance of the wets

In their defense, that's a Lance Stroll signature move

That RB Vegas livery is slick

Too much drama in F1A behind the scenes about a certain driver involved in that that goes far back to the first round in Shanghai.

Both drivers involved in that accident went to the stewards and they both agreed they were victims of the one in front, they didn't blame each other at all. I talked to one of them and then with her mechanic late at night when they were still working in her car and even the team was fed up with their own driver that caused the incident. Not the first time two of the teammates clash, in Shanghai over the radio their race engineers were basically begging them to work together as a team and stop attacking each other (they both collided in both races that weekend and since then there's just no relationship at all).

It sucks because it robbed everyone from seeing Maya fight, BUT I am very happy to see that Aurelia went from P16 to P4 (P3 after Alisha got DSQ) and Rachel Robertson went up to P5, she's the one with least experience in single seaters, she was in the F1 Academy Navarra test in September, the one in Bahrain in October, then had done F4 Saudi over the last month so she's properly races less than 6 times, survived a street circuit in rain conditions and scored points, hoping she gets sponsors and a seat next year.

Kristi Noem is an F1 fan? Who knew.

Oh Lando. What a botch

No idea what Lando was thinking there.

Bortoletto just t-bone straight into Stroll.

Lewis with a great opening stint, already cut the field in half practically.

Wondering if Norris can chase down Max. Should be interesting finish.

Here comes 15 laps of Lando catching up to Max, then a VSC stopping the pass

Sent same text to my buddies watching

I don't think Lando can get there. That delta hasn't really changed.

Kimi is doing a fantasist race with his tires basically the entire race old. I know he will drop to 6th or 7th.

McLaren. "Just do more. "

That is quite the fireworks show

Just starting. How tf is 50 laps a "sprint "?
