Just got back home (DFW area) from COTA. Man, we had a great time, today. The DRS zone and speed trap on the straightaway between turns 11-12 was amazing today, then the battles between 12 and 17 had the crowd excited and amazed the entire race. Takeover after takeover happened there, today
Got pics live as it happened of the Stroll/Alonzo crash. Pics are on my camera, so I need to take them off and put them up online to post here.
The parking and traffic management was a thousand times better than last year! They still suck on making cell signals available. Could not use the phone to track the race, or TD, but thankfully radio station 1370am broadcast the race announcers live.
The announcers talking about how windy it was weren't kidding. Dozens of people lost hats that blew off the stands. I imagine it played hell with the cars.
Finally, I have no idea why Ed Sheeran is so popular. His performance on Saturday night at COTA was so out of place. After three songs, thousands were leaving. My group, too. After the amazing show by Green Day on Friday night, his was a huge letdown.

What a clusterfrick of a race in regards to procedures.
1) Russell only gets 5 seconds?
2) Perez doesn't get shown a meatball for something that most other teams would.
3) Gasly gets a penalty for the 10 car length rule, and it gets penalized during the race. Compare that to Checo's two infractions and a delayed penalty in Singapore.
4) Alonso doesn't get shown a meatball flag, but somehow still gets penalized hours after the race.
Never change, FIA and stewards.

When George would fly by, he'd get boo'd throughout the race. Nobody pulled for Russell. He seems supremely unlikable, anyway, but refuses to personally accept it. His aggressive, but garbage style of driving and smug demeanor are very off-putting. Taking out a popular driver/car on the first turn of the first lap won him no points with the fans.

@ESPN confirms that it has renewed U.S. media rights for three more years through 2025, and the races will continue to air commercial free.
The extension includes additional streaming rights for @ESPNPlus and will see ESPN commit to more shoulder programming of the sport.

Do we only get to see the grid walks when they air the races on abc? Only time I see them. I really like sky’s overall presentation.

They're part of the broadcast for each race, I honestly don't mind them. Most of the time he catches up with actual F1 involved people, drivers, team people, former drivers, etc. and it's good commentary. Seems its when we get to the big flashy races(COTA, Miami, Monaco) that he tries to interview celebrities and people there because they have a million social media followers that don't know shite about F1 or don't want to talk to him so it just ends up super awkward. Or when he stalls out and can't find anyone to talk too, maybe they should have someone off camera grabbing people for him to talk to so he doesn't end up with just a bunch of dead space.

Sounds like Will Buxton doesn't like Martin's grid walks either. F1TV vs Sky Sports Grid Walk Fight

If you're not paying to be on the pre-race grid, then I'm sorry, it's all fair game to have a mic shoved in your face.
I've said it before, but y'all will know if I'm ever on the grid. I'm hunting down Brundle and shoving that mic in my face myself. He doesn't know who half the famous people are anyways.

Here's the Stroll/Alonzo crash from my viewpoint.

The best sounding ones are the 2011 cars with the hot blown diffusers. The engines go from screaming in the straights to sounding like they're going to explode out the back end. I've never had the pleasure of hearing one in person (I'd love to "feel" it), but hearing them in videos is still pretty awesome. An amazing work of engineering.

I know Alonso had a scary ride, but I can only imagine how badly Stroll was shitting himself as he went perpendicular to the track. He was a sitting duck.
