Now Piquet sounding off that killing the sitting President wouldn't be that bad of a move.

Disgraced former F1 world champion Nelson Piquet is at the centre of more controversy after cursing Brazil's new president.

A presidential election in Piquet's homeland saw Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva return to office by narrowly beating far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. Piquet, aged 70, from Rio de Janeiro, was clearly unhappy with the election winner and has been filmed cursing Silva.

Piquet, who has face paint on each cheek in the video clip is seated with a man, who says: "Look who I'm with here, this big champion Nelson Piquet."

Piquet says: "We're going to get Lula, son of a b****, out of here." The man adds: "That's it! Brazil above everything, God above everything." The former F1 champion then concludes: "And Lula there in a cemetery, son of a b****."

I don't have a problem with Nelson's position. Seems a shitload of Brazilians feel about the same.

yeah I'm definitely not a lula fan but talking about killing someone is a bridge too far for any sane person

Meanwhile, back to racing...

A few years ago when they announced that WEC is switching from the LMP1 car to the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH), they said a bunch of manufacturers were on-board, so I was very much anticipating this change. It took longer than I expected, but now we're seeing these additional manufacturers, including Ferrari.

Here's a cool video about the new Ferrari LMH car, and how the F1 cost cap rules made it possible for them to devote the massive resources required to create the LMH car and enter the cateogry:

Interlagos - one of the classic circuits in F1 with devoted fans.

Would be terrible to lose this race.

When engine is weak vs When engine is Godly

Difference between the Mercedes and Ferrari engines in 2017 vs 2018/19.

Don't care if Ferrari cheated those two years. Damn those engines were something. Can't believe how easily the Ferrari destroyed the Mercedes down the Kemmel straight. Made for competitive championships at least for a bit in the turbo-hybrid era.

I tried but the only ones I see are $8000 hospitality seats. Not sure what's going on with Ticketmaster.



I was in the queue right before noon and GA tickets were all gone by the time it was my turn.

It's almost a certainty that Max will win the next two races unless something crazy happens. Hopefully next year someone (I hope it's Ferrari) will challenge them to make for a more entertaining championship race/constructors cup. Way too many races were over before they even started.

Hopefully Ferrari AND Mercedes can challenge them next year. Not that I want Merc to win but the more teams fighting for the constructors championship the better. Ferrari could have been much more competitive this year if not for a variety of mistakes and reliability issues. If they can get on top of those probems (big if) then next year will be a lot of fun to watch.

LH has been really good at Interlagos historically, but Max wins almost certainly unless there's rain...

Read that Las Vegas ticket prices will exceed the Super Bowl’s prices.

I've got two listed at middle of the market prices. Tickets listed from 3k to 4.5k. some have it at 6750 per ticket and one guy has it at 19k.

but hey, they supposedly include food and non alcoholic beverages all weekend?

I'm not for or against the 3 sprint races, but if they're going into PF after fp1, either the session needs to be extended, or they need to have two practice sessions before quali. I feel like we're not getting the best performance out of the cars after 60 minutes.

I guess the Devils advocate to that is we might get better racing if the top teams get it wrong and a mid pck gets it right?
