F1 putting out statement saying govt assured them they were safe…. I’m sure it was like the rumor states “you need to race to remain safe”

At my core I am a selfish little frick, I wanna see the race, period.

That being said this is honestly ridiculous. I was surprised when they didn't cancel last week. After yesterday I just don't see how you can't despite the money.

Couldn’t agree more… but lie with dogs and you get fleas.

Why they ever went to Saudi is beyond me.

Crofty was talking to the Alpine team principal just now in FP3. Alpine TP stated all of the TP’s voted to race.

“Does Fernando Alonzo have many different sets of underpants, today, after that snap-over incident yesterday? "

These UK announcers!

GD, even though max was .3 back, that onboard ride was intense.

I love being at the race, but there's no way to get THAT (Verstappen's ride) at the track. Only TV can provide that.

I took my Mustang GT, which has been lowered, out last night and enjoyed a few moments at triple digits, but cannot imagine flying around corners like that without spinning out and flying off the road. The grip these cars have to the track is incredible.

I rode along a couple times and it seemed he was still learning his way through some of the corners. Is getting faster each time out it seems.

I feel he would easily be in top 10 right now if he got the laps he should have yesterday.
