Observatioms after both practices

It was hot today which might have kept some fans away

Hamilton is trying to increase his woke score in case he invests in an American sporting team

Danica, at least I could understand her talking unlike last weeks woman. Not saying I like her commentary but understood it and overall not too bad as they bounce around a lot in practice coverage.

HUL had a great lap in P1 but then wrecked. Gotta be smart, last year Haas was hurt in having extra parts by early season wrecks from SHU

Max has so much speed its scary good.

F1 has always been a glitzy event. I miss the pre race gals assigned to each team. The US owner is just ramping it up more (the glitz). Hate drivers who inject politics though and F1 does need to put a stop to it lest they harm the product. All it does is piss off one half or the other. HAM is seeing end of career and trying to stay relevant so goes political. Same as Vettel did at his ending. Just retire then or don’t come to states since you hate it so much.

Indy racing beats F1 by leaps and bounds. But I like racing and these techy cars. Only passing will be start madness and then driver errors during race (or pit stop leaps). But as powerful as F1 cars are its a challenge to stay focused all race long and not make a mistake. So someone overcooks a corner and goes off a bit will allow passing.

Rain on Sat or Sun would shake things up.

Would love to see an F1/Indy double header on same track to compare racing. Doubt Indy goes worldwide but their cars would race better on most tracks. The PTP is mich better and gives option to driver when to strategically use.

FE race in Monaco today, should be able to catch the replay. Pretty solid race.

Really want to watch NOLAsport run iN Miami, but having trouble with their streaming. Part of the Carrera series running with F1 this week. Anyone use IMSAtv?

Bezos chick had had more facial surgery than an 80 year old congresswoman. Looks like a dude

If Indy took its platform worldwide and started racing at the world's best circuits

A lot to be disappointed about with IndyCar but the tracks/schedule aren’t it. I’d say the circuits compare favorably to F1’s.

Looks like he's wearing her pass so the tits are not obscured.

What the hell is wrong with Bezos?! Being giga-rich is enough, but he also put in the time and effort to improve his appearance, and that's who he chooses to be with?

McLaren.

Maybe a Mag penalty will get Norris into Q2.

ETA: nm. That’s not how it works.

Lewis gets the Q3 period off so more time to tweet about his social views

Ha Lewis.
