Honda probably covers Yuki out of their own money and gives him to RBR as a driver.

If they do not have a suitable driver to put in that seat they instead have to pay for one or pay full price for the sponsorship.

It is similar to paying for a driver spot, Honda is just not giving RBR the money to give Yuki.

One week out for USGP and the weather is looking warm and dry in Austin.

At least Danny RIC will be back and Haas might have some more pace.

Still hoping for a Ferrari or a McLaren strong showing to make it interesting.

Looked rainy earlier in the week, but the weather is looking nice now.

Mid-90s may have people dropping in the stands though. 80s is normally pretty roasty for the stands.

If his race helmet is an A&M replica, I hope he loses his seat.

If you are going Friday/Saturday walk the whole track and scope out a place for Sunday. Look for places that have views of corners that might have some overtaking and may have a view across the track to some other spots.

Get there early on Sunday. Over the last few years the race has gotten so crowded that its tough to find a good spot to park a chair for GA. when I first went in 2018 I got there pretty much as the race was starting and had a great view the whole race. Went in 2022 and couldn't get close to that spot even though I was a couple of hours early.

knew Vegas was going to be a night race but didn't realize that times would be so late. Qualifying will start at 2AM central with the race starting at midnight.


Just saw this what the hell..
well this is stupid, saw articles now claiming how this is the perfect time for a race to go off for the Vegas lights experience. Piss off with that crap, only reason it was done is so the euro fans can catch it Sunday morning. Guess I’ll be watching the on demand version of the race and qualifying which is really odd for a race in the states.

Lol wut? Lawson has shown better skill in 5 races than Yuki has in 2 years.

I like Lawson and I think he should be in F1 next year, and I think he has a higher ceiling than Yuki. But Red Bull knows they made a mistake with Albon, promoting him way too soon. I think they'll want Lawson in the AT for a season before promoting him. I believe they want to fire Perez and put Danny in the Red Bull next year, but they still need Danny to prove himself in the AT first, and I think they must have been pretty unhappy with his injury delaying their evaluation. If Danny is no better than Yuki the rest of the season, I would promote Yuki.

The public vibe from Red Bull is that Perez simply needs to finish the season P2 in the championship. But over the last three races McLaren has scored significantly more points than Red Bull. If they continue to outscore Red Bull the rest of the season, then P2 in the championship is not a sufficient metric for Perez. I have to believe they are looking for a reason to fire him so they'll have room for Lawson next year. The guy's too good to not be in F1 next year.

If you can go on the Friday, I would highly recommend it, even if it’s just to get a lay of the land. The facility is big and confusing to get around on a non race weekend, so just imagine what a race weekend brings.

Also, idk if you have bought a parking pass yet? But I would def look into what routes to take to get specifically to that lot. My biggest headache in the past was just all the logistics involved to get into the track/facility.

But once you get past that headache, it’s a blast! - Bring binoculars if you can as well.

Any idea on how easy it is to get in and out of the area with a parking pass?

I've read horror stories. The concensus seems to be to stay for the concert(s) afterwards.

LOL. The year I had a parking pass I sat in the parking lot for about an hour without moving. Tried the shuttle bus back to town and that was no better.

They're a shite show. We always stay in the RV lot so it's not as bad when you can pop in and out back to the RV for food and drinks.

Seriously though if you have a parking pass then you might as well stay after the race and kill some time. When we went in 2021 we stayed for the Saturday night concert and once at the car were back in downtown Austin in 30 minutes. On Sunday we left right after the race and it took 3 hours. I wished we'd have just killed a couple hours at the track, there's some post race concerts and stuff like that. Having some snacks and road beers in the car made the wait a little better.
