Because Vegas, I guess. The time is close to some main event fights they have there. Stupid, but whatever. I'll watch it on my normal European schedule and have breakfast while watching it.

I just saw starting tire pressures are 27/24.5 PSI! That's ludicrous.

Why are they doing this race in the middle of the night and not a normal local times lot like COTA was?


-A huge part of the appeal is it being a night race with all of the Vegas strip lights making it visually stunning
-Also makes it a morning race in Europe and afternoon/evening in Asia.

BREAKING: General Motors says it has registered with the FIA to be an F1 power unit manufacturer from 2028 onwards.

Andretti Cadillac would be powered by a GM power unit should it be successful with its F1 entry #F1

Andretti Cadillac is still targeting 2025 to first enter, but GM has made clear with this announcement that its involvement includes being a full PU manufacturer a few years later #F1


f1 running out of excuses to reject andretti.

No, its all for the European audience.

The allure of Vegas weighs more with foreigners than people here.

Don’t know what to think.

Part of me hates every second of it due to terrible production and direction.
Hate Bert krashter or whatever. Kept trying to talk about Steve aoki and Blake griffin and other celebrities being there…. Pointless.
Cheesey Netflix plugs with the big robot and turning head.
Did I mention audio quality was awful and camera angles pathetic.
Host was awful.

That said, If production was a little better it would have been pretty entertaining.

Netflix first attempt at live sports.

Oh and what was Marshall lynch doing?

Care to explain what these numbers means and why they matter and may differ from setups at other tracks?
