Keep hearing about ticket prices plummeting, so went to StubHub and looked up.

Can pick up grandstand tix on all sides of the track outside of the paddock area for around $700 for race night.

Who wants to go?

Pirelli will dictate minimum pressures and cambers to protect the integrity of the tires. It's based on things like temperature, lateral loading on turns, track abrasion, etc.

For other track references this year (random sample):

Front Camber / Rear Camber / Front PSI / Rear PSI
Las Vegas: -3.00 / -1.75 / 27.0 / 24.5
Hungary: -3.50 / -2.00 / 22.0 / 18.0
COTA: -3.00 / -1.75 / 23.0 / 20.0
Japan: -2.75 / -1.50 / 25.0 / 23.0

For the importance, look at Baku 2021. Both Stroll and Max had blowouts because the starting tire pressure was set too low by Pirelli. They expected more of an increase due to to temperature that never materialized, so the tires wore different than expected and cause structural failure.

They're setting the Vegas tire pressures higher than any other race this year, probably because of the temperature.

Driver61 had a recent video that briefly touched on this while talking about tire toes.

I watched about 30 minutes of the first episode this morning and can't wait to finish it. Seems really well done so far.

Maybe that is plummeting, but probably still twice as much as face on that ticket.

It can. There's less contact area on the tires when they're run at higher pressures.

@PokerStars is becoming the first @RedBullRacing sponsor to brand the team's wheel covers for a race, with its logo featuring on poker chip-looking wheels this weekend at Vegas.

The @FlutterPLC-owned brand will do a giveaway with one of the wheels signed by Max Verstappen.



Wonder who will get Lady Gaga to sponsor her old song Poker Face?

@DrinkBodyArmor is getting into @F1 for the first time with a sponsorship of @F1LasVegas, becoming the official sports drink of the race.

It will promote its Flash I.V. drink by providing it to drivers and having advertising around the circuit including on the Sphere.

They really got a very extensive group of folks for the Brawn doc.

Signore Luca Cordero di Montezemolo doesn't look or act like he is any happier about losing Ross and getting beat by him than he was 14 years ago.

I liked how Jean Brawn was reticent to have their name on the car since it might be shite. Also to Ross on the financial side essentually just don't lose the house.

It won't be readable during the race, and even during pit stops the logo will hardly be visible to anyone.

I'm surprised no F1 team has figured out how to make the wheel covers into floaters to increase the advertising space on the cars.

I know they're for aero purposes but I really wish they'd do away with the wheel covers completely. Under those covers is a really good looking 18" wheel. I'd love to one day see a Ferrari sporting gold wheels again. Even the Alpha Tauri when they ran white wheels looked good.

The F310 was a beautiful car but was a donkey. IRCC that was the picture taken at winter testing which was the first time Michael had been in a Ferrari. The successor to it, the F310b, was the first Ferrari designed under Ross Brawn as the technical director. Brawn got promoted when Todt moved the whole team from England to Italy and Bernard wouldn't go. I think it is interesting how Luca is staring at Michael like a prize racehorse, while on the other side, Eddie looks all alone.


Bit of trivia: at the press conference that day Luca promised the car would win three races and in the hand of Schumacher that is exactly what it did including the all-important Italian GP at Autodromo Nazionale Monza aka La Pista Magica.

Higher tire pressures also increases the overall spring rate, which will make the car more loose.
