I love that the Dutch don't hide what they feel. I used to work with a bunch of them in New Orleans, and they don't give a frick if what they say may hurt your feelings.

New event. Everyone wants to be “first”. TikTok and selfy era, gotta get em and post online to impress online friends most have never met.


Or they could be F1 fans and wanted the full experience and see a show. is this how you feel about every social event?

Vegas is such a trashy, weird place.
I hope the race is at least interesting.

Safety car lap drive video

Here's a video of the track... I can't believe that pit exit.

Thoughts on last night:

Rain probably kept a lot of people from watching in the stands.

Nearly everyone we talked to it was there first or second gp.

Definitely felt like a dog and pony show, but isn’t that what Vegas is. There is an attempt to show value for price of tickets.

Locals are pissed about traffic but most we talked to see it as just another event like the nfl draft or superbowl.

Everyone said this city is dirty. They must’ve cleaned it up because it’s a hell of a lot nicer than Atlanta and New Orleans. And I don’t feel like I’m about to get shanked like those cities.

His comment a few min in about it being over the top, the American way, and what the Americans want it out of touch... This isn't for the American Audience as demonstrated by the midnight start. Its for the Europeans.

And funny about the RaceWknd magazine focused on Vegas and Hamilton being the main centerpiece when just yesterday he did and interview and basically blasted F1 on interrupting peoples lives in the city for the event, yet he was one of the ones pushing to race in vegas.... he was getting blown up on social media about it.

Sorry, link on Youtube changed. I updated the link in my post.

But yea, that pit exit is going to be dangerous. Also, some of these corners are really hard to spot, and a late turn will put you head first into a protruding barricade. For such a simple layout, it's dicey.

Also to Ross on the financial side essentually just don't lose the house.
iirc he bought out Honda for a buck and won the drivers and constructors titles then sold 75% to merc for 100 mill a year later. Hopefully his wife was happy with that

Honda executive still has the pound he sold the team for.

I’d still like to see a proper Honda works team.
