On the Aurospiort podcast Alex Kalonokus(sp) said that they were randomly forcefully checking occupied hotel rooms for firearms. I know I’ll never go to Vegas now

Disaster? Hardly. It’s a class action lawsuit. Hundreds of those are files weekly. Race will go on.


considering anemic ticket sales, escalating track/paddock construction costs that exceeded initial projections and a class action lawsuit , I don’t see how this race lasts beyond the 3 year initial contract.

history is riddled with the graves of over hyped street races in this country that eventually failed

I understand wanting the spectacle of it, but we have some really great racetracks in this country that could easily be adapted to work well for F1. Just use them.

In an interview Toto was asked about what happened at P1/P2 being a black eye on the event and he basically responded with a “stfu” and that this event is actually setting a new bar in a lot of areas/world class. I don’t know if he’s saying that bc F1 wants him to say that but it seems like it’s actually going a lot better and nicer than people are making it out to be.

I actually kind of like the track. At this point, F1 not giving Ferrari some slack over something they had no control over looks worse than the actual track malfunction.

It's internet culture. Outrage gets dramatically more clicks that positivity, so that's what people write.

People will look back and question if the technical advancement brought forward by the Information Age was worth the harm to humanity that social media and the internet wraught.

There’s an abundance of shitty place to read about F1 but that’s probably the worst.

Like a stupid person that doesn’t know the difference between qualifying and a race

Surely you must think Logan Sargent is a top 10 driver after this morning, right?

Bro. Those aren’t even real people. Liberty has 11 FTE that are at global HQ in Vegas. You need to stop with this fake news. Vegas loves F1.

Have you seen the pits during Indy? They're packed with celebs, F1 could draw more and actually have a good race on a great track.
