Also, for AM, they clearly copied, eh hem, built a nice race car, but im not sure they have the development skills to leapfrog RB. They do have the wind tunnel time advantage.

i think they just missed the mark on the rule changes
The 1-2 in Brazil might have been the worst thing to happen to Merc. Gave them enough false confidence to give the concept another go this season, instead of going back to the drawing board.

If the rumors are true that Allison is back then I would expect to see a major shift by mid-summer break.

Elliot might have put all his eggs in the slimpod design and now will die with it.

To couple that with news that Ferrari Aero Chief had resigned and is headed to Mclaren.

Speaking of McLaren, it sounds like they are getting closer to doing an engine deal with Red Bull for the new regs in 2026.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner confirmed that McLaren have held talks over a potential engine deal from 2026.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown recently visited Red Bull’s factory in Milton Keynes, as he eyes an engine partnership for three years’ time when new F1 regulations come into force, with engines modified to produce net zero CO2 emissions.

Can't even imagine what hotels are going to cost that weekend. They were completely obscene for the Pac-12 title game this year because of the rodeo and that's probably 1/8 of the people that will be there for F1.

Poor bastards. Have they ever been on the right side of an engine move?

My parents have pretty good status at Caesars, usually able to get rooms or tickets to anything outside of a huge fight, and their host told them that they weren't even in the realm of being able to sniff tickets that weekend. That weekend is going to be like Monaco or the Super Bowl at least until the newness wears off.

I'm curious if the LV race is going to eventually kill the Miami race.

LVCVA wants to buy $7 million worth of F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix tickets

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) Board of Directors will be considering approving the purchase of up to $7 million of race and hospitality tickets for the November 2023 Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. This will be during the monthly March 14 board meeting.

Tickets for the race begin at $500 for standing-room-only general admission. Other price points for tickets are $1,500, $2,000, $8,000 and $10,000.

According to the LVCVA, the $7 million purchase will include $2.8 million worth of tickets that will “be resold to destination properties and other partners and community members for their use.”

The LVCVA said its request also includes $3.45 million “of race and hospitality tickets for our current and future customers.” In justifying this expense, the LVCVA said, this race “presents a one-time opportunity to bring the LVCVA’s and the destination’s largest current and potential customers to the city”

Will post live all 3 days. Cannot wait!

Also, I don’t have a silk shirt, am not Asian, and am not an Arab prince.
