Think it’s a given Ham stays with Merc, but would Papa Stroll kick his kid out and bring in Ham if they are #2 in constructors this year?



Papa Stroll knows he needs the best car to stand a chance. He will take the best driver available ourside of his son, but he doesn't need to pay for Hamilton to gain some sort of advantage.

No way Hamilton and Merc end their partnership, no reason to do so for either side. No one has a better chance of beating RBR than Merc and there are no drivers above Hamilton looking for a job.

Has anyone figured out what hotel you can stay at and just parts of the race from a balcony, bridge, or rooftop?

I just looked up Senor Frogs. I get bottle service and a VIP table for up to 6 people on November 18th at 9 PM. Is this too good to be true?

12 hours of Sebring. Can’t wait to see him do the endurance races in real life. Guarantee he’ll take a year off before 30 to do all the endurance races.

How did you do that? I can't get anything to open on their website.

Aside from paying $20 per beer, if your table looks out to Las Vegas Boulevard, I'd say you did well.

I went to Eventbrite and found the events they had the night of the race.

That's the part I'm worried about. How is it going to be if I show up that night? Will I be able to walk around upstairs? I noticed they have a bar with stools upstairs near the balcony.

In other news, the left wing Brazilian government has ordered Nelson Piquet to pay a $1m. fine for saying what they claim is a portugese black/gay slur in reference to Hamilton in 2021.

for collective moral damages, to be allocated to funds for the promotion of racial equality and discrimination against the LGBTQIA+
I don't speak Portugese, and I'm not defending whatever he said, but that's fricking insane. Elections have consequences.

The charges were filed by several human rights groups, including Brazil’s National LGBTI+ Alliance.

In their complaint, the human rights groups said that Piquet violated the norm of human dignity enshrined in the country’s constitution. The judge said Piquet’s comments corresponded to the definition of racial discrimination outlined in Brazil’s 2010 Statute of Racial Equality.




To each country their own...I guess

I couldn’t imagine having a 4.0+ license, registering for a race, doing a few practice laps and mfing VES joins the race. Which is why iRacing is so much more legit than the other race sims.

Hard to believe washed up old timers in inferior equipment aren't schooling the rest of the field.

F1 drivers are probably wondering why it takes an extra 45 seconds to get around COTA.

Which proves the point it ain't the driver, it's the vehicle....

Way more than in an F1 race tho.
At least this isn't a bunch of glorified parade laps like the typical F1 race.

Unlike F1 where the cars drive themselves (with excessive downforce, traction and brakes, NASCAR drivers have to know how to actucally control a car that doesn't do everything for them.

I guess all the F1 interlopers are missing the push to pass button....

Turn one on a restart looks like a noob online lobby.

All gas into turn one, drift into someone on the outside, keep going.


Crowd certainly seems to agree with you. NASCAR, never been better.
