Next year looks to be veterans vs. rookies. Lots of old hats and lots of young bucks.

I understand the full context of his quote and have no problem with it. He is accurate. Just pointing out that picking his words a little more precisely would stop the clickbait opportunity.

Looks like Bottas has been living his best life off track this whole year. Making the most out of driving that shite box.
Y’all remember when the Alpine was supposed to be a POS too?



Yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see Bottas retire. Seems like he enjoys cycling with his wife in cool places more than actually driving.

No retirement for him. He's the Merc reserve driver next year

Red Bull would have dominated the constructors championship this year with Bottas in Checos seat.

Fan of a cheeky Brit checking in to note that nothing about Red Bull’s domination has been fun.

Could definitely see him making a push to be a pro gravel cyclist of some kind. He already has a sponsorship with Canyon.

Not going to lie, Red Bull probably would have dominated with 90% of the drivers on the grid in Checco's seat.

I was never a Checco fan but I defended him a decent amount over the years but holy crap he has been about as bad as someone could possibly be in a car that fast.

Unless that makes him upset and he doesn’t pour the money into the sport like he has been doing

I don’t understand your logic. FIA is governing body. Money comes from Liberty media owners right?

Just did the quick math and it would be tied if Checo would have averaged between 5th and 6th in every race

I didn't go last year but am going this year.

I would say get a hotel on the MGM rail shuttle. You can sign up for a free online MGM gaming account and get tickets buy one get one 50% off. The shuttle will drop at the Sphere all the way down to MGM.

We're at the Hilton Grand Vacation Paradise, 2 bedrooms, two bath with a full kitchen. Two couples so it costs just about as much as two separate rooms.

I'd wait a bit longer for tickets. I do know they dropped considerably last year closer to the race and appears to be the same this year.

I can't wait. F1, college football Saturday. We're golfing at least once, Cirque show with the wives, and hanging out and going to the Alabama Houston basketball game on Tuesday.

He did an Ironman today on a Peleton and Treadmill just for shits and giggles.

I honestly couldn't think of anything more miserable on earth.

I bumped into him once, it was a three second interaction and we didn't talk.

He’s short, and very intense. I can easily imagine him doing incredibly unfun things like treadmill Ironmans.
