If they don't come and race in my front yard I will not watch.

They left the wide world of sports and I refused to pay for cable to watch them.

Ha, I attended some race in downtown Nola(prarieville) as a kid in the 90s

Apparently it was IMSA Grand Prix Du Mardi Gras.

Think we watched it from some suite type thing in a tall building. No fricking clue exactly, about all I remember of it is the Actor from Coach TV series was racing in it.

I just found out that apparently through my credit card I qualify for free AppleTV....so this whole season I've been bitching about not buying yet another subscription and missing races when I could've been watching for free.

Just heard a stat and it sounds too crazy to be real, but there is one driver that is 1 Q1 elimination away from 100 all time and would be the only one to have that many Q1 eliminations…

Care to guess who?

Ding ding ding


While I'm not shocked, I was surprised. I would have thought with length of time on the grid it would have been Hulk bc I know he'd gone like 200 somethign races without a podium.

Career Q1

Exit StatisticsTotal Q1 Exits: 99 eliminations (the most of any driver since the knockout qualifying format began in 2006).

Record Milestone: He broke the previous record of 74 held by Kevin Magnussen during the 2025 season in Saudi Arabia.

Proximity to 100: Following the Dutch Grand Prix, he sits just one single Q1 elimination away from reaching the unwanted milestone of 100.

Context: Stroll has defended his record by pointing out that qualifying performance is heavily dependent on car development and pace rather than driver skill alone

Lando Norris just resigned with McLaren on a 4 year, $300mm deal.

I like Lando, but jeez Louis, that’s a bit much. Guess Max just bumped up the market.

It’s been a pretty boring silly season for F1. At least Indy car gave us some big moves with more to come

WTF did the inside car think he was going to do. No way he was making that turn with that speed even in dry conditions.
