I like Baku.

I thought it looked like a shite Miami/Singapore.

Can’t stand seeing the tracks run under or around overpasses.

We have a week off before Baku. Remember it will be a Saturday race. They moved it to not interfere with Azerbaijan’s Remembrance Day.

Has anyone ever attended the Austin GP?

My wife got me FRI-SUN tickets this year. Super pumped.

Would welcome any tips by anybody that has been.

This will be my first F1 race

If you need a hotel start trying to find something now. Prices have skyrocketed the last few years.

He is Spanish? They paid him to promote the race? He wants to expand F1 in Spain?

There is a lot more than designing the track and the Sainz' are a big name in Spanish motorsports.

Since we have the brain trust here, why can’t Madrid change the track next year? They have plenty of time….

They will likely make some changes. A lot of new tracks do.

I think they can change it up for next year no problem. Think they’ve already said they would.

quote:

The top 3 positions have the heaviest weight (2x the raw score), but every position counts! You can easily look at the scorecards and see where your scores are weak. In a future game we can tweak the weighting factors to more heavily weigh the top 10 places (we can do a poll to see what people think). But I like the way it is now because it's important to pay attention to all of the teams, and the race scores are nicely spread out.



We just need to do a better job with the rest of our picks

Can't post the video bc its IG, but jsut saw a clip where a reporter asks Max about his Karting adventure this weekend.

Reporter: "One of my friends is one of those 100, what advice do you have with Max coming"?

Max "Tell him to get out of the way because i'm going to plow him into the barrier... hahaha..."

Reporter: "Seriously, how fun is it going to be for you"?

Max: "I was very serious, he better move".

Just saw that... I'll take it, doesn't take away from any potential football games or other obligations.

Will stream while working

Cannot wait for this, going to be pure comedic gold if you've ever seen videos of Max when he's gaming.


He's going to be mic'd up and have proximity comms to the other drivers. He's going to have so many great quiips.

Something interesting that has been building steam, Lando testing Mclaren's Le Mans car.

Mclaren is entering WEC in the hypercar capacity starting 2027. Lando has run the 24hrs of Daytona in the past (2018) with Alonso under Zak Brown's United Autosports team.

I didn't realize Lando did any endurance racing.

It was before his f1 drive was full time. He did a lot of Karting still in his early career as well. Runs a Karting team now.

There is also a story of him running Nurburgring during covid under an alias. Probably for a multitude of reasons
