Yuki enjoyed driving the Ganassi IndyCar two years ago. He had the same comments every F1 driver has when they first drive an IndyCar: the car is fun because you can push it and slide the rear around (which is required for best lap times).

The article sounds like it's unlikely Yuki will get signed for next year, but he would be in the running for 2028 when Meyer Shank will run Honda's factory charter entry.

A "10-year" agreement was signed to run the African Grand Prix starting in the early 2030s.

I feel like this guarantees Lewis Hamilton will be around for a while longer. He’s been pushing them to race in Africa so no way he leaves before they do it.

The race is about five years away. Hamilton will be in a wheelchair by then.

There will be no corruption associated with this event.

Hamilton is “only” 41, Fernando is 45 and just signed an extension. I expect Lewis to do everything he can to race in Africa.

I tend to agree with you.

No way Ferrari keeps him that long though. Just isn't their style. He will need someone to leave from a top team.

Filming of the Ocean’s Eleven prequel at the port of Nice to recreate the Monaco Grand Prix of yesteryear!

Guessing that is going to be a period piece from the 50's or so?

Seeing reported by SkySports that Russell will be taking another PU penalty for the Vegas GP...

How the frick do they know that 4 races ahead of time?

If so, not that it wasn't already over, but its officially over.

Could be when the next ADUO is expected to be available. Plus it is a track that allows a lot of passing.

I would have strongly preferred the race to be held in Sudan or DRC.

Does Bono get enough credit for his role in Lewis’s and now Kimi’s championship runs?

And Button; although I am not sure he was race engineer then.

He’s been in the right place. He was Buttons performance engineer in ‘09 when brawn won it. When brawn was bought by Mercedes he first became Schumacher’s performance engineer and then race engineer. Then Hamilton and now Kimi. This year might be the most impressive.
