Been trying to be a +1 on a few trips. Didn't make it this year.

Looks like good weather to watch a race this weekend.

Just saw Hamilton's press comments... Say's its his dream to race in Africa, so he will be around when that comes along.

Doubt it will be at Ferrari. I'd imagine some mid-field team, ala Alonso.

Can’t believe how perfect the weather is going to be this weekend. Shorts and t shirt all weekend. Going to try and do some fan experience stuff today.

Our seats are in turn 15. ChatGPT tells me today is a good day to walk around and see the race from different turns/straights.

Yep, definitely get some steps in today.

Lots of good food around. Use plenty of sunscreen, it will ruin your weekend.

Don't be fooled by quick entry today, it will take an hour to enter on Sunday.

Lewis needs to keep away from politics. I like the guy normally, but when he does, he sounds naiive and uneducated.

At least I’m starting to feel better about that Abu Dhabi robbery now.

Pretty much all of them are. Media likes sound bites though. Drives the clicks and gets people talking.

Aston Martin looks impressive (relative to their performance for most of the season). If the Honda engine was so woefully underpowered, I don't think they would be middle of the pack. Did they have a recent upgrade? But hey, it's just FP1. We'll see what they look like in FP3 and qualy.

Saw the talking point this week was going to be how bumpy the track is.

I'm not sure what you specifically are referring to, but I would characterize these guys (including Vettel) more as hypocrites. There is no sport more capitalistic than F1. Bernie said he preferred dictators to democracies because they are decisive and of course they loved throwing their money at Bernie to create a nice sportwashing program. So for drivers to talk about the environment or politics is the height of hypocrisy. The drivers make TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to promote this capitalistic circus. So shut up. Even after you retire. If you made tens of millions of dollars from F1 you are in no position to talk about the environment or politics.

Isn't that the talking point every other year?

They all do because they have been sheltered from real life for decades.

Everyone regurgitates how Ocon was poor and "one of us" even though it ignores his parents not having to work while traveling around Europe supporting his career.

Lewis talks about growing up poor even though his dad owned several companies.

Max told the other drivers "just pay the tax" when referring to a race in Imola despite residing in a Monaco to avoid taxes.

They are just Euro rednecks that use PR to their advantage.

Seems so. COTA repaved a lot of the track a few years ago. Guessing they are trying to get all the life out of it they can with these issues.
