It was a funny comment if you know the show and story.
But Colapinto will lose his seat because Alpine spends most of their time doing this shite these days.

Jesus. It sure was. I should have known it would draw some backlash for the crazy Argentinians, but shite.

Little day two recap.
After a long day one we planned on a more relaxing day two. Woke up a little later and got there around 10:30.
We wanted to watch some of the action from a different spot so for a portion of the moto GP demonstration laps and Historic race we went and sat in the general admission seating in turn 3. You get to see some high speed racing there and it was really cool seeing them him the quick twist there at basically full speed. The cars have so much traction at that speed it almost looks fake in person. Don’t even know how to describe it but almost like those hot wheels race tracks that are super fast. Was glad we went and sat there for a different perspective but probably wouldn’t want three days of section because it’s your neck moving back and forth and even by the end of P3 I was ready to be back at our seats.
Crowd was certainly bigger yesterday obviously. But this place is extremely efficient. Even with the massive crowds they have so much food and beverage sections that you’re never really waiting that long. The $15 beers and $25 margaritas are getting a little old though. I’m glad we came Friday because the fan experience stuff on the weekend is a much much longer wait.
The Porsche race was actually a lot of fun. They race hard and had a good bit of action and numerous crashes. Lot of action in the turns. And good lord they are loud. Like significantly louder than the F1 cars imo.
I for some reason had a feeling that the quick times were going to come from the drivers first laps in Q3. So it was slightly anti climatic but it really didn’t change the fan experience aspect of it. Was kind of surprised but Kimi is the most popular driver. I guess fans like a winner but him and Lewis have the most people cheering for them. The Haas livery is sick in person.
Skipped the concert again and went back to the room and chilled for a while then went and got some ramen and then a nice cocktail bar.
Will update our Sunday and some tips for any future goers

That’s cool. We enjoyed the concerts in the past. Even packing along our young son to see The Killers, Queen and saw some Britney Spears by ourselves in 2018 before he was born.
It is crazy/sad how the other race cars are louder than F1 these days but I am wondering if they’re slightly louder now they don’t have the MGU-H in the turbo this year.
The sprint format was pretty cool to have in person in 2022 too because every day of the weekend had some legitimate action.

How’s parking/traffic this year?

Porsche Cup cars are loud. 4.0 liter NA engine vs the 1.6 liter turbo hybrid in F1. Porsche cup have massive explosions going on under the back hood.
I've never heard F1 and GT cars side by side, but I've seen several Indy races that hosted GT races, and those GT cars put out intense sound and put Indy to shame when you're standing next to the track. You hear the whine of the Indycars between your ears, but you feel the GT cars deep in your body.

The V8 Mustangs at Barber last year were by far the loudest cars

The woman with Coulthard on the pre-race has a nice rack.

Missed that.
Here for the race though on Sky Sports feed.

Did the soft vs medium just show only a 1 lap life delta?

Who gets punted in T1? It happens every year. My money is on Hamilton just because.

Finally watching it at a reasonable hour again, sailing the high seas.

The Ferraris with a rocket start. Completely overwhelmed Hadjar.

Hell yes, Charl.

So much for that,
Kimi with 2.3 s lead in lap one

Kimi crushed that start. Glad to see he's learned.
