1970's F1 cars rolling out now.

Too cool. Looking for the Hesketh.

Arnoux bangs a vintage Ferrari into the armco, removing a wheel.

The UOP Shadows always look badass in black. F1, F5000, Can Am, doesn't matter.

Just badass.

I didn't think the track was setup this far in advance.

Really diving in this year boys. Planning to head to Austin for my birthday.

Gotta say, Max has grown on me so much. He’s a perfect racer and personality.

Really understanding how unlikable Hamilton is now, the similarities with LeBron are kind of crazy.

Is it the BLM stuff you are referring to?

Nah, not even that.

At 36, Just still seeming super petulant and childish as a 7 time champion. His constant entitlement, bending rules and the shite with Albon was Busch League. Crashing a dude off a podium not once but twice is lame.

Plus he’s just boring and has a nose piercing.

Ge was younger when the Rosberg shite went down but still seems like the same guy when others have grown up some.

Not denying his talent and achievements, just don’t root for him.

Right or wrong that year, I’ll always respect rosberg for hanging it up after winning it all.

Way too many guys that hang around washed up and act like middle aged children and take opportunities from younger guys who are hungrier and potentially more exciting. I get that is the sport but it’s kind of bizarre how accepted that behavior is. “Oh he’s just a racer”, actually he’s 38 and slow.

As others have mentioned, Vettel and Alonso.

Have you seen The Silver War on youtube?

It might trigger some to watch it, but it is a great fan made restrospective of that battle.

No I will definitely watch. I was into the sport back in college working at a bike shop with a bunch of wannabe Euro stars in 06-10 but got bored during Vettels run. He was just blah to me.

What do you mean by triggering some?

After watching it I think it may come from a bit of a viewpoint of a HAM fan.

There feels like a bias, but HAM did have a pretty awful year so not sure how to present that without highlighting that bad reliability wasn't his fault.

Plus it had 2016 Baku which garnered him a lot of radio time bitching about the new rules.

If he ever does write his book there will be some great material in there. The espionage, him leaving Mclaren and the telemetry, Rosberg, etc.

The noise, the speed, the car, the suspension, the track, the driving, the hand position, the shifting (and mis-shifting)

I saw that sprint qualifying will be in place at 3 races this season. Can someone explain this to me like I’m 12?

How many laps in general is 100km?

The tire breakdown confuses me as well? Two sets of tires for the actual race?

100 km would generally be about 20 laps or so.

Incredibly confused as well. Even more so if rain comes into play.

Really need your head on straight to keep up.

I mean, I can certainly see not being a Hamilton fan, but the anti-Hamilton shite is pretty lame too.

Cuckolds will be cuckolds, I suppose.
