Alonso changing for mediums as it started raining and Max' reaction to that was priceless...
Anyone else watching Bottas as the weather changed? Tip: if that fella changes to intermediates, no matter whàt the weather forecast is, know it WILL rain... He was the first one to pit and I immediately knew it was gonna be pretty bad... Lo and behold...

Martin Brundle's grid walks are legendary! Was an 'easy' one today - no crazy 'celebs' - but still fun
-
Shit quali.
Russell is still a tosser. Surprised no penalty for the pit lane shenanigans.
Only hope is Max “turns in to” George at lap 1 turn 1
-
Man I hate George Russell. Two weeks in a row with that bitch move blocking the pit lane. So unsporting. They’re going to need to address this in the rules.
So excited by Ferrari sandbagging all along and then posting those laps when they needed them. Please please don’t cock it up! I would love a double podium for them and a win for either of their drivers but especially poor Leclerc.
Happy for Danny as well. With AT using the same car as RBR next season he will be dangerous if he’s got his mojo back.
Gutted for Lando.
I think today is going to be spicy!
-
ferrari has got quali pace but not race pace. if only the race was only 1 lap..
-
Yeah that’s it. Poor Charles
-
I was bummed to see Checo take himself out with that over-excited goof up in the first corner. Seeing Ricciardo put on a good race made up for it though. And Lando absolutely killed it.

This dude out here making Lewis go “too far, bro. Too far” in his airport traffic director outfit in size: Frost Giant.
Insufferable opening ceremony. Hope the race doesn’t suck but not betting on that.

I think they have bigger issues to worry about. Like working out whether this is sport or entertainment.....
Problems with manhole covers at the Las Vegas Grand Prix track are "just unacceptable", Ferrari team boss Frederic Vasseur says.
First practice was cancelled after just nine minutes when Carlos Sainz hit a manhole cover that had come loose.
Esteban Ocon's Alpine was damaged in the same way before the session was cut short.
Vasseur said Sainz's car had a damaged chassis, engine and battery and would miss the second session if it happened.
Having said that, I will be forever grateful to Liberty Media for giving me back my weekends.....
-
Sounded like the Vegas track was an ice rink for practice too. Cold, rainy, fresh oily pavement. Now they have obstacles like manholes. This weekend will be like MarioKart. Hopefully it dries up and everyone stays safe so we can forget about that cringe-fest of a opening ceremony.

@mclaincausey WHAT?! now I gotta look this up. that sounds bogus.
-
HAHA, it does seem like they do it for the hype a lotta times. Thats unbelievable they gave him a 10-spot for repairs when a track defect jumped up and bit him.

I’m wondering when the mods will change this thread title to “Motor Circus” to keep the forum a credible place.
The journey is the objective.
-
I think Toto cunted his “friend” Vasseur on that penalty. Unfair exploitation of force majeure and completely unsporting.
-
In theory I like WEC more than F1, I just haven't figured out how to watch it. I also love WRC.
Anyway--this fucking car is my favorite thing right now in going fast on 4 wheels (can't say "racing" because it's not a regulation race car). I just love the way she sounds and obviously her performance is just insane. Porsche's erstwhile absence in F1 is a gaping void--my favorite race car manufacturer by a long shot and probably the most storied. Shout out the the driving on this lap too.... especially considering the G forces, a monumental achievement.
