If we went together as a Group, does anyone know someone who could secure tickets (we would, of course, pay our share) for a group this size so we could all sit together and enjoy the experience?
It would be a great chance to hash out some pros and cons face to face. 🙂
And naturally, we could grab drinks somewhere the night before...
If we can get a group of 10-12 people together, I would definitely be in, just for the sake of seeing everyone.
What do you all think of the idea?

Ricciardo attacks Vettel: "He should think more carefully"
Essentially saying he needs to be more mindful, among other things in the article...
😂
Rick basically implies— zero titles. 🙏
And he’s still breathing.

It goes without saying that Ricciardo is at fault for going off track.

And why on earth would you blame Valtteri Bottas when the stewards—who possess far more expertise than you ever will—already ruled it a racing incident? Bottas had absolutely nowhere to go except over the curb. Is that clear enough for you, or do I need to break it down even further? 😁

Sebastian Vettel has such a hot temper, which feels completely out of character when I think back to his days driving for Red Bull Racing...
The core issue here is that the FIA seems to be siding with Mercedes-Benz, given they currently possess the faster and more reliable car...
Sebastian Vettel is teetering on the edge of disqualification, and it looks like they’ll likely be facing a turbo penalty in the upcoming races as well. Kimi Räikkönen just isn't providing any support right now, so if Vettel actually wants a shot at the championship, he really needs to keep his cool and stay focused...
It looks like things are shaping up to be quite a positive weekend, and I honestly think Mercedes-Benz is the favorite to come out on top...
I am truly happy for Lance Stroll, even though he missed out by just a few feet at the very end. Esteban Ocon is an absolute sensation behind the wheel, and Daniel Ricciardo proved once again that he knows exactly how to squeeze every bit of potential out of any given situation...
If only we could see more races like this one...

rustyridge10 said:It appears that Sebastian Vettel did not intentionally collide with Lewis Hamilton... 🙏 I suspect a sudden gust of wind might just blow that car right into Lewis Hamilton's path...
I don't think I properly gave credit to Sauber and Wehrlein earlier, but honestly, it was great to see them sitting in the points, even if it only happened because the race turned into such a complete mess... 👍
What really stuck with me out of everything was that comment from Fernando Alonso... he basically said it was such a shame, because we really could have walked away with this win if Hamilton and Vettel hadn't completely shut him down...

Raymond Anderson4 said:Then they go and blame NASCAR.

The Hamilton incident is really just a perfect example of what gets permitted every single time a Safety Car heads toward the pits.

NASCAR keeps rambling on about maintaining a constant speed, but honestly, what constant speed? Just wait until the next race; if there’s another Safety Car, we’ll see whoever comes out first just slamming on the gas and then immediately hitting the brakes...

stormybadger8 said:so you've concluded it was intentional, but based on what exactly? 🤣

What makes you think Sebastian Vettel veered into Lewis Hamilton on purpose? Was he just steering aimlessly or something? 🙂

It was pretty clear that Sebastian Vettel lost his cool, pulled up alongside Lewis Hamilton, and started waving his arms around, which obviously led to him bumping into Lewis, but I don't see how that could have been done intentionally...

Because if you were certain he meant it, Lewis wouldn't have even continued the race...

Adam Edwards4 said:So, I’m not really a regular on the forums or anything, but since I just recently started getting into Formula 1, I figured I’d jump in here with a question. From what I've gathered so far, an undercut is when you pit early to try and leapfrog someone, while an overcut is more about letting the rival go first to gain an advantage later. Is that actually how it works? And specifically, why do teams pull these moves—is it always a direct response to the car ahead pitting, or is there more to the strategy than that? A little breakdown would be awesome if anyone has the time! 👍 Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but I wasn't exactly sure where else to look.

neonfox65 said:🤦

Why has viewership dropped by a third?

I believe any reasonable person simply wants to see more competitive teams on the track.

Details regarding Hamilton's upgrade... While there was all this talk about a revolutionary Red Bull upgrade, it actually seems like Hamilton was the one who truly delivered the performance gains rather than Red Bull... What is actually somewhat surprising, though, is how Ferrari managed to remain competitive in Los Angeles despite all these massive changes made to the Mercedes...

To me, it just suggests that Ferrari hit upon a decent setup right from the jump...
and sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut... 🙂
