Formula 1 United States Grand Prix 2014 at Circuit of the Americas (4/19/2015)

It is all five, jadeseal7, though I would strongly suggest you adjust the timing slightly, lest anyone mistakenly assumes the race is scheduled for the morning hours:

It should be hitting at least 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
We'll just have to wait and see if the heat actually matters as much as everyone claims.
Will the high temps tank the Mercedes-Benz performance enough to strip away their technical edge?

Anyway, 🎉.

We'll just have to wait and see if temperature actually makes a difference—and exactly how much!
I wonder if the heat might actually tank Mercedes-Benz's performance enough to cost them their technical edge? Maybe.

Anyway, 🎉.

Maybe if they ran it during the day, I guess. 🙂

If that holds true (and it does), the temperature in Bahrain will probably land somewhere right in the middle of Malaysia and China. Though, honestly, it’ll likely lean a degree or two higher than that midpoint.
Malaysia was sitting at 33 with the track hitting about 60, while China stayed around the 20s.
By the time the lights go out in Bahrain (6:00 PM), we’re looking at something closer to 30 than 25.
I'm fine with that.
Provided there isn't a massive humidity spike, of course.

I was running on zero sleep last night, so my brain was definitely a little foggy while I was typing up 😁

Spot on, Sinno 👍

darkmarlin16 said:Spot on, jadeseal7! 👍That's a great point.

👍 Thanks for the guidance, mentor! 😁

jadeseal7 said:👍 thanks for the masterclass, professor 😁

So what I'm thinking is, how about we split the workload for future races—I'll take one, you take the next?

Or maybe just go two by two.

darkmarlin16 said:Should we take turns picking the races—you take one, I take the next?

Or maybe a two-for-two split?

Personally, I’d only step in when you're unavailable. Honestly, I just stepped in this time because you were clearly starting to lose your cool! 😁

Kimi holds the record for the most podium finishes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway: 6

If Vettel doesn't secure a victory driving for Ferrari at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, then Bernie might as well just pull the plug on Formula 1 entirely. 🍿

I am certainly not so delusional or intoxicated as to sit there and watch some low-rent singer with two gold chains take the checkered flag. 🤦

Hamilton is going to tear them apart like a cheap rag.

There is simply no way this ends quietly. Nico is going to settle the score with Lewis once and for all. We are finally about to witness the aggressive side of Nico—that uncompromising drive where he will do absolutely anything necessary to ensure Lewis doesn't take the win. If he has to puncture a tire with his own front wing just to stop him, he’ll do it. 🍿

One can only assume there is a certain subset of people out there genuinely rooting for a Vettel and Ferkan victory—as if seeing the Ferrari boss sprint across the entire United States would somehow satisfy them?

mellowtiger83 said:Hamilton is going to absolutely demolish them, just like a bad smell on an old sock.

I suspect you might be unaware of what Uncle Suk once remarked regarding Hamilton: "He's perfectly fine with it, really; he just thinks the way he looks with that sock is rather unflattering."

Brian Campbell36 said:Not a chance. Nico is going to handle Lewis. We’re finally about to see an aggressive Nico who will do whatever it takes to stop Lewis from winning—he'd probably puncture his tire with his own front wing if he had to. 🍿

Regardless, one can only hope for a Vettel and Ferkan victory, just to watch the Ferrari boss have to flee across the entire country. 👏

Same story as last year. I have to admit, they handled it quite well last time.🤣

graniteharbor502 said:you clearly haven't heard what Uncle Suk said about Hamilton: "He's just totally over how he looks with that sock on, says it's an eyesore"

Brilliant writing. A pleasure to read. Suk is a legend.

There's a certain dislike for Vettel and Hamilton here, a preference for Alonso, and an inability to wrap one's head around Kimi. It's a solid piece—unpretentious, really, and it reveals quite a bit about this whole circus.

Nicole is only sticking around until she finds someone else, and then she's gone. That part is epic. Now we understand the root of Hamilton's eccentricity; obviously, he lacks the proper equipment when Nicole is around.🤣

mellowtiger83 said:Nicole is just hanging around until she finds some guy to cheat with, then she’s gone. Honestly, that part is legendary. Now we finally get why Hamilton is losing his mind—clearly, he hasn't had any real action since Nicole's been around for years.🤣

Did I not say Rosberg needs to put everything he's got into walking Nikolica around the paddock and filming a porn movie with her? 😁
So, first thing she needs is some plastic surgery...🤣

Alright, I fixed it! How does it look now?
