IT'S race Week !!! United States Grand Prix Indianapolis Motor Speedway 03.20.2022

What kind of graphics are these?!

Are we all blind and a hundred years old, unable to see anything?!

🤦

God, there are gonna be reliability issues left and right—at least during the start of the season. 🍿

so basically the issue isn't fixed—he just went all out and totally slammed it with everything he had.

The Mecca is falling apart 🙂

George lost a piece too. 🤣

It looks like Red Bull finally nailed the chassis stability. Max's run was incredibly smooth. This place is shaking like crazy though, it's wild.

Ferrari is looking solid too. They aren't bouncing around nearly as much as they were during testing.

It feels like every single year, they go even harder with those camera zooms on the sponsor decals during the broadcasts.

I think the RB is shaking a little bit, but honestly, just a tiny bit... I just caught a glimpse of one of Perez's laps and he felt a slight wobble there.

But it’s still not quite the Mecca.

I just caught Lewis's onboard footage, and it looked exactly like this.

It looks like for once in his life, Lou isn't just smirking for no reason.

Max isn't even breaking a sweat, he's just dancing around out there.

Nancy Perez75 said:Come on, people. Do you honestly think Russell has Hamilton's skillset or his mindset? This hyped-up British person... he's half the driver Max and Lewis are. I wouldn't even dare say he's better than Leclerc... honestly, he isn't even a better driver than Bottas... he's basically the third-best Briton out there.

He'll stay at the top only because he's driving a Mercedes-Benz, but I feel like after a hundred years, Mercedes-Benz might actually blow their constructors' title because of George...

I'm just really skeptical about Russell...

I don't know, seeing how he completely outclassed Bottas during that one race when he actually had the chance, speaks volumes to me.
It doesn't matter that everything went sideways at the end with the tire issues, it was pretty obvious what happened...
There's no doubt he has the talent, but whether he can actually pull off a WDC one day remains to be seen...

Honestly, this doesn't mean much. They're still just finding their footing and messing around with setups.
I'm betting tomorrow will be a totally different story—expect Red Bull and Mercedes to be neck and neck again.

Honestly, I think any real talk about how this season is gonna go can wait until after qualifying tomorrow—they’re definitely keeping their cards close to their chests—but seeing parts of cars flying everywhere is pretty much a massive red flag for future headaches.

And regardless of what happens tomorrow, it's already obvious that Alfa Romeo is going to be struggling constantly.

Can't wait for FP2. 😂

Look, I know Practice 1 is way too early to be making any big calls... so all I'm gonna say is that RB could've definitely designed a much better looking No. 1 for Max

Look, you have to consider Bottas' motivation. The guy's been driving through pure grit for the last two seasons just waiting for them to tell him "thanks, but no thanks"... and honestly, he did a hell of a job as No. 2...

Yeah, George Russell knows how to drive—he shows flashes of brilliance—but man, sometimes he just completely screws up and makes mistakes straight out of Nicholas Latifi's playbook...

Maybe I'm being biased because I'm a McLaren fan, but Lando Norris feels much more like championship material than George Russell does...

The new cars look absolutely killer. I’m just crossing my fingers that this season turns out to be even more competitive and unpredictable—that’s really the only thing keeping us fans hooked, isn't it? Last year was easily the best one we've seen in the last 15 years.

So, Logan Sargeant just went past, and he’s absolutely shaking in his seat. Max Verstappen is right on his tail, though—not a single move made.

Yeah, sure, and I guess Hamilton's head was bouncing around like crazy during Practice 1 too.
I really hope he’s got a decent dentist on speed dial, because he's gonna need some serious dental work after that...
