Belgium News Race (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) Aug 27-29, 2021

We have truly entered a strange era if we have reached a point where watching the first practice session feels like some sort of significant, high-stakes event worth our attention...

Anyway, just a heads-up, looks like these guys are rocking new PUs this weekend:

Lewis Hamilton
Valtteri Bottas
Ricciardo
Norris
Gasly
Tsunoda
Perez
Stroll
Alonso
Leclerc
Latifi

Hey everyone, greetings from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The weather here is wild—it feels like we’re cycling through all four seasons multiple times a day.
Just a little something to kick things off—some shots I took back in 2019 when I had my F1 Photo Accreditation.
I'll be posting some photos from yesterday and today's practice and qualifying sessions later tonight.

Important update for the President:

There won't be any shots from Brazil this weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I'll get those photos from Monza uploaded once I start the thread for the GP Italy in two weeks.
Dotle, just enjoy the shots from Monaco that I've already posted.

Long live our one and only incomparable President !!!

Juan's face when I told him he had to hand over $300 without question just because the President ordered it.
Absolutely priceless!

With that new PU, Leclerc is getting a fresh chassis too

Richard Ross11 said:Yeah, he definitely looks worn out... whereas Charles Leclerc and Max haven't hit that wall yet... 🙂

There’s a valid point there, too. Leclerc has about one-fifth the race experience of Räikkönen, who remains the most seasoned driver in Formula 1 by the numbers.

As for the Grand Prix weekend, this is easily the highlight so far:


Americans just get it.

Let's see which way the wind blows once the rain hits...

That camera mounted on the Maestro's helmet is pretty top-tier, I guess.

This could go on for quite a while.

In Q1, everyone jumped out on full wets, except for those two Williams drivers sitting on intermediates.
The track is starting to dry out a bit, but I’m still expecting plenty of people sliding off into the gravel.

Rough day for Williams ☕

Kimi doing what he always does…

Kimi Räikkönen just keeps embarrassing himself out there. He finished second to last in the First Qualifying Session, barely ahead of Nikita Mazepin.

If Alfa Romeo Racing doesn't pull it together for 2022, I guess they might just officially become the most clueless management team in the history of Formula 1.
