Go ahead, repeat that classic line of yours. It won't change a thing.

Link isn't working? Hmm, it seems fine on my end...

Actually, I wasn't even talking about that specific video when I mentioned the best overtake—I was actually referring to the one > posted...

It works perfectly fine on my end, 🤷

I believe I have already shared my top choice elsewhere, but perhaps it wouldn't hurt to provide the link once more, just in case:

But I wonder, does anyone else happen to recall this moment:

A true master is a master, regardless of what car he's sitting in.
Whether he's driving a junker or a masterpiece, he doesn't stop fighting until he sees that checkered flag.

In the most beautiful car to ever hit the track. 🙏

graniteharbor502 said:Safe travels! Give us a wave if you catch a glimpse of yourself on camera 😁

Thanks, will do—I'll be waving a Ferrari flag, so there's no way you won't spot me!!! 🤣

Are you guys bringing raincoats? Forecast is calling for rain this weekend. I've already set my setup for straw hat/nails. Let it pour...

Geronimooooo!!!

swifttiger75 said:Alright, we've pretty much settled things for Indianapolis—final agreement drops tonight. There will likely be one spot left open, but I'll post the specifics later this evening. If there are any more "Livestock" enthusiasts from Miami interested... ☕

There isn't much of a schedule for this season, but we are already planning for Austria and Indianapolis/Spa next year, depending on whether Kimi ends up at Ferrari. Safe travels (to everyone heading out, naturally).

The crowd is going wild for the Maestro!
The Maestro gives them a wave.
The vibe at Indianapolis was just pure magic. Seriously, such an incredible atmosphere. 😍

absolutely legendary 👋

Felipe Massa and Ferrari are just complete idiots

Man, walk us through it for those of us who missed the action.

So, what's the deal—why is Massa lagging so far behind Alonso? 😕

Not sure if they were testing something specific or just running into issues.
Basically, Massa's falling behind because I don't think he managed even three clean laps in a row—they were constantly tinkering with the setup and dealing with chemistry issues.

And honestly, the idiots are to blame for sending Felipe Massa out at the end of the session—he went past red and nearly clipped Fernando Alonso, who was coming back onto the track right in front of him (luckily, his exit window hadn't closed yet, but he had to wait because his blue lights came on).

They were testing different wing configurations on the cars...

It’ll be really interesting to see if the FIA actually stays consistent with the rules.🤣

1. Fernando Alonso was practicing starts behind the line and past that concrete wall which is strictly forbidden and something drivers were told was totally off-limits during the briefing.

2. Felipe Massa crossed the track line on a red light, which is obviously a no-go.

Honestly, I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the stewards at Indianapolis right now.🤣
Handing out penalties to both Ferrari drivers after the First Practice Session for such literal, incredibly stupid team blunders—especially in front of thousands of fans—is just way too much.🤣

Who even are these race officials anyway? 🤷

Does anyone have a link where I can actually go and watch this?

Oh, for sure.🤣
Felipe Massa nearly took a shot at Fernando Alonso... so I have zero doubt we'll be seeing plenty of that drama at Indianapolis.🤣

Sebastian Vettel has officially lost it😬
He jumps out of the car after the Second Practice Session and goes:
"We still need to work on our pace." 🤣>

What’s his plan? To just toss everything out the window by next lap? 😬>

If he actually pulls that off, I bet they'll try to ban him at Red Bull. 🙂>
By the end of this, he'll probably be driving on nothing but rims, two tires, or strictly full wets...🙂>

Anyway, this is insane 🙏🤣

Kimi Räikkönen - 1:25.116
Romain Grosjean - 1:25.116

One was on the long track, the other on the short version of the Lotus😁
Now you tell me which setup was actually better 🤣

If I remember correctly, Fernando was under blue flags.

What on earth are you talking about with blue flags and start practice?😵

If you aren't allowed to pull up to a specific spot on the track to practice starts, then you aren't allowed to do it—I don't care if the marshal is waving a Ferrari flag and screaming "Viva Maestro!" at the top of his lungs.🤣

you're blind
