Vintage Ferrari overheating on the front straight.

Your friend was correct.

[Buzzrock 14877]

$2M in damage to Sainz’ car

Your friend was correct.

That’s shitty

[Buzzrock 14877]

The shitshow continues, a parade car leaks oil all over the grid

[PittsburghTiger 6137]

And another parade car dropped oil on the track, ugh.

i’m out. Will watch in the morning.

[TexEx15 17493]

Lol oil slick from old car breaking down right in front of inside starting line. What a shitshow this GP has been.

[UTexasFight 9386]

This is the worst pregame show I’ve ever seen.

…and I’ve  seen some awful Super Bowl pregames 

[Aqua Buddha 14526]

Why the fuck is this thing starting at 1 am EST?

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

Fuck they’re turning the lights out? This went from a 10 to like a 4

[Levi 2576]

Everything leading up to this race has felt manufactured or just simply not executed well and it’s missing that “race feel.” The drivers seem like they want this to be over with already.

It’s like they didn’t learn a single thing from Miami last year

Martin brundle interview session is a train wreck LOLOL

Martin brundle interview session is a train wreck LOLOL

First time I’ve watched one. Are they always this bad?

[deft 6800]

It'll never happen but I'd love to see F1 at any of Watkins Glen, Barber Motorsports Park, Road Atlanta, Road America, Laguna Seca, or Mid Ohio.
The US has some old school interesting road tracks. They just wouldn't meet modern F1 safety standards.

Is Las Vegas able to meet Modern f1 standards?

[millhouse 2587]

I'm here for the shitshow

[wood 11186]

Danica & Nat ... How you doin'? :joey:

Tavo sighting on the grid.

Yep. Just send it to your google calendar, and off you go. Full season of local sesion start times.

LOL they had the actor that played Leonardo on Kill Tony recently. What a brilliant trainwreck that show is.

I wonder how much more power the cold air is making for the cars.

61F? Some, yeah. But man they've overplayed the 'cold' all the last two weeks just as much as they overplay the 'scorching heat'.

Fuck seeing this stupid Jared Lehto reading of Viva Las Vegas a second time. Horribad.

[elfenix 34189]

Yeah and some of the best circuits in the world, too, but I doubt any of 'em have much interest in neutering their circuits for F1.

[deft 6800]

Checo in pits??

Max did look sus on start. And I’m a max fan.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

wtf is going on lmao

[GhostOfTomJoad 9308]

Lando's wrecked?

[millhouse 2587]

Short night for lando

[elfenix 34189]

That's a second tire carcass flying off in 2 races

[elfenix 34189]

Big piece of carbon almost killed lewis

[Texzilla58 4717]

It looks like they are driving on glass

[elfenix 34189]

Did pirelli bring the inters this weekend? Might want to toss those on to get warm tires

[Fudbelty 2786]

Max broke the rules? Here’s a tickle on you bum, Max. Sorry for bothering you, Sir.

[pops 6974]

Big 12 refs now are the stewards. Sweet. 

[elfenix 34189]

Max passed for position on track is that even allowed

[elfenix 34189]

Checo!

[elfenix 34189]

Charles back in the lead!

[elfenix 34189]

Great race. 5 passes for the lead on track. If Sainz hadn't taken the grid drop it might have been the best in years.

Yep. Awesome race. Action from start to finish and all the way up and down the field. Pretty cool. Everything before FP2 sucked, and tbh imho, I've thought everything since the premature end of FP1  was pretty great.

[wood 11186]

I've seen people on s/m saying what a bad race it was. To me, that begs the question: If that wasn't a good race, then what do you think a good race looks like?

[RPM 26236]

There was nothing wrong with the racing. Conditions could have been better, but they delt with them. I've seen far worse. Now the BS the city went through to accommodate F1 may not have been worth the squeeze, but the major construction is over, hopefully they learned a lot and it will be smother going foreword.

[kevwun 15672]

That was a good race.  I think I will go to one in the future.

One of the worst grid walks I've watched. The US celebs have no idea who Martin or Sky Sports are. He needs someone carrying a sign saying "talk to this man you idiot."

[texas08 1599]

Didn’t have to be this hard, but oh well. Runner up world champ!

¡VAMOS CHECO!

[Guest]

What a great race. What a tacky event.

[kevwun 15672]

Also, Max is still faster than everyone while missing a vertical fin on his front wing.

[texas08 1599]

Let’s goooooo

[texas08 1599]

This. How.

[Buzzrock 14877]

I enjoyed the race but one thing was notable: where were the fans? You couldn’t see or hear them at all.

I think in proportion to the track size, there are very few grandstands. Add to that the fact that it was night with a lit track, and they just seem to disappear.
