  1. I don't think I'd want to be a full time commentator if I was an F1 WDC. Here and there, sure.

    I guess Damon Hill is in the mix sometimes down in the paddock. Not sure if he's there every weekend.

    A Verstappen grandstand in Spain? Am I missing something?

    Cashing in on the Dutch fans who travel well, while at the same time keeping them all in one grandstand so the rest of the fans don't have to be around them. lol

  3. I have an EV for daily commuting that I love. That is what they excel at, being city cars. This long distance shit ain't in their wheelhouse. But yeah, another thread.

    Y'all are some knowledgeable sumbitches though.

  4. I was in the main grandstand (along with like 5 other people) when the Ferrari Corse Clienti was in town 5 years ago or so. You thought the V8's were loud... The V10's were face meltingly awesome.

  5. I went down this wikipedia rabbit hole a long time ago. But I thought it was kinda cool that the island CGV is built on and the entire Montreal metro system were built for the 1967 worlds fair. Seems the geodesic dome and the casino are the only big structures left from that event. Most having been demolished to make way for some of the 1975 Olympic venues, including that rowing basin.

    Also, any F1 tracks (e.g. COTA) that have a karting circuit next to it that isn't the exact same layout as the real track is totally missing the ball. 

    Also, there should be a 20 lap kart race on said circuit by the drivers and make the winner get a championship point or something. Would be awesome to see them duke it out in a little kart race like that on identical karts.

  7. Went back and looked at my statements for my Montreal trip this year for my gf and I. Right around $6k for the two of us. We didn't go too hard on meals, one nice-ish dinner at Vargas, the rest not super fancy. The flights were pretty obscene, I must've booked those a tad late. Hotel was a couple of blocks from the Place De Arms Metro station, so all the getting around was by the metro. Love that damn city though, the third time I have been there.

    • $1800 - Hotel AC Marriott Downtown four nights
    • $2300! - Air Canada Flights
    • $890 - F1 tickets in the Lance Stroll grandstand
    • $1000 or so for meals, drinking, random spending

     Is the car just not suited to his style?

    It's this. Someone on here posted a vid a while back. Danny is an absolute late braker, then turning in. The car is more suited to trailbraking into the corner and Lando is better at that I guess.
