  1. This may be old news, but man, downtown over near city hall is a fucking mess. Saw a fresh shit pile and it smelled of extreme piss in front of that parking garage over by Cedar Door.

    I hadn't been down there since covid and this homeless debacle started. We just popped up from a run on the trail to see if Osteria Pronto, Fareground or Gus's was open. This isn't a good look for Austin.

    Yeah, of course it'll never happen, but  I've always kinda wished they'd hold a race here in mid-late August, just so I could see how they handle or don't handle all the problems that would come with that kind of heat.

    My guess: Not very well.

    I always have to laugh when the talk about the 'scorching' 80-85 temps at Austria or the 'incredible' Singapore heat

    There isn't enough SPF in Austin for me to sit out at COTA for an August race weekend. haha

  3. Some random thoughts, what a crazy race. Like someone said, it was either crazy shit going down or boring with Mercedes leaving everyone.

    Sucks but Albon is toast I think. It took a race with only what, 13 finishers to get that podium? I guess it helps when Lewis doesn't push you off the track when you are on your way to a podium. Also sucks to be Max's teammate unless you are a #1 at any other team.

    I love this season in that we are getting races on circuits that normally wouldn't get a race. Mugello, Turkey, Algarve, etc. Even that "oval" in Bahrain will be different.

    Also, if you haven't seen it already, Mick drove the F2004 before the race while wearing his dad's helmet. 

    Sorry for rambling. lol

  4. The camera was on Ferrari while Vettel was being passed by someone again, then it cut to Carlos as he was shaking his head. Having second thoughts about that Ferrari drive next year.

    All drivers want to drive for Ferrari they say, but I don't get it. They chew up and spit out drivers. Even did it to Schumacher at the end of his time there. Good luck next year, Carlos, you are gonna need it. Maybe Ferrari finds another engine "loop hole" and gains the power they lost.

    On the bright side, I guess the company car perks are nice.
