    And Ferrari gets my hopes up in FP2 once again.  What will they fuck up this weekend?

    1) Tire choices

    2) A pip stop (almost a given)

    3) Strategy (a given)

    All of them at once I suppose Meme Generator - Imgflip

    Meanwhile Bobby is doing his best Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer impression, trying to paint the USGP at COTA as the meat & potatoes, blue-collar F1 race in the States. He says we call it "The People's Race".

    https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/austins-us-gp-not-changing-recipe-amid-f1s-miami-and-vegas-hype/10508756/

    At the People's Race, it seems like the People wouldn't have to fork over $900 for a 3-day GA ticket and a Parking Pass. COTA is not as expensive as Vegas is this year, but COTA's F1 prices have tripled just since 2021, and it's still  in the top 5 most expensive races on the calendar. Maybe he means 'the race the People pay for', or 'the race that wouldn't exist without the People'.  Maybe he's talking about the People who have supported the track since before it was ever built, and are now priced out of attending races there.

    Got damn I suck at typing.

    I complain about it often, but no shade and such a beat down to get in and out of for an F1 weekend too.

    Always gonna be Canada if I do F1 on this continent anymore.

  3. I see this sticker on pick up trucks pretty often in the Houston area. It's usually a clapped out blue collar truck, but occasionally it's a nice F250. I have to admit, it does trigger me a bit #snowflake. I feel the same way with them for voting for Trump but I am not a fucking moron enough to put a sticker on my vehicle.

    road behavior is MadMax crazy around here

    This is where I notice it the most. Just unhinged crazy driving with a heaping dose of distracted, head down on their cell phone driving. People don't care anymore, they just live in their tiktok bubble.

  5. CTJ and zman covered Fajardo. We stayed at the Conquistador resort there last summer, which was real nice. But didn’t really pop out into Fajardo much.

    In Vieques currently and the beaches are great as usual, playa punta arenas and playa caracas in particular. Sadly, Saharan dust in the air is making it look overcast. You can barely see Culebra or the main island.

    Just saw this bumped and realized I forgot to update it with a post-trip report

    Nice report.

  6. I am a Danny Ric fan, spent the $50 or whatever it was for his McLaren hat so I am biased. But having his personality around the grid, even if he gets beat by Yuki, is a massive net positive over de Vries.

  7. I am headed to Vieques for the third time next week. Rent a car (Kia or Bronco Sport) from Maritza's. There are plenty of airbnb to choose from in all price ranges. Playa Punta Arenas is my fav beach followed by Playa Caracas.

    I do love visiting this island, it's a little rough around the edges (no hospital after Maria, and some crime) but very laid back. Fly Vieques Air Link from San Juan over taking the ferry from Ceiba if you can.

  8. While Max is off winning the constuctors title for Red Bull all by himself, I am enjoying the midfield battles and seeing Fernando shine in the Aston. Damn I'd kill to see Fernando or Lewis in that second Red Bull though, someone to actually push Max.

    Even during the Merc dominance Rosberg could obviously challenge Lewis and some weekends Valtteri was untouchable. Sergio has his days, but dude is in a slump for sure.
