  1. Why is that Holding flag picked up in the Chiefs game? That was a massive hold.
  2. Yep, loki is the guy. Fernando, re: Ocon: Fernando gives his thoughts: "Whenever there is an Alpine you have to be extra careful. We touched each other entering turn 6... they must think that our car is narrower than it really is, and again I ended up on the grass," said the Aston Martin driver. Ocon, when Alonso was his teammate at Alpine, always tried to finish ahead of him anyway. Now, although the Spaniard wears the colors of Aston Martin, it seems that he continues to seek to defeat him by all means whenever he meets him on the track. Thus, Fernando thinks that Esteban is still very immature and that he has not changed his way of seeing things. "Yes, I heard what that boy said...", the two-time champion commented with a laugh. "He is still very immature and has not changed his way of seeing things, but well, there are other things that don't change either. He came out after me like last year and stayed there, like last year. So everything is still normal," Fernando Alonso has settled."
  3. If any of y'all want some insight into the myriad ways F1 has come up with to piss off the locals in Vegas, just go here: https://forums.autosport.com/topic/220914-lost-wages-gp-2023/ Everything you might want to know about it, from a local F1 fan who's also pissed by now ... and I mean everything.
  4. Oh yeah I remember seeing something about that and thinking I needed to watch it, but got sidetracked. Nice. Thanks!
  5. Oh, and Ocon wtf lol. He's making a fool of himself on Insta now, saying he had a great lap going (even though it was only T2) and didn't lose the car. Uh, ok Esteban. This is why nobody likes you, bruhhhh. Button, Alex Rossi, Paul Tracy all calling him out. Sure looked like he carried way too much speed and the car got sideways to me, but wtf do I know?
  6. Yeah they've never put on a race, and it shows. They're making a complete mess of it PR-wise locally. They're pretty much pissing off the locals every way possible. What COTA video are they talking about? Proper track, proper engines, cars that aren't SUV-size and weight, and No DRS, so proper racing and overtaking. Enjoy!
  7. Yeah that's the only drawback I've been thinking of, and yep, my preference is also just to not have sprints. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but iirc that was FOM's idea.
  8. Very cool of Crofty in FP1 to bring up the Sprint Weekend format I've been pushing for a while, pretty much word for word. I'm telling y'all, he's lurking on Autosport. I just can't figure out who he is. FP1, Sprint Qualifying Sprint, Qualifying (Parc Ferme begins) GP
  9. I have no idea what's happening.
  10. T12 GS also partially collapsed. It was evacuated. The one in the video was T4. Apparently no injuries.
  11. I see you Aston Martin. The Q3 weather didn't hurt, but they actually had legit pace all day. Alonso was P4 in Q2, so it's looking good. I read that they mixed upgrade parts between the two cars today, running a mix of the best parts that they found during "testing“ at the last 2 races.
  12. Wow. That's wild. But tbf, not much they could do about that, either at COTA or Brazil (except none of COTA's GSs are covered outside of the Main GS). At COTA they tell you to go to your car, which is typically at minimum a 15-20 minute walk from you. The only really safe place to be is inside the main gs, but they never tell people to go there. I remember that one time out at COTA when I was caught out between T19 & 20 and had to hide between two supply trucks for shelter from a similar storm. Only time in my life I actually feared for my safety due to the weather. My kid & I were talking about that earlier while watching Q2. The race track is the last place you want to be when that shit hits.
  13. Ha! I was waiting for that. Eh, you know, sure. Despite the miles, she still looks like a fast machine.
  14. So in the last 2 days ... - Toyota/McLaren taking over for Audi at Sauber - Perez retiring - Sainz leaving Ferrari - Alonso retiring - F1 not returning to Mexico City - Alonso / Checo swap - AM sold to Aramco - F1 sold to Saudis Did I miss anything?
  15. So apparently Max has now won ten races in which Charles qualified P1.
  16. It's a basic version just like the one below, but probably 10 years ago I picked up a Playseat from a guy on craigslist. Almost new and in perfect condition, but I guess he had nop idea how much it was worth. He was asking $50 and I'd have felt guilty trying to talk him down, so I said "Here, take my money!!!" Even now the same seat is almost $400 on amazon. Four hundred dollars :austinpowers: My 17 yo & 19 yo still wear the shit outta that thing, and my 19 yo is actually pretty quick & wins a lot online. They should prolly make a stupid movie about him. /csb
  17. Wow. How do people make this much money?
  18. Yeah I asst coached a team one summer that we named the Bears & gave 'em Chico's Bail Bonds shirts too. Good times...
  19. Yeah I think they realize Mercedes is coming and would love to have a guy scooping up maximum points like Alonso would ... but we'll see. Oh, and there's a helluva lot of room in between where their #2 is now and 'destabilizing Max'.
  20. Wild rumor I read just now ... that Toyota are considering buying the Sauber entry from Audi with help from McLaren and will supply McClaren with engines from 2026 onward. Kobayashi will manage the Toyota team with 2 Japanese drivers. Rumors that Audi wants out as some new brass are not interested
