Zak Brown is a fucking gigantic cunt.

No doubt, at least when Horner acted that what he had a few constructors titles behind him at a team that was built from the ground up.  

Curious what Ron Dennis thinks of Zac.

I just doubt understand how Oscar's move can just be dismissed as a "racing incident". He turned in hard enough to clearly see the tires physically angled, which is pretty damn rare at speed. And he did that at the widest Turn 1 of the season.  If Hulkenberg wasn't there, he would have clipped Alonso. There's no way he checked his mirrors.

The Oscar on board was interesting. Oscar was ahead going into the corner, braked first and Lando dove right past him from his inside to his outside right across his nose.
 

Norris has plenty of room to run wider but takes a narrow line doing his teammate no favors.
 

Oscar seemed to lose his cool and tried the switcheroo not giving a shit about the other cars.

It's very wide on entry. About 120 feet. But it's only about half that wide on exit. Before the track was built, Tavo told me he designed it that way intentionally, as an 'error generator'. He wanted the wide entry to entice people to try different things - potentially unwise moves - and boy has it worked. T1 is truly a masterpiece full of challenges for the drivers. Shorter braking zone because it's uphill. Big bumps (not part of the 'art', of course) unsettle the car just as you begin to brake. Gets significantly less steep just after you begin braking, making the car suddenly lighter in the middle of braking (see Stroll's lockup ... usually they work that out in FP, but there was only one this weekend). Blind apex, so you have to turn in before you can see it. Gets much narrower on exit and falls away to the right. It's a handful.

only place Piastri could go would be off track and passed probably by a few cars. Instead he chose violence not letting the Lando dive bomb across his nose go unchecked lol

Lando drove right in Max's wheel tracks. Oscar could do that cutback on lap 3 or 4 but not lap 1. He should have planned to keep his speed up and stay wide. Doubt he would have gotten passed doing so.

So, 6-9 degrees cooler today, wind now out of the north 20+ MPH. Should be interesting to see how this pretty significant change affects the cars and the drivers today. The wind shift should help along the east side of the track (2-11). Might cause some mistakes from 12-19. Could creat some unplanned action.

I won't be at the race today, but my kid is at COTA on a personal driving gig for a friend of ours in the Paddock. He dropped them off this morning and has to wait around in the Paddock parking lot near the Paddock entrance. He's having a blast meeting and getting selfies with several drivers and other F1 personalities. So far, Fernando, Kimi, Bortoleto, Hulk, and more. I can't keep up. He keeps calling me, all excited. Good times.

Fun racing between Charles and Lando

I want Lando to get a track limits penalty so bad.

He isn't a bad driver but he absolutely isn't close to the same tier as Max, Charles and Hamilton, etc

Max is a wizard.

Final lap, leads Norris by just over 7 seconds.

Max cospays a wizard with a Grey wig blue cloak and an intricate staff he carved over 3 years and special d20 he bought at comicon.
