Oso planning to go pro
The track layout is pretty cool. Thats a LOOOOONNNGG straightaway. The visuals are gonna be awesome No offense, but that layout stinks. Half the race on the track and the rest zig zagging (but not all that much) through the infield? Pass. Thats ok for an Indy road race, but not F1.
I am living in Las Vegas right now, and I am not going anywhere near the strip this weekend.The whole F1 thing has been a cluster. Hotels and restaurants jacked up their prices to ridiculous amounts (e.g., $2500 minimum to eat at a restaurant with a view of the race). Traffic is so effed up that it is taking workers on the strip 3 hours to get to work when it normally takes 20 minutes. They cut down huge trees to put up grandstands. Tipped employees are going to be working their asses off for less money because most of the fans are going to be non-Americans who don't understand (or care about) the tipping culture in the U.S. And Las Vegas is locked into this race for ten years, even if it ends up not being the huge financial boom they promised.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Hamilton to Ferrari, did not see that coming.
Yeah, wow pretty surprised. He and Toto always seemed to have a pretty good thing going. I'm assuming this must be primarily about Hamilton's lack of confidence in Mercedes to adapt to the new 2026 regulations. They have seemed a little slower on the draw than Ferrari this past round trying to catch up to Red Bull.
