AMEX presale for F1 USGP just began. Got Turn 9, was under $680. Love Turn 15 but don't feel like paying close to $900 for this race weekend with no proper support series

I know it's just testing but damn Max/Red Bull.

Hoping there'll be some good drama for 2nd this year between Lando, Checo, Alonso, and Leclerc.

Yep. Seems like more of the same at the very top.

Yeah sure looks like a repeat of last season incoming. I'm just hoping Ferrari can steal a couple wins maybe and score consistent podiums.

And poor Haas

Meh, those clowns deserve it at this point. Insane to help block Andretti while Haas admits putting low effort into their campaign every year.

I know it's just preseason testing, but Logan is looking much improved from last season

Thinking about getting tickets when general sales open up, but not likely for entire weekend. What do you recommend?

IMO Friday can be skipped, Saturday you get both a quali and a sprint race, and the big music headliner that night. Sunday is just Grand Prix. Support is probably Porsche Carrera Cup. I liked Saturday more than Sunday last year just because it feels like a longer day whereas on Sunday you are done by 3:40 pm (and spend more for less action)

A little human interest bit. Charles LeClerc plays piano as a side hobby and recently released a series of videos where he went in studio with a well-known new age piano player from France.

The music is kind of sappy new age piano music, but it definitely shows a different side of Charles you might not expect. My guess is that it will probably show up in personal interviews with him early on in the season.

He's released a few songs on Spotify over the last year

So is ESPN co-oping the F1TV feed and broadcasters today?

I ordered the vinyl when it dropped, was kinda shocked he is putting out a release on that format lol. I remember he said he doesn't know how to sing but would like to learn in the future, but for now just piano music

Ferrari +0.3s
--------------
McLaren +0.1s
--------------
Aston Martin +0.1s
--------------
VCARB +0.1s
--------------
Mercedes +0.05s
--------------
Williams +0.05s
--------------
Alpine +0.1s
--------------
Sauber +0.2s
--------------
Haas +0.1s

(Averaged long run pace)

Agree it looks like things picked up right where they left off last year.

Haas needs to sell to Andretti GM.

Binge-ing DTS tonight. The wife is bought in and now supports the habit.

ETA- why do they have Danica Patrick as a reoccurring commentator this season? Not a fan.

Currently on episode 7. I guess Danica brings an American driver perspective ? Too much Will Buxton.

Lol. Lots of TikTok and Twitter posts complaining about Danica. Mainly by women who post F1 content.

I don't have an issue with Danica. However one thing that I enjoy about Formula One is the prevalence of non-American personalities in the coverage of the sport and the racers themselves.

I get enough American personalities in American sports. I kinda like having a group of announcers saying weird British things and sounding like Monty Python.

Maybe that's just me.

I can only assume they brought her in thinking she would appeal to women and pave the way for women drivers in F1. I've always found her and the hype around her annoying. Having her offer commentary on the inter team dynamics of F-1 teams that she has no particular insight into just comes across as phony. Same for Claire Williams.
