Any good China races to re-watch other than 18?
2006 to see Schumi's last F1 win.
2007 to see Hamilton throw away the championship as a rookie.
I went to the 2010 race, but it wasn't that memorable. Jenson Button won.

Will watch those 2. Finished '18 today.
Doriane Pin just got announced by Iron Dames into FRECA.
She might have the busiest calendar I've ever seen in my life. Started in January with F4 UAE and IMSA 24 hr of Daytona, then WEC and F1 Academy the following month, and now FRECA added to the mix.
Hoping she does well, if she can get to F3 that will look good for F1 Academy. The addition of the Iron Dames running 2 cars with the help of Prema is big too, I'd assume they could take Maya Weug for next year.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 “Early Bird” buyers win big at COTA!Â
— Circuit of The Americas (@COTA) April 18, 2024
COTA is thrilled to unveil a groundbreaking deal for fans who secured their tickets early. From now until May 6th, one week after the highly anticipated music lineup reveal on April 29th, COTA will repurchase any general… pic.twitter.com/7rGtM5bgSQ
This is the most random promo I've seen. COTA wants to buy back passes from fans. Social media comments are not being kind... I wonder if they scored some major music people and want to make more money?
Maybe oversold GA?jorgerr96 said:🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 “Early Bird” buyers win big at COTA!Â

With as big as COTA is, how could you oversell GA by enough to have to buy some back?
Great question but I guess we don't know how many they sold.nai06 said:

Probably just a matter of them wanting to reprice but it's a super duper weird move.
Random Guesses:
1. About to announce Beyonce or Taylor Swift as a performer, want to rake in more money by selling passes again
2. Couldn't renew a remote parking and/or bus transportation contract, now left scrambling to reduce attendance
3. Sold too many GA tickets
4. Mars attack

Yeah, super weird post and a really bad look. They are 100% gonna resell any bought back tickets at a much higher price.
How much were the GA tickets originally? That tweet says they want to buy back for $350. I thought the tickets were at least that much if not higher. Or is it supposed to mean, original price + $350?

wrong forum
Why is it a bad look? Don't sell them back if you don't want to.
Because, on the surface, it looks like a money grab by COTA to reacquire the tickets so they can re-sell them again at much higher price.
McLaren is going to run F2 champ Pourchaire at the Long Beach IndyCar race.
Grass fire during practice and now sprint qualifying
SQ3 was entertaining
It's not like they are forcing anyone to sell them back, just making the offer to repurchase and then will resell. I don't see the problem. If they have to pay a big name artist, they probably need the money. The F1 product sure isn't moving tickets right now. Woof.
nm - miami
best racing we have seen this season.
Well that was fun for about 7 laps.
Good flurry of action from 3rd to 6th but a 13 second win in a 19 lap sprint sure sucks for the sport.
Checo goes from almost finishing 6th to 3rd in one lap. Great battle with Alonso, Sainz, Perez, & LeClerc for a few laps.
It really felt like Sainz never cared to get close to Alonso and when he does he takes him out and loses 2 positions. The way he fought Leclerc was wild too, reminded me of how Webber used to be with Vettel
just wanted to keep LeClerc behind him and attack Alonso last few laps.
That was fun. Degradation during the race might lead to some mix ups . Everyone had traction issues at some point .
For those that watched live, how? I wasn't seeing it on espn until like 2 am?
ESPNU showed the sprint race live if that is what you are asking.
The actual race is Sunday at 2am on ESPN

Weird. Don't have espnu and would have never thought of it being on that channel. I kept checking my programming and scheduled recording and it was showing the sprint race on espn 2 at 2 am.
ESPN will put sprint and qualification on best available behind whatever other American sport is conflicting
Max more than 3 tenths faster than Checo? Yeah I'll sleep through this one and catch the replay tomorrow
1.6 sec gap after 1 lap, will grow quickly with how hard it is to pass Alonso
As a Lando fan I e joyed that race much!
just received this week from F1 Authentics, finally got home to unbox it
This race was almost peak Stroll. Effed up the race for others and finished out of the points.

I liked Nico commentating.
