cant wait to see him in the rb again, he deserves it

recyclebin · 16-10-2023 9:04pm

How does he deserve it? He still has a lot to prove.

dulpit · 17-10-2023 11:17pm

Apart from the timing of the spring, this weekend is perfect times. Evening races are the best.

I really hope Danny Ric can show some skills when he's back.

dulpit · 19-10-2023 9:26am

New livery for Red Bull for the US Grand Prix. Yeehaw.

Andrew76 · 19-10-2023 9:27am

Was just going to post the same thing. 😁

Not as nice as the Miami colours but who cares as long as it wins.

PsychoPete · 19-10-2023 12:05pm

Haas also running an Austin livery

That's so very American.

AMKC · 19-10-2023 1:03pm

I suppose they have to do something to keep people interested in the races now that all the big prizes are won by Red Bull and Max lol.

They are an American team so makes sense

Frank Bullitt · 19-10-2023 9:04pm

Totally forgot it was a sprint weekend.

Is that FP1 time correct? I'm seeing 18.30 tonight not 19.30.

I got that from the below website, it's super handy for listing upcoming times. It does other racing series too. 🙂

You are correct. there was a change to the timings I used from SKY it looks like, or I could have mixed up the Mexico times.

Charlie-Bravo · 20-10-2023 1:36pm

Nice spot. I've edited the time in my post. 👍🏼

dulpit · 20-10-2023 2:35pm

I go with the sky f1 timing page which is handy. Just wish they'd move the current race to top of page instead of keeping the order of the whole season...

Stroll has a face like a well slapped arse in the drivers press conference

Andrew76 · 20-10-2023 6:32pm

Evening folks. FP1 underway.

ShamoBuc · 20-10-2023 6:55pm

I like this race. Hope it's an interesting one.

PsychoPete · 20-10-2023 7:06pm

Piastri done very well not to end up in a barrier

Hijpo · 20-10-2023 7:20pm

Brundle reporting from trackside is great. The bits he picks up on and feeds back like the pitch of the engine and the movements through a corner are great.

Only 5 laps for him this session due to brake issues. Crap way to start the weekend.

Not much happening in this session, they must be saving tyres or something.

Andrew76 · 20-10-2023 7:26pm

There’s going to be a stack of deleted laps in quali later from track limits.

markw7 · 20-10-2023 9:34pm

F*ck me, Hamilton wasn't long changing his mind about safety for drivers. He has no issue with the conditions for Qatar, comparing it to marathon runners passing out after a race!

Remember him complaining how the porpoising was too dangerous last season, hypocrite as always.
