The king is dead, long live the king.
Only 102 days to lights out for 2023..
Hamilton got 50k fine for walking across the track in Qatar but FIA want to speak to him next week in Austin. They stuff really ought to be penalty points and a hefty grid penalty etc.
I believe half the fine was suspended also, so essentially no punishment for a reckless act.
Can't really see Checo being kept on either. If the RB wasn't so dominant they'd be in serious trouble of losing the constructors. It'd be great if they put a genuine challenger in the second car but for obvious reasons I don't think any team would do that any more.
I heard that, and I also knew that the fine was partially suspended. But it's mad that he didn't get any penalty points for that...
Well, you get penalty points for driving offences and, well, Hamilton wasn't driving. 🤷♂️
It's race week!
How else was he supposed to get across the track?
Drivers are meant to wait until instructed by Marshalls that the track is safe to cross
If he got fined, clearly he didn't wait.
Awe OK. Makes sense.
Another cool behind the scenes type video from Mr. Illman - he's checking out the Las Vegas track preparations this time. The race will certainly look spectacular at night, will it be a decent race though...
CH4 race 12.30 am Monday morning, won't be watching it, stupid time.
I agree.
I see Alpine have more big investors on board,
The race is actually on Sunday morning at some point isn't it? The race is Saturday night in Vegas.
EDIT: Thought you were talking about the LV race as that is what the most recent conversation was about.
Race is sunday evening at 8pm Irish time.
2pm local Vegas time.
That's this weekend in Austin (COTA). Vegas is 2ne last race of the season, it's on Saturday night in America, it's 6am our time I believe...

Channel 4 can't do anything about the times due to the restrictions on their highlights. They have to wait about 5 hours after the start of a race before they can show highlights.
Who is the Dick that was going around with Naomi and Jenson today? I was watching F1 Academy live and at the end that dick ruined F1 quali for me so if there is anyone here at the race that has a gun with them could you please shoot him somewhere it hurts like a foot or a hand or between the legs.
You don't over react much do you?
Watching F1 Academy live but wanting to watch Quali delayed...... I don't think the problem is them to be honest.
They're a pain at this stage.
No not at all lol.
I coulda sworn there was dramatic quit #74 2 weeks ago.
Couldn't make it up.
LeClerc would have been saying the same if it weren't for Saniz's podium. Vettel was telling Charlie Whiting to f__k off at this circuit around 5 years ago. There's nothing unusual about Hamilton's behaviour here.
Was browsing the RTE website earlier, and was drawn to the George Russell appreciation society due to open in Dublin thinking WTF?

Interesting, I never really knew anything about. I suppose it is only respectful to go to this wearing a Merc team t-shirt with GR63 on it.
You can't see in the photo, but there is a plaque just under the bust that reads "he turned in on me"
Lol no I do not think that would be a good idea lol. Its a different George Russell also known as AE Russell who was a poet and an artist thar this is about.
I know AMKC - I did click the link! That kinda went over your head. :D
Will be a, delayed reaction.
