I dunno, the dude acts like every old Austrian I've met, just par for the course really.

The best scenario is Nico second winning the championship and Lewis winning the race, that's going to be the best.

Also what the gently caress they red flagged the session over that loving thing.

As an American, I will just say this is amazing to watch parts of a GP at a reasonable hour even if it is just FP 1 & 2.

Tbh it's better to have the 7am races because you don't have to plan your Sunday around it, you can just get up watch the race and then go about your day.

I've missed a few of the American races because I've had to go to a lunch or something.

"your beer will be $8, sir"

He's from Perth, which is pretty much officially the most expensive place to buy beer at a regular pub in the world.
Expect to pay $10-12 in the city. I'm not talking about stadiums, shows or whatever when you expect a rip off price, I just mean pubs near the city or inner suburbs.
Domestic beer at a suburban run down pub out in the sticks would be a $8 bargain.

This is why I like watching live premier league footy in the US on a Saturday, you can watch like 3 games before midday on the east coast or central - it's great.

One good thing about Perth is it's F1 prime time zone except for American rounds.
Races in Europe are 7pm-9pm start (not lovely 10pm or later like it is for the east coast Australia). Races in Asia are in the afternoon (except for Singapore which is 5-6pm).

We have the most expensive beer and Perth is as far as you can get from an actual race track and still be living in the first world! But viewing times are actually good.
I normally stay up for Canada and Brazil GPs because they are worth it, but I normally skip COTA and probably will with Mexico too.
But then again, I'm so bored of life these days I normally find myself going to bed around 9pm, and nearly always seem to wake up around 1-3AM and can't get back to sleep. So I'll often get up and drink until 4am then go back to sleep until 7am.
Last night I managed to watch FP1 because of this so I might be able to catch qual and the race even if it's on at 2-3am here

Also most of south east Asia. 8pm Sunday night race starts = best.

McLaren chairman Ron Dennis' position is under threat from his fellow shareholders.

Ross Brawn, Justin King and Martin Whitmarsh could replace him.

whitmarsh replacing ron would be, hands down, the greatest and most hilarious thing to ever happen in F1. we're all in agreement here, right?

Gasly, who is in his second GP2 season, in the best performing team in GP2 by a long long way, is being beaten by his rookie teammate who not only won GP2 races before him but is also leading the championship.

The bigger question is why aren't teams looking at Giovinazzi?

2 hours after FP3 end. unless you're talking about build up.

In the UK Fp3 end > 1 hour break (usually porsches) > Quali build up (1h)> Quali start
