yeah, it appeared to be a pretty unspectacular race around a very dressed up car park.

still wondering what changed between Friday and Saturday to make the Mercedes so drat slow though.

They were distracted by the off-track shenanigans of Lewis Hamilton complaining about jewelry.

If you read my earlier thesis you would understand that his status as the most moral driver in history is at stake here, not the outcome of mere motor races in Miami/Vegas parking lots. You must have an eye toward history. Also I've been considering getting a Mr. Coffee fully automated Cappuccino maker

Why struggle? I watched the first ten laps, saw Max overtake, then woke up with like 3 laps to go to see the finish.

you come back to check in on what the thread thought of the Miami GP and get into the midst of a lowlands political slap-fight. Take that poo poo to D&D but keep it out of here please.

I know this is The Worst Thread but we have actual racing to talk about, save the air fryer chat for the ever-shrinking offseason.

It is a crying shame that the most vaporwave team (Alpine) did so poorly on their adopted home turf.

I have nothing else to add to the race. We could go "boring track" ad nauseam or continue making "American parking lot" jokes or pointing out the fake marina but there's only so much we can do.

Question: will the Las Vegas GP be better or worse than what we got here

Anybody know of a live race audio commentary in English that's in time with what's happening?

I can watch races online by VPNing to Luxembourg, but they have local commentators who I don't understand.

I tried the BBC audio from the website but that seemed to be about 30 seconds behind.

Very strong rumors from various sources: Aston Martin has prepared a practically new car that will premiere at the Spanish GP. They have been working on it since before the start of the season.

There may be something American but it’s important to note that the last time I turned on radio 5 live it was Johnathan Legard on lead commentary, this is the guy so truly terrible that they replaced him with Crofty

It's James Allen now. When Crofty was R5L he replaced Maurice Hamilton. When Legard was on BBC's TV coverage, he was replaced by Brundle and Coulthard before Bernie sold the rights to Sky and suddenly Crofty was no longer confined to medium wave radio or half-cut, fat men throwing arrows at a wall.

lol i remember legard in 2009 was so awful

hed just spend two minutes meticulously listing who was in what positions at the bottom of the grid while the leaders would be fighting on screen

james allen really wasnt that bad he just caught a lot of flak for getting caught up in lewismania, but wtf else was he going to do, it was a british team on a british network dealing with lewis hamilton when every british driver since mansell had been a binman faildriver

many years ago i used to work nighshift in a supermarket and half the people there would drink a 1.5 litre bottle of energy drink throughout their shift, every shift. i wonder if they're still alive, that can't be good for a person.

It’s not a bad thing that the Mercedesreich seems to be at an end, as much as I would like Lewis to have 8 WDCs instead of 7.5, but the fact that the up and coming challenger is Red loving Bull is the worst way of ending that run.

I had 1 red bull in my life and it tasted vile. No idea how it’s so popular.can’t be due to the popularity of their drivers either

The only drink that deserves to be a sponsor is Arizona Ice Tea imho. I know they don’t do advertisements, but a teal and pastel pink colour scheme would own. I’m going to spam Alpine’s instagram until they listen to me
