Yeah, and it's IndyCar, so even Williams has a chance.

One of the lazier running Indy 500 stories this year has been that Santino's team, A.J. Foyt Racing, has gotten better because the wife of the founder died. That is supposed to have inspired everyone to work harder in her memory, which seems kinda backward. Maybe she would've hung on longer if you guys hadn't sucked so hard for so long.

Out of curiosity, what does this look like? Seeing Monaco is on the bucket list, and my wife wouldn't be opposed to coming as well. How much do "decent" seats run? Can you find a hotel in Monaco for $500-1k/night during the race?

i don't think any f1 cars actually look objectively good, since they're just covered in a collage of ads and the paint job serves to highlight them

the ferrari looks alright, in a relative sense, but that's about it. in general they're kinda ugly

It was under €1k total per seat for all 4 days, we are sitting in a different grandstand every day to get different views. The bulk of the cost was like €500 sunday and €300 sat. I am super happy with the seats, there aren’t really ‘amazing’ seats in monaco just due to the nature of it, but we have casino square, the swinging pool, and rascasse looking into pits as some of our seats which are all pretty great grandstands. We looked into a hotel we could watch the race from but it seemed not worth it. These tickets were bought from like ACM directly. Right now the euro is extremely weak, my no foreign transaction card is converting at like 1.08 USD per Euro so food has been awesome.

We are staying in Nice which is like a 20 min €5 train ride away. We have a 2bd 2ba flat with AC for like €140/night. This is way cheaper than normal but we booked all this in december. https://www.nicepebbles.com/ is the company that has multiple properties here, flight to AMS was in miles due to my friend having a boatload of Delta miles from international work trips.

Also the flat in Nice is amazing and worth a trip to just be there for a week outside the race.


In other news, the mechanics were blasting euro trance today so I think that means ferrari will be essere’ing and sharl will be the jewel in the crown

If it's of interest, you can go into the lobby of the Fairmont at the hairpin, where they have a bunch of F1 memorabilia on display. There's also an underground supermarket a hundred yards up the road to grab some beers on your way back to Casino Square. Hope you have an amazing weekend!

My little airbnb is gonna be 3k for 4 nights, hotels are pretty nuts especially in Monaco. A month ago everything was in the 20k's.

Cheers this is good looking out! I think the supermarket you were referring to we stopped at today while we had some british bloke give us a walking tour of the track as a group. Honestly cool dude said he moved here from London 10 years ago and clearly has been watching F1 since he was a kid.

The early-mid ‘90s was the peak of aesthetics to me, but until like 2005 they still looked alright. 2008 cars with aero everywhere didn’t do much for me, 2010-13 was ok as well.
