I'm not sure who is shaking their head more, McLaren or Honda.

Meanwhile the colorful grid this year just got another bright color via a new Force India sponsor.

I have been thinking, i know silly me i really shouldent do that

Anyway with that huge vertical plane behind the driver why havent they put a rudder on the end of it, aside for fawking up airflow over rear spoiler wouldent a steering surface like a rudder help keep rear end from sliding out in corners = higher cornering speeds.

Providing off course the rubbers can take it, and it wouldn't screw up the function of the rear spoiler.

Why no mention of the Hass cars ? are they hated upon or something ?

Unlike Alfonso, he don't seem to have a lot of fun with that Honda engine.

And Hass, well so far not having that much fun with the Ferrari engine

Anyone planning on going to this years circuit of the Americas F1 race?

Oct. 20-22. General Admin tickets are $189 for Fri, Sat, Sun.
Parking for the 3 days is $119.
Not sure about a hotel yet, but I'm thinking of making the trip to Austin this year if I can figure out the transportation from Nebraska.

I'm hoping to make it to COTA. I've been invited to Mexico as well so not sure how it's going to play out for me.

Honda has crap engines and Sauber wants in on them. nice.

Sure hope Honda figures their problems out to keep Alonso racing tho. He's clearly not happy at the moment.

I likely will never be able to make it out until my son gets older. Hopefully COTA or other US GP's are around by the time I can go.

I hope they survive and catch up. I'd like to see more than just 3 engines on the grid.

Bring back Toyota, BMW, Ford, Cosworth...

Make it feasible or worthwhile for VW/Audi/Lambo, Alfa Romeo.....

I was just down there last weekend for the MotoGP race. It was awesome. You can drive it one day, I did.

Congrats to Bottas.
Nice drive he pulled off. I'm agreeing with Vettel, If you get a good drag down the run you can get almost get a better run up to the lead with a long sweep like they have in Russia. But still a good drive by Bot, I was just hoping Vettel would have been able to make more ground and really make a race out of it towards the end. Nice Ferrari Lock out on the front row none the less.

I even wore my 17 Ferrari team polo, Ferrari racing Red cologne to help pull off the win. Should have used my Ferrari deodorant spray too. Sorry guys, my bad......

FERRARI ! ! ! ! !
