Poll: Official 2023 United States Grand Prix Thread - Circuit of the Americas, Austin - Round 19

Is that in the American way wherein they could get out of their car and walk it in 25mins instead?

Texas is pretty big. They will drive and hour to get a burger without thinking

There used to be a Wendy's at South Mimms services on the A1 (not the same as the USA chain) and I often drove there for a burger, that wasn't far short of an hour each way from where I lived at the time

Can be a good race. I know a few people who live near and they dont go as traffic is so bad takes hours.

Went in 2017 and parked in a locals driveway. Took maybe an hour to get to Austin after, although went on the track walk, but didn't seem awful and roads had a lot more capacity fhan Silverstone.

I can only imagine how bad Vegas is going to be

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with that giant dome TV over the race weekend.

Well according to various YouTubers Aston has been sold, Stroll jnr is gone. Also Toto is gone Mercedes upgrade is huge, Marco might go but Verstappen has threatened to leave if he does and Perez is going to retire.
I don’t know do you think anything is true and does it matter.

Let me get that for you.

Maybe it's just me but I've never seen a YouTube F1 rumour that didn't turn out to be true.

Out of all of those, the Merc upgrade being huge is probably the least likely one.

Ricciardo's name was also spelt wrong...

F1 take action to stop Lance Stroll rumour mill going into overdrive

The rumour mill was almost sent into overdrive when Felipe Drugovich, rather than Lance Stroll, featured on the United States GP signage.

This is is too late for me. But the time the replay is up it'll be the next day

Its possible the Gp will only be available on Monday. It's weird watching f1 on Monday. Even if it is highlights

 

[Feek]

Lance clearly doesn’t want to be at the press conference, he’s proper grumpy.

Maybe he should just respond to comments about pushing his trainer that he is a billionaire and rules don't matter.

maybe we should poll who think Danny ric will do better this weekend

If the rumours about his hand are right I'm not convinced he'll still be in the car Saturday, seems to be some reports its still not quite right

 

[Slam62]

Danny Ric … fooling everyone for years.

 

[Flibster]

He was driving the Red Bull RB7 in Nashville earlier this week.

He does look to be protecting his hand slightly, but looks better than Stroll did at the start of the year.

True but it was a short demo. AT sources we're saying that last weekend he couldn't finish a race distance in the sim

@ci_newman - have you got the ProPlus / Red Bull in for tomorrow night?
