In case anyone is wondering, Lewis was fastest in both FP1 and FP2

The Race have a piece about it - tl;dr: they want to calibrate their models against wind tunnel data. I think that makes sense going into the off season and preparing for next year and the year after.

I read that, I'm sure someone will be flying to Vegas with a rear wing sized carry on for Max as we speak. Despite Helmut claiming they are stuck.

Its a non-issue, still will get clicks. The wing is no doubt already on its way to America.

BBC News - Tsunoda 'nearly sent home' after US customs hold-up

To be fair last time I flew to the US (LAX) I queued for like 2.5hrs to get through immigration as well Americans are more like their communist enemies than they think; they love paperwork, being jobsworths and half the time have super antiquated technology running the show too

My boss wasn’t impressed when my car service was $100s more than it should have been after that, since they charged me waiting time.

Ah yes, I'm sure we'd all like to have the power, but how messy would the races would become if we all had it..
Hamilton's driving skills are never in doubt when he has the car and the driving conditions to suit it.

The cars seemed twitchy in a lot of odd places in FP1 and 2. Probably a lack of rubber down.

Combination of the ambient temperatures being very cold and a very slippery track?

Yeah, seems like a lot of dust/sand being kicked up too.

 

[Feek]

Yup, much the same as last year.
