There are 3 new drivers this year and we are seeing a transitionto the younger generation finally with Max winning championships, Charles challening and Russell beating Lewis.

Sargent is American too but in a Williams. His time was spot on with Albon though.

I would love to see Kyle Busch in a Formula One car, I believe he would surprise some people.

That would be cool. He would need a lot training though. I think the biggest things when drivers from other series do a stint in an f1 car is the neck forces due to the g forces the car pull in the corners.


I'm excited for the race tomorrow to see what Alonso can do and to see if any of the car manufacturers can challenge an energy drink company.

Surprise them by how quickly he slammed into a wall?

Good race! Not for the lead but for positions. Good for Aston Martin & Alonso. Stroll was solid and is no doubt going to feel sore. Good also to see Williams do so well. Sargent has to be happy with his effort.

Alonso passing was fun to watch. He was pushing that car and having fun.

Mercs ditching the flat side pods finally.

That all black livery is still sweet!

Hopefully Charles doesn't crash in Monaco again this weekend.

F1 in February?

Not so long ago the first race was in January.

My son's going to the Sebring race in March.
I was going to join him, but decided to go wheeling instead.
Guess I'm not fan yet.

I can't wait to see Lewis in Ferrari red to be honest battling Charles.

I can't wait to see Lewis in Ferrari red to be honest battling Charles.

Really excited as well. At 40 he's making a big move. Shows he still has his head in the game. Would still love to see him take one more championship with Mercedes. Mostly because it's Lewis, but also because I just don't like Max.

Lewis could have beens seriously hurt at Monza yet Max walked away with out even checking if Lewis's head was still attached and said on the team radio "that's what you get when you don't leave room". Thank goodness for the halo.

From that point on Max was top-douche in my book. Talented guy but his talent is overshadowed by ass-hole.

I went back to 1994 and this is the only time a race weekend started in February.

Go back to 85 and 82. I thought there was a Brazilian or South African GP in January in the early 90s but didn't see it listed.

 

[Brianj5600]

1982 was the last time F1 opened a race weekend before March. I didn't have a drivers license in '82.

Looked interesting until I saw it was Whistlindouchbag. That guy needs a beating.

 

[Brianj5600]

That was boring.

The only things missing from that parade were FIA and FOM floats and the drivers throwing candy to kids.

 

[Brianj5600]

Another year I missed going to Spa-Francorchamps. I hope to fix that next year or maybe Suzuka. My two favorite tracks.

Well it looks like my daughter and I are going to Spa and Budapest back to back. Has anyone used any of the specialty F1 travel agents?

I don't have any useful suggestions. Just wanted to say that I want to be you when I grow up.
