I can remember sitting in the grass in Senna turn at end of front straight
best seats in the house, now very expensive seats in stands, likely still best seats
Not many viewing areas any good with walk in tickets.
 
MAx won again, but its getting tighter each race, due to my own schedule this weekend
I seen none of practice, qualifying or the race, but reads like it was fun to watch,
hopefully it keeps getting closer.
 
F1 rules have removed most of the push and shove that most any other class of car racing to a degree, accepts. Max has been criticized in the past for his aggressive blocking, but still appears immune to it. If they really wanted to prevent this ever happening perhaps the penalty's should be much harsher. The ten second penalty is not much of a deterrent for someone like Max who has frequently won with far larger time gaps than that. How about the driver being banned from competing in the next event. That would really shake things up, if the FIA wants to stop any contact during racing.
Another ridiculous part of F1 racing (in my opinion), is the qualifying method used. Drivers are often given penalty's for infractions, sometimes putting them out of the competition for a potential win, and therefore making a race far less exciting. There are only 20 cars in the race. Why not let them qualify NASCAR style? Warm up lap, timed lap, cool down lap, with only one car on the track at a time.
 
I am good with Qualifying and most race things,
I think they are to qucik to give out penatlies, to what most times amount to racing
incidents also very inconsistent

I think like most sports give them the rules, stick the rules and everyone is fine
at the end of the day its a race, let them race, if someone does something stupid,
stop and go, thats end of race for most
2nd one 10 place or put at back for next race, takes win away from most and including Max at this point.

I'm wondering if after this crash John Force will hang up the driving shoes ?

That accident in 2007 with Kenny Bernstein in Dallas was pretty severe, and he came back from it, but he was 17 years younger.

Best interview in motorsports, I've been a fan for at least 25 years, Force is the Earnhardt of the NHRA.

People might not have a clue about the NHRA, but they know John Force.

Max is a poster boy.
They have given him a teflon suit.
Nothing sticks.
They wrote a new rule because of him being notorious for not holding a straight line under braking.
Last week he breaks that rule and only 10 second penalty.
That’s an insult to intelligent people everywhere.
IMO F1 is a joke.

Ho, and yes, I love John Force! 🤙
 
Really good race, with the changing track conditions helping to make it more exciting than usual.
Hamilton was sure happy to have won the race. F1 world record for number of wins at that circuit. Sad to see Russel having to retire the car. Pretty rare for Mercedes. I think Max might have won if there were five more laps. He had the tires to do it.
