What’s more fake, the track or Lewis Hamilton?…

The track looks fun with a heckuva long straight. Yeah, the "mini marina" is fake. Too bad they couldn't get some trained porpoises in there dressed in Mercedes livery.

“After all, it’s a makeshift track built on what’s essentially tailgating territory in the shadow of a freaking NFL stadium—making it either the most American track ever or the most un-F1 track ever. You decide. ...”


I DID decide: It’s a much better venue than Mexico where you drive through a Soccer stadium.

And it’s in REAL FLORIDA USA! Home of the FREE and the unmasked!

Technically, the Mexico track runs through a baseball stadium of a former Summer Olympics venue.

And Sochi in Russia that runs through an old Winter Olympics venue.

There was also a previous F1 race in the early 1980s that was held in the Caesar's Palace parking lot in Las Vegas, so turning a parking lot into a track isn't anything new.

Thanks.

I really thought it was a ‘football’ stadium but looking (mentally) at the track it makes more sense the way the bleachers are set up.

Miami should be fun for all!

As you know, good FRiend Chode, in Formula 1 there are 10 teams and 19 drivers.

And one diva.

Oh Carp !!! Sorry I have too much stuff going on these days. I found that item at the Moorseville Christian Mission Thrift Shop on the Kitchen Utensils and WTF is this table. The first thing I thought was it’s a funnel. Then I picked it up and inspected it to find out the small end was plugged !!!
As I looked closer turns out it’s got 5 holes around the bottom of it and the “thing” unscrews to become a standard type funnel. Very heavy also and I’m thinking if this things made of Silver...$$$KA-CHING$$$

So back at home I began the online search only to find this:

Royal Selangor Wine Celebration Collection Pewter Fluted Wine Funnel Gift

https://www.ebay.com/itm/203702165149?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338678874&toolid=20006&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A12QZ6g2WLTAy0CoAOi41hpQ9%26customid%3Ds%253AGS%253Bgc%253A5be45b4d72981d82f7d73933caab01d4%253Bpt%253A1%253Bchoc%253A1&customid=s%3AGS%3Bgc%3A5be45b4d72981d82f7d73933caab01d4%3Bpt%3A1%3Bchoc%3A2&msclkid=5be45b4d72981d82f7d73933caab01d4.

Sorry for the 496,344 character wide LINK that has been RPIMA.

It’s a freaking Wine Aerator as wine is poured into a Carafe it comes out the 5 holes.

The E-Bay seller has 3 and wants $130 each for them.

If anyone out there wants/needs this one I’ll let it go for the once in a lifetime deal of $128.50😜

I’d be happy with $65.00 if someone wants it. I’m afraid if I sent it to halfbreedhammy it would replace a Hamster.

dilution? same-same inflation

Why F1 Teams DON’T Want Andretti To Join Formula 1

OK, fine, if the existing F1 teams' main argument against Andretti is dilution of the current $200 million purse, with 11 teams receiving $18.2 million each instead of 10 teams receiving $20 million each, then take Andretti's $200 million entry fee and add $20 million to the purse each year for ten years.

That would make a $220 million purse split 11 ways, which is right back to each team averaging $20 million, and viola, no dilution for ten years.

No, there's more to keeping Andretti out of F1 than just money.

There is an interesting article talking about the 11th team just needs to increase revenue by a reasonable amount to offset the dilution. I will have to look for it.

Maybe Mickey should offer the team to Audi 😂
