FWIW you guys who don’t have pay tv or partake of piracy, MotoGP (NBC), F1(ABC), and Nas(NBC) races are all on network OTA this weekend.

[Chode]

thx

[Bob434]

We had Steven King come and visit our high-school once- I skipped the meeting- didn’t care 5o see him- if Hamilton had come to the school, I would have done the same

[mabarker1]

Question?:

Watching P1 and noticed that the DRS is being used(active), is that under the 1 second rule or available anytime while in the DRS Zone during Practice ?

[mabarker1]

Drivers complaining about dusty track. Has not been raced on for 18 months. Was being used as a chicom flu Field Hospital with Emergency Vehicles parking on it.

[Lockbox]

Available to use DRS in the DRS Zone during practice and qualifying with no one second rule.

[nascarnation]

Dumb question...is a track still dusty if they run street sweepers around it? Our local burg uses sand instead of salt here in the winter, but after the sweeper guy comes around in the spring, the asphalt seems pretty clean.

[mabarker1]

Thank You

[mabarker1]

I was thinking the same thing, why don’t they do Street Sweepers.

Then after more thought I decided that all of them had crossed the Border and were up here not sweeping Our streets...

[Seaplaner]

I was also thinking along the same lines.

A city of nearly 22MM peeps should have a street sweeper or two, n'est ce pas?

I've also seen blowers that can be towed behind trucks used on bike paths, very effective for leaves and goose poop. Should be able to handle little ol' dust, right?

A country that fields an F1 race should be able to provide a simple solution for simple dust.

[mabarker1]

Or bring in a Military or News Chopper at like 25’ AGL.

[Yo-Yo]

I’ll be honest, when Verstappen first came on the F1 scene at 17, I didn’t like him. I thought he was reckless and a danger to others on the track by taking needless risks.

But he has matured into a world champion class driver.

[Chode]

yes he has.

did you notice ALL the “black BS” propaganda is gone from the cars? even Mercedes...

only car i saw unfortunately was Kimi’s and said we race as one on the halobar, but ALL the rest seem to be gone!!!

HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, may the wokeness bulsh!t be banished FOREVER!!!!

Fun race!

See you next weekend ‘between the lakes’!

[Chode]

yes. it.. was...

[mabarker1]

when Verstappen first came on the F1 scene at 17,

David Hobbs called him “The Baby faced Assassin” regarding the way he would put moves on other drivers and keep on going.
