It's one of the only successful Tilke designs.

I'm actually enjoying FP1 this morning much more than the last 2 F1 races combined

Carlito clocks quickest in FP1 with Max following, second session is at 11PM here and midnight on the Continent.

Yeah it was a sardine can last year. I'm sure it will be moreso this year.

Last year was crazy. I figured might not be as many people as last year, since there isn't a heated title fight this year. But it seemed like there were even more people this Friday. I usually walk around the whole track on Friday, felt like herded cattle as some points.

Mercs new front wing for Austin has been declared illegal and they cannot use it. After initially ok'ing it Fia has said no and Wolff is fuming.

It's funny as Toto blurted out now that Max should keep the '21 title after all as it would be unfair to take it away, probably after Ben S told him he can't have that wing

I would be too. If I send you my R&D, you approve it and I use money out of my budget to build it and now you're telling me its illegal, I just wasted money for nothing and you hinder my development for next years car.

I think it came out after it was approved that the wing acted in another way which wasn't realised at the time that was against Fia rules.

Been hearing about 10% more expected than last year but didn’t really believe it. You could actually get hotels not that far from the track the last few days. Sure they are super expensive but last year had almost zero chance of finding a hotel with 60 miles of here at this point.

Seeing how many people were here yesterday though I think I was wrong... this place was slammed. I fear the full stupid that is going to happen again trying to leave the track after the race Sunday.

Well I’m not really in the practice of judging a cowboy’s looks... but I can tell you that most of our wardrobes more closely resemble this:

Max has a bigger smile than Charles and Carlos in their picture....
He must be getting paid more
