Great race on Sunday. With attendance like this, it makes total sense for more Western Hemisphere and North American races. The audience is there.93henfan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 8:22 pm US Grand Prix sets all-time F1 attendance record with ~400,000 over the weekend, eclipsing previous record of ~351,000 at 2019 British GP.

Are they talking about two FI events in the USA next year?Ibanez wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:11 amGreat race on Sunday.

- Spoiler: show
Yes, COTA and Miami already on the 2022 schedule. Miami will be a lot like Sochi. It's not a street circuit or a purpose-built track, but rather a makeshift circuit set up in sports complex parking lots.
For anyone wanting to attend their first GP in N America, I highly recommend Canada. Montreal is clean, cultured, perfect weather in mid-June, and food/lodging are pricey but not W European ridiculous. The track is excellent. It was built on the artificial island they created for the 67 World's Fair and later the rowing basin for the 76 Olympics. There are still some remaining remnants from the World's Fair exhibits that are weird and quirky. There's an apartment complex made out of cubes called Habitat 67 that looks like some shit from a Dr. Seuss book. There's also a lake with sandy shore right behind the main grandstand that my son went wading in between various races, while dad did bikini inspections. Good times.
And Brazil...or is that coming off the schedule in '22?
Nah, it was a good race. The battle for the championship is must see tv. Checo being 3rd gave Max a huge assist with the undercut strategy. Lewis probably wins if he would have been able to get DRS in the last lap or 2. Then there was the battle between Ferrari and McLaren in the mid field. Wish the broadcast would have showed more of that though.
I have Brazil up there. But I haven't heard about them coming off the schedule. North America may be getting a 3rd race - Las Vegas.
One of my favorite moments this season is (Sochi, i think) when Bottas was told to let Hamilton pass and then proceeded to block him for about 4-5 laps.SDHornet wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 10:29 pmNah, it was a good race.

This was after it was announced Bottas was leaving - so what did he care?

So Amy Grant was on the Kelly Clarkson Show this week, singing the update she did to Good For Me on the 30th Anniversary Heart in Motion album that came out a couple of months ago. She had a crazy story about the aftermath of the original release 30 years ago: the second verse starts out with, "You like to drive like Mario Andretti...I like it taking my time." He was still racing, so Amy was invited to the Indy 500, where Mario and two other Andrettis were racing. One had a piece come off his car and go into Amy's box, and one of the others had a horrific wreck. And Amy was never invited back to Indy. Cray-cray....

I've been on that island - '67 World's Fair - took a hovercraft out to it. I was 4, so don't remember much other than the ride.93henfan wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 9:43 amFor anyone wanting to attend their first GP in N America, I highly recommend Canada.

In Montreal, they work with you. In Quebec City, they're liable to shank you if you start with English. If you just throw in a bonjour to start, they'll usually immediately realize you're a stupid American and switch to anglais.TheDancinMonarch wrote: ↑Sat Nov 06, 2021 7:49 am93henfan wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 9:43 am

You forgot to mention how absolutely unpleasant those French speaking Montrealers' are to deal with. They are such a joy!
And go figure. This was flipped in qualifying. Mercedes front row lockout. The two championship contenders go off 2-3 with Max the better starter. Could be another fun first few turns. And will Bottas follow team orders later if he gets out to the early lead?
