Just heard from a buddy who is a mechanic for the Historic GP series. Looks like they won't be showing up to the track because the COTA organizers are asking too much money from the historic guys for entry fees. From what my buddy says, they are all going to sit this one out. Dman, i sure hop he is wrong, because that would mean we'll only have Ferrari Challenge & F1 on track. That's not a lot of on-track action.

Currently sitting at Atlanta international ready to hop on my last flight into San Antonio... Pondering whether to indulge in some Popeyes chicken across the terminal

I'm back briefly!!!
Apologize I didn't get to start the USGP coverage. Because I just got married last weekend and it was hectic the week before and after!!! I should return to cover the final race in Interlagos. Nonetheless, enjoy the race, all I know is Kimi will miss the next two races, and Perez will be dumped.

Pit lane interviews with cars driving down the straight are a joke. They need a little sound proof booth or something. Funny as hell to see who can yell the loudest.

NBC can suck it. Worse F1 coverage ever. Badly times commercials, they discuss things in Fisher-Price language for all the F1 'toddlers', and have a terrible 2/3 second delay... So u get to see what happens and THEN they react.
Horrible coverage - great result. Congrats to Vettel - breaking even more records. |

Sorry coverage. With all the tornado warnings here today and the race being on the NBC local affiliate, I missed the pre-race and 26 laps of the race. F1 needs a permanent cable home and not be shuffled around between 3 different stations. How many times do we have to plug the fact that this race is in America? Almost makes me think the support for F1 here isn't what they expected and they're trying to boost it more. I can't stand Leigh Diffey and his hysterics. Accept the fact that yes, pit stops are under 3 seconds and may possibly, maybe, one day break the 2 second mark. Get used to it and move on.
And then to top it off, they miss half the live podium ceremony because of technical problems. The only bright side to that was not having to listen to the Three Stooges for a bit. Bring back SpeedTV and Bob Varsha or move F1 to a paid package like baseball. The endless, repetitive, and frequent commercials take all the fun out of watching a race. That said, it was another cookie cutter race with Vettel in his usual MO of taking off and leaving everyone else to fight over the scraps. I sure hope the engine changes next year bring back some true competition.

Great stuff by GRO, BOT and and Hulk, the rest same old snoozer. We need the greats to pull up their socks. McLaren and Ferrri are pure embarrassment at this point.
