omarcomin71 3,839 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) These last few months I’ve really got into Formula One racing. I’ve always been a casual fan of motorsports, but once I dove in to F1 I’ve been hooked. It’s perfect for an early morning riser here in the states as most of the races start at 6 AM every Sunday morning. It’s not the most popular sport over here, but I think it’s gaining popularity with more and more races taking place in the Americas. I’m excited for the new Las Vegas Grand Prix in November. Here’s a short preview on the race, and the details of the preparation. Can’t wait! 😀 Edited September 3, 2023 by omarcomin71 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost would be crazy. I think I heard they are investing a half $1 billion Into the race, (new permanent building, repaving etc.) and expect to make it all back after the first weekend.

I expected it to be high up on that that high for the minimum I might as well go skydiving with my crazy coworkers. A cheap adrenaline Rush at this point Never expected the ranch to be $1500 - $38,000 It's going to look cool at night time in Vegas though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omarcomin71 3,839 Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 This last weeks race made history. Max Verstappen wins his tenth straight! After the race Sky Sports announced “Max that is mighty, ten races in a row you’re on your own now, unbelievable, well done!” His response: “Yeah,(chuckles) that’s a good stat” Amazing! It’s hard to root against him. Here’s a breakdown of his streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omarcomin71 3,839 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Well, Max Verstappen won his third World Championship in a row along with Oracle Red Bull winning their Second Consecutive F1 Constructors’ Championship. Very impressive! https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10092527-max-verstappen-wins-2023-f1-drivers-championship-red-bull-stars-3rd-straight-title 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schumi6581 833 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) @omarcomin71 next race is in Austin, Texas. One of the best tracks on the calendar. "The Esses" corners are really nice and what to think of an 11% climb to the first corner! And Austin apparantly is a great place to visit (I have no idea, you've been there?). Btw, don't expect Max to take it easy now he has won his third title already. He will still want to grab all the remaining wins.

I hear it’s beautiful. Lots of Californians are moving there. I’m really looking forward to the race. Looks like a great track. Love the sound effects by the way. Neow… Neow Noew. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schumi6581 833 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Max making winning look easy again, now in Mexico. He broke his own record of most wins in a season. The man is becoming an F1 legend. And I think you can call his car (the RB19) the best F1 car ever made... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought maybe Ferrari had a chance with them both starting in front. It was quite clear from the very start Max was going to be faster. It was a shame Checo Perez was taken out. Leclerc heard the boos at the podium. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omarcomin71 3,839 Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Well, the season is over. After a shaky start, Las Vegas was a fantastic race in my opinion. Very exciting! And, Max of course wins the final race in Abu Dhabi. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-abu-dhabi-gp-verstappen-scores-19th-win-of-2023-mercedes-beats-ferrari/10552134/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALL_es 163 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 So does this mean Ferrari will have a plan for 2026?

As a Ferrari fan I am excited, but I’m also a Charles Leclerc fan, so I hope they can work together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
