    Lewis can win from now on & all Nico needs to do is finish second or third. He will need for Nico to have a couple of DNF's. I'm still cheering for Lewis.

    I'm wondering what exactly happened to Kimi's car?

    Fernando got his mojo back.

    Thanks Steve. I saw the pit stop, but couldn't figure out why they told him to stop. Now I know the rest of the story. I'd hate to have been the guy who botched the wheel change.

    I figure those sparks were from the gun hitting the pavement, still spinning.

    US Grand Prix, through a novice’s eyes: Do these always feel like a parade?

    http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/10/us-grand-prix-through-a-novices-eyes-do-these-always-feel-like-a-parade/

    Something that caught my attention:
    "I went to Monaco earlier this year," my F1-loving brother-in-law said as we walked to the Circuit of the Americas from one of the track's paid parking lots. "Even with flights accounted for, that was cheaper than this whole weekend." His costs for this event, of course, included two season passes to the track and passes for his kids on various days, but that's still saying something. A "good" F1 experience at the Elroy track doesn't come cheap.​

    Maybe this will help with track limits.

    If Bernie is right about this, that fans are mostly interested in the carnage and risk of life and limb, then I'm going to disassociate myself from motorsport.

    Fortunately for me, I don't think that's likely...

    Call this another example of Bernie looking at F1 as a show and NOTHING else...and getting that wrong as well.

    Bernie surely has a case of early onset alzheimer's disease. He is getting more stupid by the day. I say Bernie should strap himself to a wall & see how close the cars can get to him. Only kidding folks, well mostly.

    Yup, this...
    ... is the sort of crazy I'd expect to be made up by SniffPetrol to make fun of him.

    I'm loving the slowly building discussion of Ross Brawn as a candidate to work with and/or take over from Bernie.

    The Red Bull guys think they have a clear advantage off the grid. That expectation alone is enough to tell me there's a strong chance of drama at the first turn. If they can keep the carnage to a minimum that first lap could be a lot of fun.

    Beyond that, why knows?

    No spoilers from me. If you haven't yet watched the race, do it. Don't leave before the end.

    Stay PAST the end of the race.

    Also, for those who did, I think the dust still hasn't settled.....
