Well in a bit of good news, though there will be no fans allowed as I think is also a great move now, in Indianapolis there are 3 auto races this weekend and all will be televised.
Indy car is on Saturday and NASCAR is on Sunday.
It's like the Memorial Day weekend we did not have this year.
Me too for Formula One and the coverage in the US in recent years via Sky re-broadcast via ESPN, instead of our local fools trying to learn on the fly a week before, is superb
Such was a long time coming!
Now I guess we watch on Sunday for the restart of Formula One in Austria too.
The Austrian Grand Prix was entertaining, and Lewis Hamilton what a cheat and some awesome karma stung him in the end bwah ha ha ha!
The star of the show was Lando Norris who reached the podium by posting the fastest lap of the race on the very last lap so as to trounce that arrogant Hamilton!
And then to compound karma's insult, Ferrari lands in Hamilton's spot on the course before his 5 second penalty too!
Well for F1 as stated by winner of the Styrian Grand Prix Lewis Hamilton, which was the second race on the same track in Austria, well I like this program of two races per course.
As Hamilton advocated, why not? Who does not like a rematch!?
Formula 1 action in Germany tomorrow - maybe it's a more exciting circuit than in Russia.
DRS - I don't care for it when the car ahead can't use it too. What a gimmick. Otherwise if both or all 3 cars involved can use it, I like it.
Tires - For teams who opt for 2 tire changes, I don't agree with the rules that they practically must use all 3 kinds of dry course tires. Most teams are on a one-stop strategy, but the timing of yellows or hot track conditions or tire deficiency or increased action introduce more variables. So if a team wants to make a second pit stop, allow them any new set of tires or if course they can put on used ones too. The odds are already against them enough as it is.
Paola_ X, I believe the rule is that during the race, F1 teams must use two sets of dry tires, not three, which allows for a “one stop strategy”. My son is a F1 nut, especially Ferrari, so we have attended the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on three occasions. You cannot appreciate the speed and noise until you see one of those suckers go by at full throttle. At our first race, the car was pretty past us before we realized it. You “feel” the roar as much as hear it!
Here is a fun clip with PK Subban having 2 F1 drivers race a Zamboni thru a course,
You might be surprised at how difficult this proved to be for both of them.
