2018 Formula One US Grand Prix

[Peter Hooper]

Might as well be 2019 - this season is over!

One of my pet (i.e. repetitive) complaints, but I really wish they could shorten the calendar back to the 16-18 race range.

As a lifelong sports fan, one lesson I've learned that I feel like a lot of sports commissioners/CEOs haven't is "think long and hard before expanding your calendar". It's very tempting/easy to scale up during boom times, but extremely difficult to scale back down if/when the boom's over.

Couldn't agree more. This over saturation just takes away from the excitement of the F1 season for me.. so many races now that it take away from the anticipation and thrill of the events that I used to feel.

Guys, a noob question, where can i watch (legally) the full press conference of drivers? i mean the one before the FP1 , after Q and after the race, there was nothing on sky f1 channel but they can be found on unofficial/random YouTube channels

I actually wouldn’t mind a 25-race calendar if it were logistically possible. I love F1. I wish for more, not less.

Oh, Vettel. It's like you're trying to kill that slim chance you have left.

It seems the Qualy could be dry , there will be rain until around 2:00 - 3:00 PM and the it seems Q1 will be around 4:00 PM (Austin local time)

Very poor implementation! This is America! Where are the spike strips?

With Vettel's 3 place grid penalty Hamilton can already start polishing his trophy.

FP2 was enjoyable for the last 15 minutes. HAM, GAS, VER well performed. Ferrari what's wrong or was it on purpose? Better luck for them during quali

 

[Vincent.C]

Easy title for Lewis this week-end.

 

[Dazmaniac]

They don't need sausage kerbs. They need potholes. The drivers would soon know about it if they drove over one of them off track.

Ferrari used old tire from P1, tire age +20 laps.

 

[Enagee]

Ferrari are planning a Major attack

 

[romanos]

Well that was harsh. Slamming on the brakes there would be way more dangerous. It seems like the rest of the grid is defending him.

 

[gamer19]

He should know better it's not like he's a rookie.
Shame there's always ...something.
Oh those clumsy Italians...

Ferrari are planning a Major attack

They can only plan attack on Mayor.
Mayor of Austin.

Sat watching FP3, thinking what a dull circuit this is. What a difference to two weeks ago in Japan

Changing the tyre color/naming again for 2019 :|

Soft = Red
Medium = Yellow
Hard = White

 

[Durge Driven]

Penalize Seb for something so minor in practice but let Lewis escape for cutting a pit-lane in a race and Val for collision, no penalty, typical

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Haha! The "verstoppen" stops Verstappen!

That's what you get for exceeding the track limits
