I've never understood F1s desire to have this race. It's been tried before (in a car park) and it sucked then, it'll suck in 23 but with more lights. I'm not expecting great things from the Miami Gardens stadium car park track either.

I know they'd like to have a 3rd race in the US, but it's not as if there's no race tracks in the states................

I really hope this doesn't come at the expense of a proper track and there's a few I'd rather have brought back (Germany, Sepang etc) than this.

But then, i'm not into gambling, casinos, don't see any appeal to visiting Las Vagas (grumpy ol me etc) but clearly the marketers think a lot of people will be into it.

I don't know why they haven't gone for a track, well I do but it's purely down on the marketing aspect of it being a LV street track within the lights, it does have a bit of a spectacle to it but wouldn't be surprised if it's similar to the Jeddah circuit at speed.

Guess it's more about the expansion into the US for the Drive to Survive casuals. 

Another US circuit for 2023... Las Vegas. Who's going to miss out? Spa? Saudi?

Jesus Christ Max is insufferable. Interesting race though, shame Lewis wasn’t able to get that tyre change in time with the pit closure but largely glad we don’t have to think about the Saudi circuit for another year.

The Red Bull is quick, the Ferrari is gorgeous and just looks perfectly balanced, the Merc has the pace and cornering ability of a JCB - they have some serious work to do to be competitive this year….

Be interesting to see how Merc manage with the car with shorter turnarounds and more races this year. Interesting to see the gulf between Russell and Lewis. 

Love that Ferrari too and really enjoying seeing them be very competitive again

Mel was supposedly pictured with the admin team in pride park last night 

Doesn’t bother me. It’s his property after all. I don’t think he’s involved in anything except working out the finer details of the stadium with the PB.

In fairness, @Boycie seems to be a serial offender. 

You should probably ban him.

Good band. Seeing them in Brighton, and Foals later in the month too. For my sins, got to go to the Ally Pally with the wife next weekend to listen to Ed Sheeran.

Just wondered why Rooney would consider 'Choke on Stench', surely Mrs R would have a say in that one!

An awful lot quicker to get to Stoke from Alderley Edge every day!

If anything happens on the managerial / coaching front we need to try and get Curtis Davies involved - can't imagine he will be able to play that many games next year.

Think he's more interested in journalism seeing as he's done a journalism degree in the last few years and has said it's what he wants to do for his post-playing career.

Just now, Oldben said:

He's only ever been an assistant manager.

Yes, in literally his first job since retiring. That reasoning does not mean he is not capable. If anything, he has more coaching experience than Rooney!

She's not rubbing salt into the wounds is she?

Probably talking about if we'll see out the seasoning

Poor Red Bull

Interesting to see if Mercedes were bluffing about their car performance so far but I don’t think they were. Think Charles will win today, Max P2. 

We do so much better with Ravel further up than where he’s been most of the season. 

What a game Ravel is having!

I thought that we owed that Polish outfit £2m so we still owe them something. Terrible buy. 

Reports indicate that the MLS club paying for him have paid that to Poznan.
