nah, he's given up on everything!
Well to be fair to Bottas, the championship isn't decided just yet. But barring some really bad luck on Lewis's part it shouldn't be too tough.

I was just being cheeky referencing his vegan tweet.

Did you guys see the recording where they play the Suzuka start in slow mo and Bottas jumps when he sees Vettel false start? That's how he got such an amazing start. I can’t find the video on Youtube but a guy on instagram @theracingpilot posted it. It's the top post at the moment. Check it out!
Wow, F1 is going to have a second US date in 2021 in Miami (Miami Grand Prix). They have an agreement in principle for 10 years.

Yep, I watched Palmer’s analysis and Bottas has a another Austria 2017 start.
Darn right. The renderings around Hard Rock Stadium remind me a lot of the Sochi circuit plopped in the Olympic park. That could work for a little while, but I hope they eventually move to a South Beach or downtown Miami street circuit. It would really show off Miami more. The football stadium is 15 miles north of Miami.

It would be great to bring F1 to NA more. A west coast race would be even more fantastic!

I'm so down for a Miami race (although I loathe the city of Miami).
But I would definitely go for a race.
I wanted to plan a trip out to COTA but I just can't justify the price.
I have done plenty of different race weekends and I can't imagine F1 being THAT much better than any other ones.
Not for like, $1000+ between tickets, flights, hotel, food, transportation....
Oh and P.S. I didn't watch the race this weekend lol.

It was boring as usual due to a supposedly-awesome finish that never happened because of another Lewis masterclass performance

The finish should have been more exciting but there was definitely tension the last 40% of the race. The aero packages on these cars seem to turn every race track into Monaco unless the tires on the car trying to overtake are only a couple laps old. Hopefully the new 2021 regs will help with this.
I felt bad for Max given how everything just seemed to go wrong for him after the qualifying incident. However the stellar performance by Albon put #7 in the America's league for Fantasy F1.

I didn’t get a lot of sleep the night before, but the uncertainty of the finish at the start kept me glued. Then nothing happened. As all are saying, Mexico proves the need for the 2021 changes. Hope it does!
I like Albon. He reminds me of Button - sneakily fast and usually no drama.
