Time difference, and they race at night so the hotels and casinos can look all fancy pansy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,624 Posted November 17, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 17, 2023 So FP2 had to be delayed and they made it 90 minutes because of the short FP2. So they'll actually do FP2 until 4 in the morning local time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted November 17, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted November 17, 2023 I, for one, am shocked and surprised that F1's latest foray into becoming even more commercialised has so far been an absolute shambles. You're hosting a motor race. All that time and money put into the light shows and opening ceremonies and Netflix specials for this Grand Prix could have gone into actually ensuring the track was fit for purpose. I'm actually glad that they've totally embarrassed themselves so far and I hope the race is shite, which it will be because all of the overtaking is going to happen down that ridiculously long straight which is so wide and long that it's going to be impossible to defend in any way, meaning that nobody will try moves elsewhere in the track, and any faster drivers will just follow the car in front for a lap before driving past (I'm not calling it overtaking) them on that back straight. At least Miami, Saudi Arabia and the other commercially-driven events have managed to put on a competent show. F1 deserves this shambles though for the way they've been running the show in recent years. The fans who have paid to go and see a Grand Prix (a fucking lot in this case) deserve their money back. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,624 Posted November 18, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2023 I watched Quali from bed earlier today. I really thought Las Vegas would be pretty to look at, but it's ugly as fuck. Just tall building after tall building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted November 18, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted November 18, 2023 Yeah fair play to those who predicted the Leclerc pole, especially @MUFC who waited until after FP3 to make his predictions at what must have been about 5:30am for him . Commitment that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUFC 1,507 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 We're used to track temperatures of 45 degrees. This weekend it's been round 15 degrees. It might make the race interesting with the unexpected. Fuck it, I've set my alarm for 4.00am. It starts at 6.00am but I'll have a coffee and a few muffins on my cheat day Sunday.
