Miami GP announcement!
maybe 2 US GP'S from next year, I can see why they want to crack the US market for the strength of its economy and mature racing pedigree but where does it stop Las Vegas, New York and Los Angeles have all been mooted as other potential targets for F1 races by Liberty Media
I suppose you could ague the US is so big and it definitely needs more than one as it has its own racing traditions to distract from F1, the fact Liberty Media is US helps and they can add destination races rather than money pits in the East with dubious regimes!
east coast I suppose is easier for transporting equipment across the pond with teams based in western europe but will it lose another GP or is it an addition to the calendar?

I need to keep up with news lol, there is only so many races that can be held, and I would presume some of the less exciti g races may have to take a back seat. but there has been talk of another us race for years and nothing has come of it. but who knows now liberty in charge something might happen.
they could I suppose get rid of one boring track and add another 3 US tracks, which could swap every season like Germany did just with 4 tracks?

Havent even watched the qualiy yet,
i have been a bit slack this year which is very unusual for me, maybe because i have to wait for higlights on 4 when its not live, then next year wont even get that,
and theres no paticular driver im following at the moment may off made the effort if Kubica got a race seat,
Not a Hamilton fan either, so waiting on the next british driver to make an appearance lol

young lad Aitken just won the GP2 in Barcelona this weekend, I think he is a f1 test driver Renault!!!
I don't particular like Hamilton, Ricciardo my favourite but ill support British regardless.
its such a pity as Hamilton is the modern days playboy driver, not a patch of Hunt!!!! playboy these days means bell end and hip hop, rather than sex, drugs & rock'n'roll
Hamilton want to dominate his bitches were as the birds just flocked to hunt lol

another win for Hamilton and no podium for Vettel that cock up in the safety car pit costing him a bit
double slip stream by Vettel of the grid was well played

Watch it all last weekend. Like Lewis said in an inteview, he'd turned down the engine to save the tyres, so it turned into a procession. I like Monaco when the weather is mixed or total rain, but not a fan of a dry Monaco. My favourite track is Spa and always will be, Eau Rouge; just beautiful at 180MPH+!!

yeah Monaco has the glamour aswell as crashes, the level of concentration and planning can be admired but its usually not the most pleasing on the eye as far as racing goes.
i always loved Laguna Seca on racing games, cant beat that blind drop into the corkscrew.
Interlagos was always fun, the speed you picked up on the last few bends coming steadily uphill and around on the home straight and bam into that chicane, used to make for a good 1st lap crash or two aswell
