Everyone except Aston did great this weekend, half the grid got royally fucked by those safety cars tho. Everyone tired of Strolls shit has been peak entertainment this weekend lol

Yep. Stroll with another penalty point for weaving on the front straight into T1.

Comment I saw yesterday compared Stroll to a Mario Kart obstacle. Having gone back to play that a bunch lately, I'm inclined to agree. At first I was thinking it was like he perpetually has triple banana, but I think the piranha plant is probably better, especially since that's something (like his car) that he would seem to have no control over.

Lmfao a piranha plant on strolls car describes him perfectly whenever someone is trying to pass him. I need that Photoshop asap

When you crash out 14 laps prior and you don't want to talk to the media



Ericsson crashed on lap 66. This picture was on lap 80 lol. Such a weird camera pan that stuck on him. - https://twitter.com/brendanhyprstar/...68826611277828

They can suck my dick with those prices. Shit ain’t affordable by a middle class pleb like me. For $900 i can get a flight + hotel + general admission 3 day ticket for the Austin race in an actual track. And i’d still have extra money to spend of the $900.

They're fucking crazy. I don't even want it to be successful at this point cuz literally we could fly somewhere else and watch a race for the same amount of money, and get a vacation out of it.

[Salodin]

And I already know how bad the traffic will be that weekend. Contemplating just showing up in town and walking around though cause you know the entire county is gonna be one giant party all weekend.

For reference, the Long Beach GP was something like $129 + parking for the 3-day GP weekend for IndyCar + IMSA. Shit is bonkers.

[Salodin]

Honestly I hope it's priced that much to keep attendance down, traffic is bad enough with the locals and I can't imagine what an extra 6 figures worth of tourists would do coming out of nowhere lol

I'll be honest, I didn't know how cheap other American Motorsports were. I thought that shit was just standardish.

[Krandor]

It'll still sell regardless of how ridiculous the prices are, it just won't be actual racing fans filling the seats.

The Clash @ the Los Angeles Coliseum back in February (lolNASCAR) was like $30 per adult. F1 at Miami (and likely Vegas) are the outliers.

I think with $900 you can buy a seasons worth if Indycar tickets.

The mega-rich are starting their prep at the Miami GP....

Ya know, towing their yachts to Hard Rock Stadium.

I'm acquainted with someone in the ticket resell business for a living, and he tells me he purchased 100 Miami GP tickets for $75k. He plans on making $50-75k profit off it. I won't be mad at him cause he's always been a cool guy going way back, but fuckkk man this is why the laymen can't go to these things

That said he told me if he has any unused tickets he'll sell em to me at cost

Nico was having a great time today watching Hamilton struggle so much, he will never let that shit die.
