F1 2023 Season

[SilentWitness]

People need to heavily complain about this.

Just looking up videos now and in the day time there is nothing to see regarding the strip because they've boarded up a load of areas so you can't view the race without tickets but that also means you can't view Vegas in the daytime. Poor buggers to anyone that's times a Vegas trip for now without realising or being uninterested in F1.

That's also forgetting the shite track layout and track issues!

Imagine starting practice at 2am

This whole thing is an embarrassment.

[RoadTrip]

Honestly is farcical.

Then again, I've never thought to watch a FP session, but now I think I might just have it on in the background.

I am the same , its only ever on in the background.
I have major doubts that repair will last FP2 never mind the whole weekend

Yep, a race the residents of Las Vegas dont want. A race the fans dont want. A race too many for the drivers in an already bloated season. Only one who wants this to happen are the money men and women. They have enough money already as it is.

Doubt anyone would unexpectedly plan a trip to Vegas this weekend. The cost is 3x usual, and hotels cancelled existing bookings so they could make more money.

[altodevil]

Just about sums up F1 under Liberty Media.

Joke of a sport now.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I did say earlier this week, that this would be either a total shitshow or a great weekend, looking like a total shitshow so far

 

[goalscholes]

People seem annoyed because this race is corporate and in ‘merica, but I’m just delighted they’ve finally timed one to coincide with an international break

… if it goes ahead

 

[rimaldo]

I presume they will have checked all water/man hole covers on the track, but how will they have checked them?
Somebody just going to look, maybe stamp on it and saying yeah that fine, but there could be cracks or damage not visible.

it’s america. they’ll fire an assault rifle at it and then try and grill something on it.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

start time is now 10:15am , but even that is not confirmed

it’s modern day f1. those weekends are pretty synonymous now.

 

[goalscholes]

Also choosing whether to overtake over potentially exploding manhole covers is like real life Mario kart.

 

[gormless]

Grid penalty for Sainz because he needs a new engine. Absolutely ridiculous

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I can imagine the drivers and teams being pretty nervous.
They have no idea if the repairs have fully worked or if there is any more suspect covers.
Close to 200mph and dodgy manhole covers

 

[goalscholes]

Sainz getting a grid penalty for his engine change

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Sainz getting a grid penalty for his engine change

you have to be joking !! that is just wrong, totally unfair on him and the team.
FFS could the FIA be any more incompetent.

But it might yet turn out to be a great weekend due to the extent of shitshowness

 

[dinostar77]

start time is now 10:15am , but even that is not confirmed

now 1030am, sky f1 just confirmed

 

[pauldyson1uk]

WTF fans being moved out of the stands.
This is becoming more of a farce minute by minute

 

[RoadTrip]

Shocking that Sainz gets a grid penalty. Beyond ridiculous if you ask me.

 

[mitChley]

They've kicked all the fans out the grand stands?

 

[RoadTrip]

now 1030am, sky f1 just confirmed

Wouldn’t surprise me if it gets cancelled in the end. Or, session time reduction. Have an FP2 for 20 mins so they can justify not recompensing fans.

 

[Dan]

This is getting cancelled.

 

[Ajr]

The F1 clown show continues, wish there was another series to properly rival it.

 

[Ahmer Baig]

Totally unfair on Sainz because of F1 feck up.

 

[dinostar77]

It will start, there will be a few laps and someone will crash and it will red flag and end for the night as the roads need to be opened up.

 

[Leg-End]

F1 is truly cursed when it comes to USA...well the USA fans are anyway.
