Thats correct it was billed as a competitor to F1 but its more like xfl to nfl. It was a spec series also which meant all the teams had the same car with set up changes, strategy amd drivers. It was funded by a private equity fund and the financial crash put an end to it. I watched it at the start, wasnt great more like indy car road circuits than F1

Horrible news he would want to piss off and retire for himself, the thought of him driving for Ferrari would sicken you.
Ferrari were always the team everyone enjoyed watching win regardless of who ypu backed. Hamilton is so unlikeable. My big question is how will Le Clerc react to this, Hamilton isnt coming in to be number 2

Leclerc can’t be too happy I’d imagine. There’s no way he will be pushed to the side though, Ferrari adore him.
Clearly Hamilton reckons (or knows) that Ferrari are well set for the new regulations IMO.
No i agree Le Clerc is a potential world champion, ferrari havent had the car to challenge, maybe the start of 2022 but they were a strategy circus.
Its bizzare if Hamilton and ferrari are looking at him for 2026 he’ll be 41. Will LeC go elsewhere?
I assume this will lead to Sainz foing to Saubar to be the number 1 driver for Audi in 2026, LeC signed a new contract last week

Las Vegas has released a 40-page report breaking down the economic impact of last year’s Formula 1 race.
Here are the highlights:
• The total economic impact has been measured at $1.5 billion, including visitor spending of $884 million.
• The race generated $77 million in tax revenue — more than any other event in Las Vegas history.
• F1 spent $88 million on public infrastructure improvements (not including land acquisition, etc.).
• Race visitors spent 3.6x more than the typical Las Vegas traveler, staying 4.1 nights and spending over $4,100 on average.
• Local workers earned $52 million in wages
• The event created 7,300 jobs, including 2,200 for race-related construction projects and 5,100 for event operations.
• The Las Vegas Airport was the second busiest airport in the country the day after the race, with 2,200 operations.
Clark County says it was the largest sporting event, with the largest global audience, in Las Vegas history.
Safe to say F1 will be back for the foreseeable future!
Lando Norris finally breaks his duck & is now an F1 winner. 
Seriously impressive win too as he drove away from Verstappen to win.
Got a bit of luck with a safety car but he was still quickest on track before sc incident regardless.
Great race produced in Miami

He was driving very well too, fortunate withthe safety car.how it panned out but thats the sport, he put himself in a position to take the chance.
Does appear that the pack is closing in on red bull too. Mcclarn looking very strong with 2 good drivers. Sainz unlucky not to be P2 after the first corner when perez almost did a bottas. Yuki had a very strong weekend too.

Puts a snack box in junction 14 or Obama Plaza into perspective…
I find the US races insufferable tbh, another example of F1 in the US lacking the class you would see in europe. Compared those prices to the Masters, its a different world across a single state line

It seems Ferrari have bought a lemon. Hamilton don’t got it no more
Wet/dry race in Silverstone currently with lots of rain due
Great race tbh.
Hamilton immense in the wet and great to see him win a race.
Lando is undoubtedly very quick & Mclaren have really got that car going well. But, they need to be stronger on strategic calls and let Norris just drive. His in car calls are costing him wins now and sulking afterwards is highly immature.
