It seems insane to sign a 10 year contract for this race given the shambles already. 

Insane?!? They are going to make mega bucks! It’s a no brainer. Max and alonso might cry about it but they’re not gonna race for $5m a year

Regarding Vegas there’s obviously a lot of issues going on but I think Vegas is an entirely different beast compared to any other track in the world and the sheer amount of disruption being caused and planning that has been needed was always going to throw up issues, the track problem for Carlos happens and it’s hard to test for this stuff regarding simulating the downforce I would imagine, it’s not good enough obviously but street tracks are not immune to it and it’s happened in Monaco, Baku and Barcelona before. 
 

I think a lot of the issues right now are teething problems that won’t be present next year as they learn. 
 

The Carlos Sainz debacle is just disgusting really and I really feel for him, he’s done nothing wrong and there needs to be an urgent review of these rules really. 
 

Overall I’ve been really excited by vegas, it can be cringe and it’s definitely more of a spectacle than an event purely for racing, but Vegas does it big and as f1 spectacles go this is the biggest. 
 

Track has multiple good opportunities for overtaking, hoping for a few upsets in quali if Fp2/Fp3 are anything to go by!

Overhead shots are pretty impressive and it's crazy how you can build a race track on the last Vegas strip. Take some organising.

 

From a racing point of view, I have no idea if it's any good and not really paid attention to the build up.

Great quali in the end. Great to see Logan put in a good performance he’s needed that. I think ultimately in rookie seasons you should judge them on their peak performances rather than their consistency. Hes got talent just needs to turn up more often next year if he still has a seat.

Is it going to be easy to overtake on this circuit? Guessing best options will be on that long straight towards the end of the lap

From what I’ve heard drivers are confident of good overtaking opportunities, lots of fast straight and very slow corners to send it down, I wouldn’t be surprised if this track is in the top 5 for overtakes but could easily be wrong. 
 

There’s a few low grip areas of the track especially turn 1 so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few dive bombs tomorrow

So on a weekend one driver takes a grid penalty because the track wasn't fit for purpose, another driver will get away scot-free despite admitting to deliberately obstructing (to put it politely) another driver who, incidentally, didn't make it out of that session. Since Singapore it's became increasingly clear he is immune from penalties lol

 

Literally the same guy who talked himself out of a pole position years ago in a press conference for almost bragging about not slowing for yellow flags at Mexico. The precedent is there, though clearly so is the $$$ to the FIA from Red Bull, who's name incidentally lines the walls of the track 🫣

It's pathetic from Verstappen and should be punished really. There are no rules that Ocon has to sit in a slow moving queue, and is allowed to overtake any slow cars on a build up lap. 

 

Max's reaction is just childish. And against the rules. He should have a grid penalty.

He's been a bit of a dick all weekend so far
