Probably cairo street race in front of the pyramids, they are all about landmarks now (tried to pull off a manhattan street race for years)

At some point they don't have enough classics on the calendar left anymore to be replaced with random races though, so then they're done with turning F1 into...nobody knows what anymore

Wait until they start implementing nascar rules, 3 parts to each race, you finish the season and then there is playoffs for some reason, and some other insane rules that i don't even understand (don't watch nascar, trying indycar but also complicated)

It's the day before an NFL game, even if it was a raiders home game (which can be an away game with 18 months advance notice), The only football on saturday's is college

 

I know that hence why putting F1 race on Sunday during NFL season makes no sense in Vegas. Local people would always choose the Raiders game even on TV/stream if it was a road schedule.

Leclerc wins in Melbourne by 20 secs ahead of Perez and Russell. Verstappen out with another mechanical failure. Sainz spun off on the second lap so it looks like Ferrari has a clear championship #1 driver after three rounds already.

Perez asking his engineers if they're still awake and them answering by saying the jet lag is kicking in says enough about this race

FIA has to change that mandatory tire change rule. Why shouldn't someone be able to finish on the tires they started with if they can? 

 

I mean, most of the time the 0 stops strat wouldn't work anyway. Pirelli fucked this race up, the hard tires were waaaaay better than the med.

Verstappen won the Imola sprint after passing LeClerc late in the race. Mercedes are completely nowhere on pace this weekend so the season might truly be a write-off unless they bring some major updates for Barcelona.

Verstappen wins at Imola ahead of Perez in Red Bull 1-2. LeClerc was running 3rd but spun late in the race and only finished 6th.

 

Sainz got taken out by Ricciardo on the first lap.

 

Russell finished 4th while Hamilton only 13th and lapped on merit. Mercedes might not have the pace to fight for wins but the car isn't as bad as Hamilton's results indicate so I wonder if his usual bitching will be toned down since he's #2 driver in the team atm

Liberty wanted a seaside racetrack. Instead they installed a fake marina next to the track.

This Miami track is dreadful (like all street tracks more or less).. Waiting for the inevitable wall crash and safety car parade.
