FIA on the second red flag: “Some Race Control personnel remained on-site when the session was restarted. They reported that the manhole cover was moving as cars passed over it, which led to the session being ended under red-flag conditions. Further inspections are underway” #F1 #LasVegasGP

The FIA are being very conservative with this manhole cover situation. And that's fine, because the alternative is a driver ruins their PU like Sainz did in 2023 through no fault of their own.

FIA on the FP2 red flag: "Following a marshal report of a loose manhole cover at Turn 17, we are unable to confirm this information from the CCTV available, the session has been red flagged as a precautionary measure. Race Control personnel is currently assessing the situation." #F1 #LasVegasGP

The good news is that, at the very least, they were able to get a significant amount of practice done today before having a manhole cover potentially coming up again

Jacques and Palmer just shitting on the old Ceasers Palace layout for no particular reason midway through FP2 is just lol

I can't find a good clip of it online, but this weekend marks two years since my favorite moment watching F1 TV: Laura Winter being surprised on-air and completely losing her train of thought when the Blue Man Group wandered onto the set.

Mickey Mouse himself showing up at the Las Vegas F1 paddock is a bit on the nose, I reckon

I have no idea who any of these characters are but if it gets girls interested in F1 Academy I'm cool with it www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM_R...

That's a massive W for a team that really needed one.

Important to note entering FP1 is that Norris cannot clinch the championship this weekend. An Oscar DNF and a Norris win would leave Piastri 49 points back with 58 still on the board

This is really fucking disgusting… but at the same time, is it not funny that Elon’s bot, while claiming Musk has faced harder trials than Jesus, still refers to the website as Twitter?

It isn’t helmet of the week, that belongs to Hamilton’s. But this is pretty damn cool from Ocon

This weekend marks one year since Logan Sargeant’s career highlight

The Saudis potentially owning the rights to friggin Superman if their WBD offer goes through is pretty insane to think about

I would like to go back to Orlando and WDW sometime but I'll be honest, I kind of just want to go do Epcot more than anything else there.

Something I’ve always wondered is what exactly Kimi Raikkonen says here at the end of the 2007 Brazil press conference after having won the championship by just a point. If you or somebody you know can speak Finnish, I’d love it if you could translate:

I realized I’ve been doing this big Simpsons rewatch without posting any clips from the show. Here you go

NASCAR has uploaded the entire 2025 Truck Series season to NASCAR Classics. As part of the promotion for the new Rising documentary, they have also uploaded the 2023 Fort Worth race.

I've made the F1 TV Tracker available publicly, albeit not fully complete yet. I still need to link all 2000-2025 races along with the original F1 TV programs/docs. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

So I'm currently working on three different spreadsheets: 1. a new version of my NASCAR Classics tracker 2. an F1 TV tracker 3. an IndyCar YouTube tracker All three will directly link to the content in question, instead of simply tracking what is there and what isn't. Here's an example w IndyCar:

The Formula E number is really funny, but then there's the NASCAR claims which are arguably dumber. amgsport.com/nascar-demog...

Just ate some NXT sewage for dinner

If the new Project 91 driver really is going to be Red Bull supported, it wouldn’t surprise me if Tsunoda gets that and an Indy 500 ride as a “sorry but you suck too much for F1 go to the states” exit present

Maybe the best joke of Lisa’s Wedding so far is that all of this technology in 2015 exists but people still primarily use landlines (Maggie hogs the line in a joke that works another way now)

I usually post these comments to dunk on the Redditors but I’ll give props to this one for being correct.

I've been working on a new version of my NASCAR Classics tracker today. This is a completely new style I'm employing compared to my previous ones. I've gotten up to 1985 complete on it. Let me know if there are any link problems: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

1) Palmer & I didn't see eye-to-eye (literally), but if he was in any way racist, Frank Robinson woulda destroyed him. 2) What the hell do you mean "would have"?!?!?

Yeah, I’m not going to buy “Jim Palmer is racist” when the source of the Daily Mail (lol) story is somebody already found by the courts to have defrauded Palmer for a million dollars… and that the supposed victim of the abuse has denied it ever happening and that he is friends with Jim.

Jameis finally rolled snake eyes after being up ahead all day

Getting really tired of Golden watching these deep passes fall to the ground without trying to make a catch

Interesting find: Al Michaels calling the 1980 spring Atlanta race classics.nascar.com/video/ZoRQqp...

How the fuck did the Giants make that pass

For four years, we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Jordan Love. Now, we have no Hope, no Cash, and no Love.

I know it's in just, but Fox running an ad that suggests their daily FS1 lineup is good for the brain has to be a joke, right?

FUCK

Marge taking a shot at Ren and Stimpy (during a clip show no less) a few years after Kricfalusi was fired seems a lot like kicking the dead body down by the lake

How likely is it to be on a jury with your next door neighbor, your sister-in-law, and two members of your barbershop quartet from 6 years ago

It’s pretty crazy how even as late as end of season 5, the Simpsons still hasn’t fully defined some of their characters. Skinner’s mom just appeared in a scene and was just a sweet old lady instead of being Skinner’s mom.

Santas Little Helper is eating raisin cookies in this episode. Never ever do this in real life. Raisins are maybe the worst thing a dog could have, feed them chocolate before letting them find a raisin.

This is a discussion on the DAP program and why Denny doing an hour long podcast every week receives no points but Logano calling into Sirius for 20 minutes does. I feel like I’m actively losing brain cells every time I go to this community

Something interesting I have found out is that Wikipedia has a weird thing with individual F1 seasons. The 2014 championship page is noted as the 68th... but the 2015 page notes that year was the 66th. Huh?

I'm happy with what I've got so far. Taking a break for the day and will finish up tomorrow night. Here's an example of what I have so far. The key tells you what shows or documentaries are on the service that relate to what races the number is next to.

There have been 501 Grand Prix since the start of 2000. The 1000th GP was the third race of 2019, in F1's 70th season.

There have been 327 F1 Grand Prix since the start of 2010.

It's really funny that I'd bet most F1 fans would say 20 would be a good sweet spot for number of races annually, and yet F1 has only had 20 races twice in its history (2012 and 2017, and 2017 only had 20 because the Nurburgring pulled out in March for the German GP)

What a lineup of shows I don't think anybody has ever watched

I've decided that I'm going to make this, and will use this as a template to update the Classics tracker. There are some things I wanted to update on that and they require almost a full remake of it.

If you’re wondering why 1981 is the first season F1 was fully broadcast, it’s because it was the first season under the first Concorde Agreement and that was a provision of it. 1981 was a transition year to 1982, which was what I would call the first race in F1’s modern era.

Having looked more into F1 TV, something I like is that there is at least something for every single race broadcast since 1981, the first year every single race was fully broadcast. What I don’t like is that so little of it before 1999 are full race broadcasts.
