With news of another Shumacher in the winners circle looming for future F-1 driver assignments, F-1 makes its only U.S. appearance in Austin, Texas this week-end. Hamilton continues to mash the gas for his fifth championship as Ferrari is continuing to falter and fall behind even Red Bull. Should be another good race and this one is on my bucket list. I would love to go see this race in person at some point in the future. That would be really COOL!!

Unless I free up enough $/time for a train ticket (3) to do it in style to Montreal I'll likely never see a GP live.

Not a fan of planes or borders.

I like the track in Texas though.

Did Vettel end up penalized under Red?

Hamilton owns Texas and Vettel continues to eff-up as he gets a three grid penalty for not slowing down when ordered. Dumbass is giving away this championship. Might see Torro Rossi on the podium at the end of this race.

Vettel has discovered some lightning quick speed with the redesigned flooring on the Ferrari. Let's see how fast he can get through his comeptitors starting fifth.

Bottas passes Raikkonen on lap one, setting up yet another race controlled by Mercedes, eventually Raikkonen is forced to yield to Vettel

Hamilton
Bottas
Vettel
Raikkonen

Hamilton has 16 seconds on Raikkonen. He also has a rear tire blister developing.

Verstappen is bearing down on Raikkonen. Verstappen may take second soon.

Hamilton is in the pits. His tires just were too bad.
