I already like the look of this track. reminds me of a cross between monza, australia, abu dhabi and a bit of hockenheim.
The stadium section looks incredible

Well opinion Is Lewis going to help Rosberg beat Vettel and come 2nd in the championship ?
Not likely !
I think Mercedes would like that to happen, whether it will or not.
In my opinion it should, thats the last of the pieces to slot into place for Mercedes. They will want to do all they can to secure a championship 1-2.
"sorry Kimi"
A radio call we have gotten all too accustomed to hearing.
Ferrari proving again that they are a one car team...and have always been
the fin is out of FP3 with an smoking engine
SMH
:stareup: That doesn't bode well for Haas. Oh wait different Ferrari team with only one strong driver. ;)
Jenson Button's starting the race from the front row of the grid in Texas now after his latest penalty.
What a stupid penalty system. All very silly really.
As for the track it looks tricky and fun to drive. I imagine the only overtaking spots are the long straight though. A lot of the track is tight and twisty. Be interested to see if its a good race. Not many overtaking spots but hopefully it keeps the field tight.
Did anyone hear the conversation between the Force India pit and Hulkenberg. Who ever it was, was the rudest engineer ever heard in open radio in F1. Clearly Hulkenberg hasn't got the right man in his corner on the pitwall. The chemistry seemed clearly counter productive. With the sort of downturn of performance with Hulkenburg recently, you have to wonder if hearing this fellow on the pitwall gives some insight to some of his [Hulkenberg] problems. One would think a change on that front would help Hulkenberg's campaign in 2016.
Not long until the start of the race dawwgs
:p
Come one guys..... feeling excited about this one. When you see this crowd and atmosphere you wonder if there is a way these kind of races could take preference over Russia, Bahrain and next season Azerbaijan.....
Its so much better than those soulless tracks.
So
Hamilton v Rosberg side by side into turn 1 would be spicy :)
Vettel must be licking his lips for that
I'm on it Steve. Let's get this show started! :)
Great stuff
Lets hope Perez gets past turn one. :angel:
Fred's out! :(
Aww Fernando Out
Vettel needs a SC
Rosberg may well have this race in the bag
No penalty hopefully but if they do give one it must be to Vettel.
Seb with issues? Or pushing too hard?
Looks like Mr. Ricciardo needs to slash Vettel's tyres these days to compete with him. World champion material my bottom...
Not Seb's day!
Felipe donkey
Donkey Kimi
Yeah Kimi, not VB!
This is turning into a Mercedes white wash!
Hamilton should take a gamble and push hard and pit late on for softs. Championship is done, they are way clear.
Take a punt to make it exciting
Somehow, l don't think Hamilton would challenge Rosberg for the win as he wants to help his teammate secure 2nd place in the championship. But the day is young, anything is now possible with Vettel in 6th position at the mo.
Wow, Rosberg just lapped Vettel, he should regain 2nd place if the race were to end right now.
Stupid that Vettel is ordered to let Hamilton past. He was way ahead and quicker. Marshalls wave blue flags way to early these days.
The Kimi incident was just crap driving By Kimi. He seems to have a red mist moment when Bottas is anywhere near him.
Looks like Williams are stuffing their strategy again by not pitting one of their cars in this pit window. Redbull seem set to take 3rd and 4th
Safety car :eek:
