Yup, Ferraris were one-two and being their home track they should do well. This is a power track and they have the best engine right now. Plus Vettel needs a few more points to get ahead of the crybaby. I'm not a fan of Vettel so I'm hoping Raikonnen can win this one with Vettel second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a long shot, but I'd also like to see Alonso win before the season ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The Formula 1 draft 2019 schedule was released Friday, and the race at Austin in 2019 is scheduled for the same weekend NASCAR is scheduled to race in Fort Worth. Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage: “Shame on Formula One for doing this to the fans. Fans have recognized this as the NASCAR date on this weekend since its inception long before Circuit of the Americas was built. I would think a lot of fans – myself included – would enjoy going to both races. Now Formula 1 is making fans choose only one. Yet another bad call by Formula 1 showing their infamous indifference toward the fans.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2strokemerc Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Qualifying on now. Could be a mixed up starting grid, Ricciardo is going to the back because of an engine change. Plus there is a chance of rain during qualifying much the same as last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2strokemerc Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Kimi Raikkonen drove out of his skin today, dishing out a historic F1 lap(the fastest one ever) and securing pole position in Ferrari’s home race. It was an emotional moment for Raikkonen’s wife, who broke into tears after that scintillating Kimi lap in Q3, one that put the two WDC contenders out of a pole position. And while Kimi would have enjoyed his high, the news from the Ferrari camp is not that great for the Finn. According to reports in AMuS, Ferrari were set to announce Charles Leclerc’s signing after qualifying today, but decided against it, as Kimi had produced one of the greatest laps in F1 history. The Ferrari management did not want to steal Kimi’s thunder away and thus decided to keep the announcement for another day. https://thesportsrush.com/charles-leclerc-to-drive-for-ferrari-in-2019-reports-amus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
