    Yeah, he's had some annoying statistics. Like not making a position up from the grid in two years.

    This feels like a much better grid than we had last time he won a race. Only two of the World Championships won since 2004 have left the grid (I think), which is a silly way of looking at it but it does demonstrate how much experience there is knocking around at the moment.

    I was thinking earlier that if/when Hamilton wins the title this year, that will equal what I believe to be Schumacher's record for the biggest span between first and last titles.

    Schumacher 94-04 (10)
    Hamilton 08-17 (9)
    Lauda 75-84 (9)
    Prost 85-93 (8)

    I'd never given that a thought before. It'd be even larger a gap had he not binned it in China 07.

    It must be frustrating being a home fan in this race waiting for 'Checo' to actually be able to pull off an overtake. He should really go and race sports cars.

    It's going to be a bit anti-climatic seeing Hamilton win the title without being on the podium.

    If he gave it the Booker-T "5 time" and then hit a spinaroonie, I wouldn't blame it. Though I'm guessing we'll see more of a pandering speech thanking god or some awful shit, to give people a reason not to like him.

    Rather fallen out of the narrative has our Herman, he was all the rage back when people thought he'd abolished overtaking.

    Tilke is capable of building a beaut (Sepang and Istanbul both personal favourites), he was probably penned in on most occasions by the need for massive Newey-proof braking zones and 8 billion acres of hospitality tents.

    And streets. Although, in the case of Sotchi, they made some streets up.

    Miami is dead in the water last I heard. Vietnam, South Africa, Netherlands, possibly Copenhagen all at various stages of trying to get onto the calendar.

    Ya it doesn't look good but I'm still hopeful they figure it out before 2020 (they won't, everything in Miami is a shitshow)

    They should drive through Marlins Park in the same way they do the baseball stadium in Mexico, except at Marlins Park a game could be on at the time and no one would be disturbed.

    When I get DONNED by Marlins bantz on this website it's even more painful than just being a fan of the Marlins in general.

    I can't imagine Miami being good. That place is flat. I'd take Sebring but I suspect F1 suspensions wouldn't like to deal with the slabs. If Netherlands is up for one, I wouldn't mind seeing Zolder (nevermind, that's in Belgium) or Assen. Zandvoort. That's the one I was thinking about.

    They're talking about Assen but isn't it tiny? They'd have to completely redo it.

    Zandvoort is a great place but you can't get anyone there.

    Yes, Zandvoort is a cool track. But F1's requirements put most cool tracks out of contention, unfortunately.

    Modern F1 you basically have to have long straights and massive braking zones, and apparently utterly shit bits of street circuit like the middle sector in Singapore, the end section at the Hermanos Rodriguez, and the whole track in Baku. Anything as fun as Tarzan corner or whatever that opposite camber right hander is at Zandvoort would just be more cars following each other in dirty air.

    Rumored layout of the Hanoi circuit.

    The top parts looks like suzuka and then it is long straights followed by long hairpin corners. Sounds cool.

    They did. Those roundabout corners would be the worst ones on the calendar. Absolute dogshit.

    Yeah, Suzuka, meets Monza, with a bit of Nurburgring chucked in (moreso if they bank the roundabouts).

    More reminiscent to me, at least in spirit if not the literal corner types, of the '91 Phoenix layout, aka the worst track ever created.

    The Germans have done some reprehensible things over the years but talking over that must be right up there.

    The important question is, in what way have they fucked up either/or the pit entry and exit?

    Also, as the first new build of Liberty Media's tenure, I can't imagine they want a short term race like Korea or India.

    Indeed it has. This season was the first without it since it came in, iirc. Maybe it was missed off in 2016 or something like that for contractual/Bernie reasons.

    Leclerc with a banging lap just then, chucking it through the middle sector of Interlagos on a dampening track. One of those laps when you can visbily see the driver throwing it sideways through corners, wonderful to watch. I hope he doesn't make Ferrari likeable for me, no one has managed it yet.

    Hamilton on holiday mode here. Leclerc vs Vettel might the most fun thing next season.
