The biggest losers in this are the fans who spend the day watching races. I don't think it will have any impact on Indy. It's still a stupid decision on the part of F1 for going against Indy.

Red Bull is 4th and only 21 points out of 2nd. That’s not bad for a one car team.

Are you sure? I’m seeing it starting at 3pm May 25 in Monaco so that would be 9am est. https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2025/monaco

That VSC screwed up the race for some of the team and us watching too. Max, Lewis and a couple others really benefited from it for staying out. If it wasn’t for the SC Max would have been long gone. Luck is sometimes a big part of racing so take it when you can get it. I didn’t hear why Charles and Oscar stayed out but I think Charles would have finished higher with some new tires and Oscar might have done better too. Max had them covered today.

I hope Ferrari is selling a lot more merchandise because of Lewis because they could have kept Sainz for a lot less money and got the same or even better results.

I also thought Shep was intimidated or starstruck sitting next to guys he idolized as players like Gibby or Morris. It was something he got a little better with over time but never got over. Benetti doesn’t have that issue but to me just seems to blab the whole game about nothing. I like Dan D and wish he was on TV instead of the radio broadcast.

I completely agree. They’ve downgraded the entire broadcast so much it’s difficult to watch. I don’t see much difference in Benetti and Shep either. I don’t need to listed to Benetti talk about the betting odds of spilling BBQ on his shirt. I feel like he’s just talking to hear himself and Dirks is about as bad. The best thing about Benetti is that he has another gig that allows us to get Dan once a week or so. Maybe I’m just spoiled because for years I got to enjoy the gold standard of Tiger announcers - George Kell and Al Kaline.

Could they just them Jason Benneti and call it good?

https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/04/16/kilmar-abrego-garcia-ms-13-gang-member-history-violence This is just one source. Search the internet and you will find many more things about this guy. Why don’t you prove he is a law abiding citizen that has never been in trouble and deserves to stay in the US as an illegal alien. Whatcha got? It really doesn’t matter because no matter what proof I give you it won’t be accepted because it doesn’t fit your narrative. No wonder this it the ultra liberal loon funhouse because you can’t have civilized discussion with people that don’t agree with you.

Innocent? You must be getting your info from some anti-Trump democrat propaganda site. First, this guy is in the country illegally so he should be deported. On top if that he has ties to terrorist organizations. He is back home now and where he should be. It's sad that people hate President Trump so much they would support terrorists illegally in the country over the safety of American citizens.

This makes democrats look even look very bad. They go across the world to support illegal alien terrorists and try to get them into the US but they sit on their hands instead of supporting a young boy with cancer or a woman who was killed by these illegal alien terrorists.

I’m glad I recorded the race to watch this morning instead of staying up all night. Qualifying was more exciting with the top 3 in Q3 coming in within .05 of a second of each other. Race wasn’t great but it was competitive with all 20 cars finishing and 19 of 20 on the lead lap. I thought Max would fade and get passed by Lando and/or Piastri. Lawson didn’t do much in the Racing Bull and either did Yuki in his new ride. Actually I think this was the first time in Yuki’s F1 career he qualified outside the top 10 at Suzuka.

I’m very surprised that Red Bull dumped Lawson so soon. I wonder what they seen in the race data that was so bad and why didn’t they see that last year? Or was it the money that Yuki brings from Japan? I don’t think they will see a big difference in performances with Yuki in the car. I hope Hamilton designs a better car than some of the clothes he designs that look like the he got the fabric from his grandma’s couch.

Briske didn’t have a good spring and obviously isn’t starting out good. He might be on his way to Toledo sooner than later. We will see how much rope Hinch will give pitchers especially if guys like Foley are doing good.

So far Antonelli is doing the best of the new drivers. I think he will be pushing George for the number 1 driver designation at Merc by mid season. Lawson didn’t do himself any favors. Still a back marker but he managed to finish. Replacing Newey is impossible so Red Bull could be in a long downhill slide.
