F1 will be in Canada the same weekend as Indianapolis.

Ah.  Got the schedule wrong.  It’s not like that would’ve ever happened anyway.

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.

Can't have a race weekend without a Norris mistake.

Turned on the Indy Car race just in time for this.

Pretty scary crash. Amazing that they both walked away from it

I was laughing the whole time... it just seemed like Lando was antsy to do something stupid just glad he didnt take out Oscar... Lando is a good driver he just cant go a whole season without being stupid

and what was the deal with Red Bull protesting George's win? sounds like sour grapes from team Sloth

He definitely is extremely talented.  If he cleaned up his mistakes he would probably have a decent lead on Oscar.

I thought it was odd not seeing him when I looked at photos from the premier.  Such a Max thing to do.

Post on Ferrari's IG about something coming called Ferrari Hypersail.  They will announce what it is on June 25th, but most feel it is an entry in SailGP.  

A lot less feel it might be a partnership with Luna Rossa.  Sort of makes sense since The Americas Cup will be in Naples in 2027.  LR just brought over Peter Burling from the Kiwi's who have won the last 3 AC's while he was there.  But they also just signed a promotional deal with Alfa Romeo.  So that seems a bit unlikely.  Either way, getting into sailing makes a lot of brand sense for Ferrari.

The quest for the latest tech has killed America’s Cup for me.  They aren’t even really sailboats anymore.

I still watch, but I agree. Miss the days where they actually raised and lowered sails.

[Deleterious]

Definitely not Americas Cup.  They made another post saying the newest Ferrari is over 100 feet long.  They are using the AC75's again for the next AC and those are 75 footers.  SailGP boats are even smaller.

[Deleterious]

Meh

I don't understand it to be honest.  They ruled out Americas Cup, and I'm not sure if this is something you would try to sell.  I guess it's brand building.

Carlos is having a year.

[Hongbit]

Strong day from Lando.   Tough one for Max.  31 race point streak is over.

[Deleterious]

Just finishing 31 races in a row is amazing.
