Brr a sensational but dangerous track in SA, thank god Schumacher is ok. Merc still has major problems but they will be alright within a few races I expect.
Formula 1 will go to the United States three times next year. The premier class management has now officially announced a race in Las Vegas. In November 2023, the drivers will drive on and around the world-famous Strip in the gambling city.
As the American F1 audience grows, so does its footprint on the racing calendar. Joining COTA this year will be the brand new Miami Grand Prix. Starting in 2022 the Miami International Autodrome will be home to United States’ second Formula 1 track. The Miami Grand Prix has signed a 10-year deal with F1. The new circuit is being built around Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. The inaugural F1 Miami Grand Prix will take place on May 8th.
They've actually raced at Vegas before, but it was a while back lol
Yep in '81 and '82 it was sponsored by Caesars Palace, constructed in the parking lot of the hotel. This time it will be better a night race and F1 has grown a lot around the world. But I love the history and the wild days of the sport lol.
Check out me in Grand Prix form: http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=668485&Searchpage=1&Main=25160&Words=%2BItalian+%2BGrand+%2BPrix&Search=true#Post668485
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
I picked Verstappen on my pick em on ESPN as bad as I hate to say that. Hate that bastard with a passion!
I hated to see Leclerc spin out trying to chase Perez. His eyes got too big for him and it cost him today. Merc is a freaking joke at this point, it says a lot that Russell has been top 5 in that horrible car in every race now. If people still think he wasn't worth dropping Bottas for then they don't know F1. He's legit
Leclerc spin leaves Perez in pole and Verstappen starting P9 for Miami Grand Prix 36 minutes ago
Sergio Perez took pole position for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix after a dramatic conclusion to Q3, which saw Max Verstappen qualify ninth as Charles Leclerc spun out to bring out a red flag.
The top-10 shootout saw seven teams represented and, while Verstappen had topped the first two qualifying segments, he aborted his first lap with a snap at Turn 5. Conditions were tough in the final session as winds had picked up. Perez took provisional pole in Q3 with a time of 1m 26.841s, but there was still time for Verstappen to try again.
The reigning champion equipped new tyres and emerged with just over three minutes left in an effort to make it up from P10. However, Leclerc lost his car at Turn 4 and spun into the barriers, bringing out a red flag and ending qualifying early.
That left Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso in P2 for the race while Carlos Sainz qualified third for Ferrari and Kevin Magnussen was a surprise fourth for Haas. Alpine’s Pierre Gasly took P5 ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell, leaving Leclerc seventh and Esteban Ocon eighth in the other Alpine.
As for Verstappen he qualified ninth ahead of Valtteri Bottas – neither driver having set a flying lap in Q3.
Looks like Alpha Tauri is no more after this year and will be rebranded. I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t been sold off
"AlphaTauri will have two new leaders with Laurent Mekies and Peter Bayer from 2024. There will be new sponsors and a new name. The focus is clear. The team must work more closely with Red Bull Racing, as far as the regulations allow. We are not going to more with do-it-yourself constructions going on."

No idea if it stays an Italian team.
Yea I’d be highly surprised if they moved base to be honest. I think this is just a rebrand to stay afloat and become a true sister team as RBR wants to share parts and everything like Ferrari/Haas are doing and the like. I think Andretti is going to kick himself for letting his deal fall through with Sauber because things like this show nobody is going to sell now. This team is worth too much for RBR to even sell

Michael Andretti hopes to know more about the future of his potential Formula 1 team by mid-July. According to Andretti, the link with Cadillac is much more than a sponsorship deal. Cadillac will build its own F1 engine very interesting! The plans of Audi are also interesting hopefully both manufacturers will join F1.

Audi is already in remember? They bought Sauber and will become Audi in 2026
I agree. The point in the Andretti-Cadillac case is the drop in prize money. Under the current Concorde Agreement, newcomers must pay a registration fee of USD 200 million to compensate for this loss. Some teams would like to push this amount up to 600 million dollars. Although Cadillac's entry is still a question mark, it is certain that another American brand will enter F1 in 2026. Red Bull would start with Ford in that year, with Ford largely responsible for the electrical side of the 2026 power unit.
