Looks like Vegas may end up being the coldest race ever ran by F1.

Tire choice will be key. Hopefully they bolt down all the manholes this year and Carlos don't almost die by manhole cover

Not sure where this article is getting their forecast from. Weather Underground and National Weather Service both have it forecasted for a good bit warmer.

Looks like we’re getting the 11th team after all. Think that says a LOT about how Michael went about it.
I think it had less to do with Andretti’s approach and more about Greg Maffei not liking him personally. Maffei leaving Liberty Media is what opened the door. And it wouldn’t surprise me to see Andretti be named team principal once all things are finalized with F1. Andretti stepping aside was a big help too, but once they are in, there is no way F1 could say they can’t rehire Andretti. He is still part of the company, he’s just not the figure head.

Yeah Michael will be back as the leader as soon as everything is signed .

Hopefully they also give points down to P12 now with two more cars. Give the midfield a couple more spots to race for. Never made sense to me to stop at p10. Basically most the cars can give a crap about racing a few laps in when they know they can’t score a point. In all honesty I wish they gave points down to p16.

If Red Bull had patience they would still have Gasley in Checo’s car and might be leading constructors right now. They only gave him like 7 races or something stupid
If Red Bull keeps Checo my guess is Checo brings in way more than the difference in prize money between 1st and wherever Red Bull finishes, and they get more wind tunnel time. They're not just going to keep him around because they think he's a nice guy.
