Damn, I knew the Vegas race was starting late but guess i didn't realize THIS late:
Looks like Vegas may end up being the coldest race ever ran by F1.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix Could Be The Coldest F1 Race In History - Jalopnik
For the second year running the Formula 1 race in the desert metropolis of Las Vegas, Nevada is throwing another challenge at the 20 drivers on the grid, the biting cold. As I sit here writing this, it is currently 38 degrees in Las Vegas. The coldest Grand Prix on record was the 1978 Canadian...jalopnik.com
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 Vegas may end up being the coldest race ever ran by F1.

GM is back in talks with joining F1 again it sounds like.
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.![]()
F1 set to approve new team for F1 2026 as General Motors ditch Andretti
General Motors could be granted an F1 spot in a matter of weeks after they dropped Andretti and struck a deal with FOM.www.planetf1.com
Looks like we’re getting the 11th team after all. Think that says a LOT about how Michael went about it.

I was listening to him during FP3 last night and he made it sound like we should know something in a couple weeks. I would think though if you're bringing in Cadillac you announce it in Vegas and not wait until the end of the season.Zak Brown says the GM in F1 announcement is coming soon.
I guess Alpine is actually fast now?
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.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
