I Cannot Imagine The Position The Teams And Drivers Are In And Would Never Want To Be In. (This Is Just

I cannot imagine the position the teams and drivers are in and would never want to be in. (This is just my take on it and apologies for the long rant) I don’t hate the drivers for them ultimately deciding to agree to race. I honestly don’t. This is a “damned if they do, damned if they don’t” situation. They run the massive risk of not being able to leave the country if they speak out. Yes, these are rich athletes, but think about their teams, their engineers, etc. It’s possible these people could have an even more difficult time trying to leave. They need to think about the teams as an entirety here and even if they did want to speak fight for their message, the risk greatly outweighs them. There aren’t going to be army forces rushing in to save them from god knows what they could be subjected to at the split second this happens. If recent events have taught us anything, there would be a great number of casualties before something even happens to try to get these people out. I just hope and pray for the utmost safety of the drivers and their teams and that this finally wakes up the FIA to do something and cancel this godforsaken Grand Prix and make sure it doesn’t see the light of day ever.

People should stop blaming the drivers for deciding to race. First, they didn't hold out for 4 fucking hours just for the funsies. Clearly they didn't want to race. And second, I too would drive around that dangerous as fuck circuit in the middle of a warzone if I was threatened with the possibility of never leaving the country if I didn't do as told.

"Don't You Need Somebody" by RedOne ft. Enrique Iglesias, R. City, Shaggy & Serayah

Rafa joined other celebs and athletes for the music video, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Jennifer Lopez, and many others. It was basically just them lip-syncing and dancing to the song. When Rafa was forced to retire last year due to Tendinitis, he danced to this song again when he was on his yacht with his friends. DOESN'T HE LOOK SO ADORABLE 😍🇪🇸❤️

Agreed 100%. Yes it’s Lewis’ home race...but from an ethical and moral stand point, could this even be considered a win in his heart? I wouldn’t if it were me IMHO but that’s just me

I am just full of mixed feelings:

- Happy for Lewis and just in awe of his race - kinda sad for Charles because he fully deserved to win as well considering how he drove with the motor issues - devastated for Max and just hoping he’s okay - ecstatic for Daniel for being able to hold P5 even when Carlos was within a second the entire race -  wondering what could’ve been for Lando if the pitstop had been okay.

Couldn’t have said it better myself 👏🏻. We Asian F1 fans experience the same almost for all the races, heck the races in the US alone is at 1 AM in my time zone, but with Vegas being a night race, it’s gonna be one happy Sunday morning whilst I watch the race 😇☀️

My 2 cents on the Vegas GP bc I can't sleep:

- I don't really have an issue with 3 races in the US. The US, as a country with a rich motor racing heritage, hosts a myriad of historical racetracks of high standards. But instead of making use of those readymade circuits, we have a track that is aspiring to give Daytona a run for its money on bumpiness, a stadium parking lot, and a street circuit. The opening of the US market is a wonderful opportunity to introduce the wider world to the beauty of American circuits and the quality racing they are capable of producing, not tourist postcard attractions with labeled corners.

- This may be total nonsense, but the words of the governor are giving me the vibe that he wants Vegas GP to be the new Monaco GP (in terms of glamour and prestige). First of all, Monaco isn't the most fitting track for current cars, so the racing isn't that great, but that's not the point. The point is that, with Monaco ceasing to be a standalone event this season and Vegas coming onto the calendar next season, I'm sensing perhaps Vegas will be (or attempt to be) on par with Monaco in terms of special events. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope Vegas doesn't become like Monaco, where what happens outside of the race is of more substance than what happens on race day. Nowhere else has Monaco's racing heritage to be able to pull it off.

- I think I would be delusional to believe historic European tracks won't be cut from the calendar. In fact, I would rather prefer it over 30 races, although it is not unlikely to have 30 races and less European circuits in a few years time. The removal of motor racing history and heritage from the calendar is sad to watch.

- A bit of tangential observation: Europe (FIA WEC) and America (IMSA) spent years working out a cohesive regulation (LMH and LMDH) to make racing more accessible across the pond. Phenomena like this represent the trend of motor racing becoming more global (especially across the Atlantic), with a key emphasis on the quality and cultural heritage of motor racing (shown in the endurance case: WEC constructors want to race in Daytona/Sebring, IMSA constructors want to race in Le Mans). It shows sacrificing racing heritage like historic circuits is not necessary for attracting new crowds; in fact, one may argue that these historic circuits are drawing said new crowd in.

- Going back to F1 and motorsports. The way to create and maintain viewership is through superb racing and professional race control on high quality circuits. Drive to Survive is all fun and games until the newly-inducted realise the lies and cracks in a gimmicky show. F1 shouldn't aspire to be widely publicised and widely ridiculed as a Netflix show.

- That said, Vegas can end up a great track and if it does so I'd happily eat my words.

- I know some Europeans care about time zone, but it's something most of us non-Europeans had to deal with for most of the season. Just as I don't believe F1 should specifically accommodate American viewers, they are not obligated to go out of their way to accommodate European viewers either. It is one weekend, and no one is putting a knife on your throat to watch it live.

Also idk what makes me angrier: the way Lewis celebrated this win, or the way the fans disgustingly cheered louder as Max was hit and crashed

I am just full of mixed feelings:

- Happy for Lewis and just in awe of his race - kinda sad for Charles because he fully deserved to win as well considering how he drove with the motor issues - devastated for Max and just hoping he’s okay - ecstatic for Daniel for being able to hold P5 even when Carlos was within a second the entire race -  wondering what could’ve been for Lando if the pitstop had been okay.

Every video of Rafa that was released today now makes me so much more disappointed.

First off, I really need to get this off my chest because it’s been bugging me for the longest time.

Every Video Of Rafa That Was Released Today Now Makes Me So Much More Disappointed.

I really can’t believe that there are people who would accuse Rafa of retiring because “he is a sore loser and knew he would be demolished by Del Potro.”

I, personally, felt that there was definitely something wrong with him at the beginning of the match. It broke my heart more to see him call a medical time out and have his knee strapped once more. Yet, Rafa still continued to play to show respect to his opponent.

Look at what happened last year: after winning the US Open, he participated in Laver Cup less than 2 weeks later, and played the most matches for team Europe. Almost another 2 weeks later, he played and won in Beijing, then played in Shanghai and lost to Roger in the final. Almost another 2 weeks later (I think), he played in Paris, only to pull out in the second round I think and it was quite obvious that he was limping. Finally, the ATP World Tour Finals. Rafa lost in the 1st Round Robin, with his limp clearer than daylight.

I mean, don’t you think Rafa does not want to repeat his mistakes last year, especially when he has been talking more on wanting to play longer? I get it with Roger. It was difficult for him to move because the conditions were more difficult that anyone else expected (like Novak nearly suffering from a heatstroke again). With Rafa, he already played 2 grueling matches that everyone thought would be easy for him. Then the epic almost 5 hour match against Thiem. It definitely would take a massive toll on me as well.

Sorry for the long rant. I just REALLY had to get this off my chest. I’m just praying Rafa has a speedy and successful recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. If there’s anything Rafael Nadal does best, he bounces back no matter what 💪🏻. ¡VAMOS, MI CAMPEÓN! 🇪🇸🎾🔥
