https://instagram.com/p/CytCPPzMu9p You can watch the final race on YouTube or on F1TV. Marta Garcia of the Prema Racing Team becomes the series first champion. She dominated the season with 7 wins and 5 pole positions. Woo woo wooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can finally watch F1 Academy the all female grid on F1 TV praise be! Reminder F1 academy is not the W Series as they race on the F4 spec. Hope there’s an opportunity for the some of the drivers to enter in IndyNXT and Indy feeder series as there are female drivers from those series who are actively competing.
- it’s Round 19 - I’m tired but COTA is a great track. And y’all are blessed as IndyCar commentator James Hinchcliffe graces is with his presence
- The Red Bull livery is already pretty busy but this weekend it’s --
via GIPHY - Surprise Hulkenberg tops Q1 including Verstappen and Leclerc. Hulk is a great qualifier it’s just that it rarely converts
- Both Ferraris pull out great out laps topping the session
- Verstappen encounters traffic with less than 3 minutes in the session as RB sent him out too early but of course he tops the session but STOP THE CAP - Come on Big Ham! Follows Norris pushing Max out of P1. Disclosure: I’m a Lando Norris apologist
- Oh he’s back?
- Eliminated: STR, ALO, ALB, SAR, HUL
- Starting Q2 Norris gets his time deleted and I'm making voodoo dolls of the stewards
- Yuki may have impeded Sainz’s lap
- Of the midfield Alpine makes a good showing and Perez finally makes a Q3 Jesus Jerome Christ
- Eliminated Q2: TSU, ZHO, BOT, MAG, RIC
- STEWARDS SAID STOP THE CAP-MAX GETS TRACK TIMES DELETED!!!!!!!!
- Chuck E. Clair please don’t fucking bin it tomorrow 🙏🏾
Sprint Shootout or should I say Snooze-out?
- Will say shouts out the production team for this circuit because promo and recaps were kinda banging
- Charles has the most pole positions without a WDC and oof!
- S1 remember all must start on mediums and they must end S3 on soft tires
Russell is getting all the radio feeds! Hey, George put it back that station was playing “Hey Ya!” He impedes Sharl’s lap but he couldn’t move because Toxic just came on
- Eliminated: HUL, MAG, BOT, TSU, SAR
- Max goes wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee as he spins
- Eliminated: ALO, OCO, STR, ZHO, RIC
- Stroll’s???? AM has the weirdest fucking lockup I've ever done seent
- Umm overall still boring
Umm the Sprint
- George likes to overtake using track limits and he gets a penalty though it wasn't that harsh especially for a Mere
- Even Max doesn’t like these sprint races and he’s right saying that sprints already give a solid indicator of Sunday's race instead of being surprised
