My guess: Not very well. I always have to laugh when the talk about the 'scorching' 80-85 temps at Austria or the 'incredible' Singapore heat There isn't enough SPF in Austin for me to sit out at COTA for an August race weekend. haha

September 25, 20205 yr Author FYI for those interested, the "Fernando" docuseries dropped today on Prime Video. Apparently a second season has already been ordered...

September 25, 20205 yr Author Man, I could really do with a lot less Karun mic time in these broadcasts. Dude's an idiot ... and please, enough with the references to 80 F temps as 'hot'.

(what are we, dear?) Texan, and fiercely proud of it!
September 26, 20205 yr Got us a little qualifying drama this morning.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
September 26, 20205 yr its kinda weird that the steering wheels for each team is so different. theres no competitive advantge to the different wheel designs - its just a controller device - so you'd figure they'll all just get the same wheel from the same designer/supplier. anyway, wiliams' wheel look the cleanest

September 27, 20205 yr Terrible start for some of these guys. Sainz will be pissed at himself for a long time at this one. Stroll out to, got smacked from behind.
September 27, 20205 yr Hamilton served 10-second penalty and comes out in 11th. Put on hard tires so will try to go to end of the race.
September 27, 20205 yr Bottas is 36 seconds in front of Hamilton. Bottas has yet to pit. 18 of 53 laps complete
September 27, 20205 yr I've got a ham steak on the grill/smoker, some french bread warming on said smoker, a pot of grits and will fry an egg.
September 27, 20205 yr Vettel having a decent day, but, still has to pit. Oh wait, he has been to the pit. Edited September 27, 20205 yr by PittsburghTiger
September 27, 20205 yr Perez with a nice 4th, Danny Ric 5th, and LeClerc in 6th. Great job for Bottas.
September 27, 20205 yr I am starting to think Leclerc might be immune to penalties. Monza 2019, Japan 2019, the seatbelt incident in Spain this year (not sure how literally nothing, not even a reprimand, even happened for that), and today. Albon got a penalty for a much more marginal incident a few races ago on lap 1, and the incident today wasn’t even investigated. Meanwhile, Lewis keeps getting penalties for goofy stuff (even if they are deserved). Plus, Masi makes this huge issue about the bollards and penalizes if you barely go over the kerb and don’t exit via the bollard, but then nothing happens when drivers cause collisions. Just seems to be zero consistency. That’s all I want; some consistency!
September 27, 20205 yr Also, pretty big incident in the F2 sprint race today: https://streamable.com/ll90m0They did not restart and half points were given. Mick finished 3rd. I am not a Michael Schumacher fan whatsoever, but I can’t seem to not root for Mick.

September 27, 20205 yr Weather the next two weeks at the Nürburgring will be wet and chilly. Not getting out of the 50s with plenty of rain. I jokingly sent a message to the German Cousin asking if they have some snow tires for F1 cars.
