Waz was talking about Apex gear that the guy in the photo with Lando was wearing.

I'm trying to remember the reasons, and think it's just about when they can close the road down. And it's then better to be coming back after a late Saturday into Sunday over Sunday into Monday.

( I still think it's mad) but, sometimes mad is good in small doses.

It's Saturday night, rather than Sunday, in Vegas because if they did Sunday night then it would be Monday morning for the majority of the world....where the majority of fans lives.

I'm sure I read somewhere as well that they also felt more Americans would watch on a Saturday night.

It is just about the worst possible start time if they want Americans to watch. The race starts at 10 pm on the west coast but at midnight in the central time zone and 1 am for the east coast.

I'm not staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning to watch the race. I'll watch it on my DVR the next morning.

Can't disagree with regards to the time for Americans, I was meaning Saturday vs Sunday.

decent ? Mclaren look in the best shape.. the drivers were not punishing the car like the Ferrari's and Mercs were. Redbull is not even in the picture, that frankenstein rear wing (instead of an actual lowDF wing) is their Achilles heel.

I had only a sporadic view so hard to tell but the car didn't look draggy. They were one of quickest in the last sector so that's good.

I didn't really follow the sessions, because I thought sleeping was a better use of that time

However, RedBull seems really slow. No idea what happened, but even when you consider how conservative they usually run on practice sessions, I don't think the straight line deficit can be fixed with engine modes alone.
