2019 United States Grand Prix - Austin, 1-3 November

[SiLo]

A circuit that has sections for Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes. I hope it's close but I think Ferrari will take pole but I'd be surprised if they win the race. We've seen you can overtake here.

COTA and Mexico circuit have a lot of similarities. If RB and Max were able to put the best time in Mexico, they are supposed to be strong here as well. At least in terms of chassis side.
On the other side, normal atmo pressure is back, and Merc may unleash more power

they took the pole in Mexico but were 1.2 sec off in COTA

So what? It's 2k19 season, new engine and chassis.

Ioner wanted to point out that obviously COTA and Mexico are not as similar as you say. The logic is there.

Why are the timing slots for this GP are odd?
Race start is at 1PM, which is after the FP1 and before FP2! That means, neither practice session provides ideal temperature of race.
Qualifying is at 4PM, which is the later portion of the FP2 and the Q3 would be in unknown track conditions.

Keep in mind that the clocks will be turned back one hour in the US on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

The Americans turn the clocks back a week later than the UK ?

Lower temperatures should Benefit Mercedes. Anyway I expect another Ferrari pole

it'll definitely be interesting to see how strong Ferrari is in qualifying, or in the other words, if they can return to the massive advantage they had before Mexico.

It looks likely that the "poor" qualifying pace last weekend was down to the altitude - but I wouldn't completely discount the possibility that they changed something, with the protest looming on the horizon.

Yep, we do. When I saw Natalie Pinkham asking for confirmation as to whether the clocks would be turning back this past weekend, I asked myself "Wait, in the UK, they turn the clocks back a week earlier than we do in the States?"

54% of Americans want to see the daylight savings go. It's just a nuisance. It also affects cross geographic businesses.

It's same in Europe. BUT the "normal" time is what we have now and that's the "winter-time". We don't want that because it cuts an hour from our outside days in the summer. We would want the summer time which is not the "normal" time.

Count me in the 54%.

We have it here in AssStraya too, and I hate it, needs to go imo.

WE?? Most Europeans voted for just one time, the winter time, all year round. That is the normal time. They don't want to move the clock. Daylight saving time all year round not at all, because it only starts to get light in the winter at 9.30 am!
Anyway, this is completely off topic.

[marvin78]

I forgot to say that we in Germany and in some other central EU countries would like to be the summer time the only time (which ist nonsens, I know). WE in Europe mostly want to get rid of the change in time. Personally I don't care.

But that is really off topic.
