Circuit of the Americas once again did not disappoint. Many on and off-track events ensured an amazing race in which Verstappen took the win and Red Bull Racing secured the championship. Hamilton and Leclerc made sure it wasn't easy and completed the podium.

Yes, funny you say that because when you look at a lot of tracks for example Road Atlanta the differences in safety construct are very apparent....primitive almost (descriptive not criticism)Zynerji wrote: ↑22 Oct 2022, 01:49Welcome to the USA!!johnny comelately wrote: ↑22 Oct 2022, 01:34The catch fencing with the posts tops bent in towards the track have sharp penetrating ends !

Good for him to check if they're crash prone as usual ..
Watching US domestic racing on TV it does seem like US tracks are mostly less well maintained than UK tracks. Road America, Laguna Seca look quite scruffy compared to Brands or Donington for instance.Zynerji wrote: ↑22 Oct 2022, 05:44It's worth criticizing, honestly.johnny comelately wrote: ↑22 Oct 2022, 05:20Yes, funny you say that because when you look at a lot of tracks for example Road Atlanta the differences in safety construct are very apparent....primitive almost (descriptive not criticism)
Part of this reveal shows these pressure "tabbings" (narrator) that dtect wing damage affecting performance from vacuum loss
Only Checko with high DF wing. Max with the medium one as he doesn't mind a looser rear-end.AR3-GP wrote: ↑20 Oct 2022, 18:53Not strange. There's virtually no penalty for the larger wing at this track because they will have DRS on both straights in qualifying (which gives a bigger benefit for RB, than the others) and they would have DRS in the race should they need to overtake. The extra load will protect the tires in the twisty bits.
Yes. Top speed for Max in FP1 was 320, Checo 315.dxpetrov wrote: ↑22 Oct 2022, 09:04Only Checko with high DF wing.
