So, somehow my predictions for Imola were locked for Monaco. Oh, well. But I did enjoy watching the Indy 500...green out of pits and white flag simultaneously. Would have been nice if people could have driven in a straight line while heading to green...twice...but a hometown boy took the win. Meanwhile, here, the Coca-Cola 600 rain out continues...

Indy 500 was madness it always is, I need to get over to see it live one year. We were booked in 2020 but then C happened will discuss with my race partner at Le Mans and get it scheduled in

I haven't been since I was a kid. My father was tight with Danny Ongais, and somewhere in the universe there are pics of me as a nine-year-old sitting in AJ Foyt's car. Being an Italian from Pennsylvania, Mario Andretti was our patron saint and you had to therefore root against AJ. But it was hard, because he was/is such an amazingly kind and generous man.
If you can hook that up, we will join the train...!

I wouldn't mind seeing an Indy and or a NASCAR race just for the event and Noise. A dearly departed friend/work associate used to go out to Vegas to track a Nascar round their bowl...the video sounded awesome.
All round to Dennis' house?

Could make it a two-fer...Indy and then back here to CLT for the 600. If Tony Stewart can do it, so can we!

So after the normal follow the leader in Monaco we are off Barcelona this weekend, not my favourite track but at least now they have removed the chicane we should get some overtaking opportunities.
Normal format event so predictions need to be in before Quali starts on Saturday afternoon

Yup, got mine in. Just looking at the value of my team. Sargent has from for $4m to $2.5m due to his results but Alonso from $9m to $18m. Overall my team now has a value of $93.5m, considering we started off on $75m, thats not a bad ROI!
If only I could cash out...

Got my first take in, looks like they revalued again after Miami - I'm worth $96m now - maybe Papa Stroll will be interested? What's not to like
The overall value increase is about 8% so on average you should be worth 81m

They revalue after each week before Monaco Gasly was 10.5 and Ocon 9.5 now Gasly is 10 and Ocon 11. My team value 94.0

Look how tiny these racing cars seem on the streets of Monaco compared to current F1 barges

It's even noticeable how small F3 & F2 cars compared to the F1 machines, at Melbourne you could easily get 3 or 4 side by side down the straights whereas F1 there is only just room for 2. This would be an area that should be addressed, smaller cars mean less space for technical and aerodynamic trickery which would make the cars more likely to be able to race closer together.
