- The Circuit of the Americas is open to hosting two F1 races this year to fill the void left by the cancellation of the Singapore Grand Prix

that is my favorite GP, even was there in 2013
but understandable. distancing is difficult there

Just put some new pirelli zeroes under my car, abolutely nothing wrong with the tire...

 

[Pleng]

Michelin or Goodyear should come back.....

Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone.... Hell even Wallmart Budget Tyres* would probably manage to do a better job than these jokers.


*I'm assuming Wallmart sell tyres as they seem to sell everything else.

Why is there no "super like" option on this forum?

Was watching qualifying with the BF who hates F1 but he was watching just to be kind to me when he suddenly goes this track reminds me of Pacman. Well he wasn't wrong I guess

 

[AmandaRose]

After a lot of research by myself into the whole tire fiasco two weeks ago I can now confirm it was the fault of Lewis Hamilton's dog Roscoe. Here is the evidence.

Late to the party but I've been trying to cool my anger for the past week.

That Grand Prix was a stark reminder of just how much Pirelli have fucked the sport. It's not as obvious these days as it was in the Pijelly days of ridiculously inept tires but please, F1, can't we say once and for all that this experiment with deliberately degrading tires hasn't worked?!!! I don't see how anybody could have gained any pleasure watching Lewis catch and pass Max. Once he came out of the pits and was going a second a lap faster, two things were obvious:

And here we are with the same story but the cars in reverse.

I honestly ask myself why I still watch F1. She's like that "bad ex" that you know will always disappoint you but you keep going back hoping she might change. She was your first girl; hell she's the only sport you've ever followed... so if you keep persevering then eventually she'll change back to that feisty little mistress you fell in love with all those years ago, right? She'll realize that being a crowd-pleaser just cheapens herself and devalues the beautiful soul that lives deep under the shadow of all the DRS Pirelli mascara that she drenches herself in, in a desperate, and francly pathetic, attempt to feel popular.

Let's look at the first couple of stints of this race... Oh how great it felt to be in something of an renaissance... gladiators fighting each other, maybe not quite lap after lap, as Pirelli have never been able to produce a tyre that can manage anything quite as demanding as that, but we certainly has a teaser of the "good old days", where cars were following closely for at least a few laps at a time, taking occasional breathers to help out the struggling gummy bears that they were wearing around the wheel rims.

But then we got to the super, sexy, exciting moment when Max made a different strategy call. From that point on what we were subjected to was a countdown. It's like trying to run from the bar with your mates one NYE to try and be with your girlfriend as the clock strikes 12.... There's no question that the fireworks will be there when the clock strikes 12... There's no doubt that the revelers will be chugging back their beers and dancing on the sand.... the only question is; do you have enough energy to make it there on time?

Pirelli are the worst thing, outside of tragic accidents, to ever happen to F1. And DRS isn't too far behind.

Remember the 1990s when formula 1 was exciting and we didn't have to worry about the tires. Yep they certainly were goodyears
