    Thats insane, the track is good. Long straights with heavy braking zones is overtaking, we are glad that for some reason the current cars like highspeed corners and are able to overtake into high / mediumspeed corners, that wasnt the case in the past. 23 we had so good racing there. Track desgined for insta right? Mhm, only because its a street track in the us. I said it in 2022, its like baku and its gonna be a banger of a race, or a 2016 baku because that happens every couple of times. Because every track can have boring races or bangers. But anyways, im tired of this hate, go and hate on saudis suicide rainbow road. Because that thing could be made for Instagram with there weird skyscraper turn 1. But hating on a track whos perfectly fine and who provided one of the best races on 2023 is crazy

    Great podcasts! So glad I found you guys, very fun!
    .
    Regarding the Las Vegas track...I think y'all are sleeping on this great track. Yes, it is a spectacle, but that's Vegas! It makes sense that Liberty Media, owners of F1, as an American company, would pump up American tracks as much as possible. Just smart fiscal sense for them. As for tickets and such, in case you weren't aware, in 2024 they did add free fan zones that don't require a ticket to get in on the racing experience.
    .
    As for the start time, it was done to appease Europeans, or more specifically for the Brits. I heard they moved the original start time so that Britain and parts of Europe wouldn't have to watch a race at 4am, so supposedly it was moved so they can watch at 6am instead for a nice Sunday morning. This checks out if you buy into the thought that F1 has a British bias.
    .
    Regarding the track design, it was done by Tilke Engineers and Architects, founded by Herman Tikle, a former racing driver. These are the same designers that created the Red Bull Ring, COTA, Singapore's street circuit. I only just started watching y'all, so I don't know how y'all feel about those tracks and how fun they may be to watch for you guys. Why don't you guys actually tell us which tracks you actually like so we can have a better idea where some of y'all get your goofy opinions for outstanding tracks like this amazingly fun to watch new Vegas track.

    As for Andretti racing coming to F1, I heard that the way the wind is blowing on that one is F1 is all for Cadillac coming in, but it seems Andretti has to take a backseat and not be in charge in order for that to happen.
    .
    As for your predictions, I guess none of y'all saw Mercedes coming. It makes sense now that I listen and learn more and more about F1 as a relatively new fan (I am personally much more of a motorcycle racing fan, since I also ride - and nifty side note, Liberty Media, the owners of F1, earlier this year bought top tier racing Moto GP, so I am personally excited to see what they do with it since Liberty has been able to get F1 to some massive global growth). Getting back to Mercedes, in an interview George Russell talked about how the Mercedes cars work well in the cold. So while this Vegas race was a huge victory for Russell, it was a Masterclass from Hamilton! Hamilton knocked it out of the park going from 10th to 2nd, and even at the end he was hunting down Russell, but just ran out of laps. I guess Toto Wolf's comments about him being past his shelf life really lit a fire in him!
    .
    I am now very curious to see what happens next year with Hamilton and Ferrari. Hamilton did state on radio how fast those Ferraris are in the straights, which is what the Vegas track is all about.
    .
    And I am curious to hear what y'all think about the Ferrari team pitcrew and team orders debacle. I can get how LeClerc might be a little butt hurt, but it seems to me Sainz has way more to be annoyed about. I do wonder if the Ferrari crew hadn't screwed up Sainz's pit stop if Sainz might have stayed in front of Hamilton for 2nd, maybe even battle for 1st as it looked to me Russell's pace was dropping off at the end.
    .
    Anyway, Thanx for the fun to listen to podcast! I do think if y'all keep going this podcast can blow up! Thanx again for the content! Good luck to you fellas!
