Race was live at 0300 EST. I didn't bother. Kind of glad I slept in. After all the bad luck Max has had, nice to see him win. Sounds like the same old race stuff though. Leader runs away and from there it's follow the leader. Sounds like Lewis wasn't interested in racing if he wasn't in the lead.
Got a tip for us?

The Circuit organizer's were meeting with Liberty Media over the weekend about a possible extension so it may not yet be over.
Yeah, that one was purely on Seb IMO. Just not paying attention.
He was complaining early on about the discharge rate of his MGU-K so I am guessing he just couldn't effectively employ it for holding Verstappen off and then catching him up.
Yyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Mmmmaaaaaaxxxxxxxx!!!!!
At long last he wins a race! And very comfortably too, these new Mercedes and Ferrari power plants are’nt very good it seems..
Vettel’s incident at the end was more Strolls fault when looked from behind, but Karma and all that.
Yeah after Ferrari’s dismal attempts to turn F1 into a demolition derby event at the last race and then blame Max for it all, they got what they deserved today.

Perfectly summed up! Whilst it's definantly an improvement over wondering which of the Mercedes might finish in 2nd place, we're still not seeing any genuine on track motor racing. Baring rain and safety cars, it's pretty much decided in qualifying and the first lap, with most of the overtaking in the race through DRS.
Better than 2015-16, but only just!

Ran out of rubber.
Sorry to see the track go tbh. It's one where at least passing is possible.
wait.... live? Malaysia was 8 am live?
[doublepost=1507032961][/doublepost]I was on the road Sunday morning anyway so I missed it if it started at 6:00 my time...
Yup. Programs started at 7 (which I watched with a cup of tea in bed) then race at 8. Very civilised!
That's how I am most of the time. F1 at 9-10 AM live or recorded. Then I get on with the rest of my day.
Being in Europe most races are midday which eats into your weekend.
In fact Mrs AFB was miffed to here that Japan is this weekend as it's back to back races.
Haha I’m loving it personally.. but yeah I can understand your missus complaining.. still I’m sure she watches loads of telly????
So I’ll be getting my bag of pistachio nuts and my 4 pack of larger for the race.. I find these help with the disappointment or celebration of Max hahahaha...
Just a weekend wind down treat for me really.
I se Hamilton is considering taking a knee during the national anthem at the American Grand Prix.....
Not sure it needs any more politics in the sport! But his choice I guess.
Still let’s see if he gets on the podium, and if Ferrari stuff it up again. I can’t even remember the last time a Ferrari was taken off the grid before the start permanently because of a fault?

Not sure what a foreign national doing it means to the Movement, but hey, everyone needs a hobby.
A Lewis win and anything other than 2nd for Vettel and I think it's pretty much done for the year.
However with new engine parts for the Ferrari's and the resurgence of RBR, means it's anything other than straightforward.
Rain is a strong possibility to.

FP2 was completely washed out due to rain. FP1 was in the dry and it was Vettel | Hamilton | Ricciardo.
Yup (based on their general skill in the wet).
As for FP2, only Lewis went out, along with the two Force India and Williams drivers and they were all back in. Everyone else did at best an Installation Lap and came right back into the garage. On the flip side, those five only did 3-4 laps so not like they learned anything if FP3 is dry and the race is wet.
It's been over for a while now...
Rain in Texas is different from rain anywhere else...
I’ll be in Austin this year! Cheering hard for Vettel this weekend and a Hamilton DNF so we can have an exciting finish.
Ok, no offense, but one of you said you were going to US GP and that made me think they were racing here in the states. So whomever that was I'm a little miffed at you right now. I didn't watch qualifying early this morning because I thought it would be on later... dammit.
