    Celebrity flag waver standing there looks like he’s being forced to go wave that flag by his mom.

      Alpine is being weird with two drivers willing to fight eachother is entertainment.

    Anyone else furiously drinking coffee to watch a race that should’ve been convenient but for some reason isn’t?

      Nope, it’s a very convenient Sunday afternoon race for us Aussies, doesn’t happen often.

      Still not sure what they were thinking with the schedule. It’s crazy that it’s more convenient to watch the races live that are on the other side of the world than one a single time zone away. I’m just planning on starting the replay tomorrow morning. Don’t have the stamina to stay up that late anymore!

      The explanation that I saw was that Europeans will be able to wake up and have a cup of coffee with the race. Apparently there are more fans there.

        The explanation I saw was that the timing was adjusted to traffic needs on the strip.

      You’re also American I take it? I’m about to go to Wally’s and grab a slushee and an energy drink just in case I need em. It’s starting midnight my time so not bad but if the ending goes to 3 that’s when I’ll need some caféine.

      Just waking up and getting ready to install myself in front of the tv. I do feel sympathy for you US fans, but I must admit I like these morning races.

    This is Charles Leclerc big opportunity to convert a pole into a win. I truly hope he makes it. The guys needs it (and deserves it) after a mostly forgettable year (save for the poles achived).

    I also hope this is an entertaining race, and we see a lot of good racing from people in the mid-field or out of position. C’mon Las Vegas! Surprise us in a good way!

    Leclerc will burn his tires, and perez will get him for the 2nd.

    If the tires fall off too much, he might get got by piastri as well

    Edit: piastri seems to be falling off, so it’s probable lec could keep the 3rd

    I have no clue who I’d vote for as DOTD. Great work for Perez, but it’s more a return to form from bad form than above and beyond IMO.

    Also, poor Charles, he keeps making mistakes like this.
