According to the link above, it appears to be a night race. Went to the official website but it's too early to find anything.

Only Mercedes to lead a race this season!!😂😂😂

How simply amazing is this.The skill to be able to change the gears while keeping control of the car. The noise and revs at the start is simply spin tingling… An era sadly well before my time.

And none of the electronic aids they have these days either. Not as fast but not much safety gear to stop injury so pretty dangerous.

Just seen the results from the last Qualifying session. What the hell have McLaren done in the past two weeks to the car. Lando in 4th and Danny R in 7th. What a turn around.

Danny is feeling the love of a nation starved of F1…his mate got a bit too

I know Ferrari said last season they weren’t investing in the car for 21/22 as focusing on 22/23 season. However that’s a dam good car they have put together. As much as having a good car is important they need to sort out strategies and not fail Charles or Sainz on this part.. sure they both have a year on contracts,with Hamilton toiling, who’s to say if they aren’t being brought in for tyres at the  right times one doesn’t hope to Mercedes? Obv replacement for hamilton.

I do think Hamilton hangs around for that 8th crown saying that.

I’ve registered my interest for tickets. 
 

After going to the F1 race in Melbourne about 5 years ago and having the best experience of my life I’m very keen to go to Vegas. 
 

The company I work for is a Ferrari sponsor and it has in the past afforded us some very VIP experiences here in Aus but for Vegas I’d be relegated to average punter but I think it will be a grand spectacle. Plus I have a FWB in Vegas that I haven’t seen for about 5 years who is keen for me to come back and spend some time with her. Win, win

Memories of 2018 and being up close and personal with my beloved Ferrari. I remember spending the day in our massive corporate hospitality box and then having tours of the garage, a once in a lifetime experience.
