Max Verstappen just got his motorcycle license and bought a Harley. Now he wants to test a MotoGP bike, "But they say no chance. They said absolutely no. They think it's too dangerous. So that's it," the Dutchman revealed.
George Rusell, F2 almost-champion and Mercedes junior signed for Williams. Hope the teams gets its crap together, it's sad to see a historic team struggling so much.
Esteban Ocon didn't want to commit for more than a season, so Williams didn't pursue him, and now he'll most likely be test & reserve for Mercedes. I wonder who they'll favor for a factory team seat, him or Rusell?

I know how he feels. I built a model airplane once and United won't let me fly a 747. The Bass Tids!
At the moment, it looks like another wet practice/qualifying and dry race weekend.

Nice to see Max Verstappen win. Hopefully next year with a Honda power unit they will be competitive on more tracks.
Because Mercedes seemed to be slightly off the pace and he made 3 pit stops, Valtteri Bottas was lapped by the leader......and yet Bottas lapped everybody who finished below him.......”the rest of the field” was lapped at least twice by the leader. What a huge difference in performance.
In Miami, where Liberty Media really wants to have a race, the ABC affiliate, channel 10, didn't broadcast this race and last weeks COTA race. They took it upon themselves to preempt them with other programs.
I listened to the Behind the Grid podcast featuring Jackie Stewart as guest yesterday. I know the guy is a legend but he seemed like a [jerk] at moments to me. He even spoke of himself in third person.
