Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
F1 2017 - Japanese Horror Story Season 3 |OT| Every Sunday on Sky
I was all for Honda and Shame until I saw this.

Hamilton's really trying the "Ferrari are quick, honest" line for like the 3rd year in a row.

For once I hope his and Mercedes completely false humility bites them up the arse.

I would be so happy to see a RBR win, but will take a Ferrari win too this weekend.

So not worth it
The pink Force india apparently has "HYPE" written on its front.
Are they on the Ferrari hype train too?

Clothing brand.

Actually, in this case it's an Energy Drink brand. It's CEO is Bertrand Gachot, former F1 driver, who was jailed for two months once and gave a young Schumacher his first shot at F1.
 
Dreamt that Red Bull (Ricciardo) won the first race with Verstappen knocking Vettel off the road.

...it was raining though, so I'm thinking probably not too accurate. lol
 
For anyone deep pocketed here...

Seems like an amped up version of the Paddock Club.

So not worth it
I will never understand people willing to pay out of the ass for meet and greets. Or people who will pay for a con so they can line up and get an autograph with a Walking Dead extra.

Saw Jos Verstappen around town twice, never even thought about approaching him for a picture or autograph, no interest at all.

Guess I can be glad for it, because you can get a pretty nice TV for the price of a balcony-seat over the F1 paddock.
 
I wouldn't pay for a meet and greet, but I would pay for paddock / track / pit lane access and a faster way of getting to / from the track.

Wouldn't go for those packages simply because I like renting out an entire house and doing it that way rather than going with hotels though.

It was crazy full, the line stretched on for literally a kilometre

Damn, the Toro Rosso livery looks fine. It turns out that designers who spend countless hours on making cans of unhealthy drinks as appealing as possible are also great at making a good car livery.

I can imagine that Coca Cola livery would also look great on a F1 car.
