Formula 1 2026 - United States Grand Prix

Delayed, because I had notes, but forgot to post them. 

First, a complaint. I have no idea who US TV have doing the interviews, but I think Mercedes nailing the new regulations has more to do with Antonelli's results than any mindset change from Kimi from last year to this. 

I would also like to have a word with whichever arranger stuffed up the poor lady singing the anthem. There is no key change there, sir. 

On to the race itself: 

Ferrari, how dare you have the worst engine. There are traditions! Ours is strong engines. Occasionally exploding engines, but strong, powerful engines. 

Ferrari tried clever things with strategy. This worries me more than when Red Bull do it. 

If Russell didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck. 

Did Red Bull not tell Hadjar that he is race driver number 2? (I believe this is the usual time for the traditional song from Muppets: Most Wanted - I'm Number One and You're Number 2) 

I would like to thank Leclerc for bringing some racing! Normally COTA brings much more entertainment than this race did. (Also, yes BBC radio, the Ferrari fans are numerous enough to be heard :) )
