Worst case scenario (10% chance): Showers with lightning are numerous through the entire afternoon, and the race is moved to Monday.
Most likely scenario (60% chance): Scattered showers on/off until around 3 PM, delaying the race for a few hours, but can run most of it.
Alexander Rossi back on X, taking shots from his friends and laughing along after a monster shunt in practice and a visit to the hospital. Ready and raring to go 230mph+ again Friday. Indy 500 drivers are a different breed.
Unreal effort from @SchumacherMick today. You cannot underestimate the pressure. First on track. First oval qualifying ever. Second weekend in a car he doesn’t yet know. P4 on oval debut. Truly astonishing.
I won't speculate on what's going on, but just generally say that this sport of ours that we love is very very demanding of all involved. Knowing people who work across various teams, this isn't a normal 8-5 job. It has it's upsides and it has it's downsides. It's one reason that I always advocate for respect up and down the grid for those involved in bringing us this sport we love. It takes a lot of sacrifice from the people to make the sport go.
It's easy to sit behind a screen at a computer and shout when things aren't going right. And demand that heads roll when performance isn't up to our standards as fans. But the truth is that the commitment, both personally and professionally, at least deserves our respect. I need to check myself as well from time to time on this. No one is perfect. Sometimes our fandom can get the best of us.
To everyone who works in F1, THANK YOU. Even FOM and the FIA. 😉. Your hard work and commitment allows us to enjoy this sport. I pray that everyone finds some moments of rest somewhere in the busy winter schedule to reflect on all the amazing accomplishments over this season. I pray for your personal lives, that they are restored and redeemed when things may be tough at the moment. Thank you for all you do. I APPRECIATE YOU!
@frmtheprecipice Some drivers prefer not to have family there - I think Rosberg said he asked his parents not to come in 2016 bc he didn’t want the additional pressure
My boyfriend is amazing at impressions, one drunken evening I got him to do impressions while going down on me, embarrassed to say I climaxed to Mr Bean. 100% will do it again but maybe an impression of someone else next time.
