Definately a bummer. But hey, THE team is coming and should be a good one between Lewis and Nico

COME ON...no one else coming to the US Formula 1 races??

Challenger Deep · 30 October 2014, 04:02 AM

I'll be going. General Admission offers some of the best picture spots available. Next year though, a nice grandstand seat i will get. Hopefully, 2017 i will fly down to Mexico City for the GP there. Family in Curnevaca, so it's looking good.

Turn 19 is good. I like T15 seats and that complex. My best pictures are from T1 in the grass and right next to the tower on the grass.

T15 is better viewing for sure, but T19 'Trackside Hospitality' has drinks and food flowing all day

Got invite to Martini Racing party and Paddock Club suite also...will for sure take Massa RM11

Can't wait to start snapping some pics!!

Have a blast in Austin James!

texex91 · 31 October 2014, 09:09 AM

Wanted pic with Lewis...invited to private party with Martini Racing and will meet Bottas and Massa on Sat--will get autographs then. Will be fun, and yes pics hopefully...having a GREAT weekend so far

Bruin Watch · 31 October 2014, 10:12 AM

Sweet! Looks like you have a fun weekend ahead of you as well!!!

lavaman · 31 October 2014, 10:14 AM

It's silly really. Just boys with toys, going around in circles. But for those of us who have followed the sport our entire lives, it is more. It is a passion, a gathering, a release, an anticipation, a celebration. Of life. Of joy. Of brilliance. Brilliance of engineering, brilliance of determination. And yes, sometimes, it is a celebration of a life taken too soon. I saw Senna drive in '84. I wept when he died a decade later. For years I couldn't watch again. But I came back. Sunday I will listen to the roar again. I will scream for my fellow Spaniard. I will pray for the safety of everyone, and laugh with strangers that are friends, if only for a few hours. F1 is one of the greatest spectacles in sport. And now it takes place in my back yard, in a city I dearly love for all that it gives me. I hope each of you get to come.

Witness.

Wish I was there. Everyone have a great time.

texex91 · 1 November 2014, 09:52 PM

Weather was amazing yesterday. Headed out early this morning and will spend more time on shots. Cheers!!

The Joker · 2 November 2014, 03:42 AM

Getting ready for qualifying, go Lewis.

Talk of the smaller teams boycotting the race tomorrow due to money. The US race doesn't need another debacle.

I just hope the double points in the final race is not what decides the championship. I hate it when Bernie comes up with these artificial rules to spice up the championship.
