Okay, I'll start: was something else supposed to happen at the end there?

And you can watch it for free on YouTube, at least in USA.

There are fresh concerns as to how casino employees will get to work once the Strip is closed so Max Verstappen can win another race in a season where he long ago clinched the championship.

Never has a sentence so succinctly described how I suspect a lot of people feel.

I sure wish I hadn't listened to a preseason stuff, and just thrown a bet on them because I'm a fan. Can't imagine what the odds would have been back then. Especially Lando 4th in driver.

I wonder if either team thought of this (and/or decided it was too risky and/or checked with race control and got an explicit 'no'):

After the formation-but-not-formation lap returning to the pits as everyone else took to the grid, then driving through and completing another lap while the grid was forming up.

IIRC during that lap the graphic said safety car, so I don't see why you couldn't drive through the pits and continue on as you could under a normal safety car.

Quite a good explainer, just found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGNgINohags

Writing a script to demonstrate the difference was very clever.

Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.

I am really curious what the vibe is going to be like there.

I get that it's Vegas, but still: cold, early in the morning. I just wonder how many people will be that into it.

Ugh, I forgot about that. The least inspiring thing ever to have been on TV.

Puts Lando (159) ahead of Charles (151) in drivers championship.
