Heineken to be an official sponsor and also wants to link up with a team. I want to see a Heineken themed car. The grid needs more color.

Not sure what happened but they have pulled the article. Don't know if that means something has fallen through on the deal. It is reportedly 5years and $150 million. The first sponsored race is supposed to be this years Canadian GP.
Here is another site that has an article on it.

Hmm. For some reason, I thought this was a candidate for future years. Guess I missed that it was real for this year.
Ah, now I remember, this is the race that conflicts with the 24h of LeMans.
Hmm, a processional race, or an epic battle... What to watch???

Hahaa! Yea, it should be a nice GP but there. Is. No. Other. - LM24 is where it's at!
It's funny b/c my daughters still get puzzled waking up & seeing me in 'yesterday's clothing' & still watching tv in the a.m. lol
I did take them to the Rolex 24 @ Daytona this year (their 2nd race, FormulaE being their first [my 21st in a row]) so they're slowly diggin' it. w0000000000000t

Right!? I was surprised as to how much they enjoyed it. They're already talking about next year!
Sweeet! Mine are 9 and 6. I've taken them karting & they dig it. As much as I want them into it .... I won't be able to afford it! lol

So, apparently the writing was on the wall before the Russian GP for Kvyat to lose his seat at RBR. Check this out:
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said last week that the move was done to give Verstappen a new opportunity, and allow Kvyat to continue his development at feeder team Toro Rosso, where he will have "a chance to regain his form and show his potential."
The switch came just a few days after the Russian GP, where Kvyat was loudly criticized after twice hitting Sebastian Vettel from behind on the first lap. Vettel complained to Horner, but on Thursday he said he didn't think the accident played a significant role in Red Bull's decision, which he was told had already been made before the race.

Yeah, this "old style" qual format is horrible. I wish F1 would change it up to something more exciting.
Wow. I wonder how many people will still be bad-mouthing the decision to move Max V. up into the Red Bull. That kid has definitely got something special.
It'll be fantastic to see how he does over the years.

Lauda's putting blame on Hamilton
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...-f1-spanish-gp
Wolf in his interview during the race did not assign blame
I give majority blame on Hamilton, he had more speed but was behind and got chopped off by Rosberg who made a double blocking maneuver from turn 3 to 4.

These knuckleheads co-self-destructing would amuse me to no end if I hadn't picked them for driver/team in this week's pool.
It seems to me that the Merc bosses need to lock those two in a room full of improvised melee weapons and let them sort things out.
And I have a feeling Lewis is going to existentially explode again. Maybe make another rap album and start acting like a prima donna once more.
