After the great race overall and fantastic drive from Max in Brazil (which apparently wasn't that special due to new engine and half of the overtakes being given to hime by safety car situations), I'm very excited to see how things will play out in Vegas.

I don't think Max will be the WDC there, but I also think Lando won't take maximum points. For me:

1. Lec
2. Sai
3. Nor
4. Pia
5. Ver
6. Rus
7. Per
8. Ham

F'ing Customs IDIOTS!!!!

Tsunoda almost denied US entry for Las Vegas GP:

— Yuki Tsunoda revealed he was nearly denied entry into the United States ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix after being held by border control for several hours.
— Speaking to media, Tsunoda recounted:
“Luckily, they let me in after a couple of discussions. Well, a lot of discussions, actually. But yeah, I nearly got sent back home. Everything is all good, so I’m here now.”
— Despite holding a valid visa and having already raced in the US twice this year (Miami and Austin), Tsunoda described the experience as “strange.”
“It felt a bit strange that I got stopped and had a proper discussion. Luckily, it didn’t go on more than two or three hours. It’s not the first time we’ve come here this year.”
— Tsunoda was travelling without his team, accompanied only by his physio, which made it challenging to clarify his situation. He explained:
“I wanted to call the team or Formula 1, maybe that person could help me, but in that room, you can’t do anything.”
“Can I bring the person I’ve travelled with? Maybe he can help explain more about myself and the situation that I’m a Formula 1 driver. But they didn’t allow that.”
— Tsunoda speculated that his casual attire may have played a role in the confusion:
“Maybe I didn’t look like an F1 driver. I was wearing pyjamas. He [the customs officer] even asked me about my salary and everything.”
— Despite the tense experience, Tsunoda concluded:
“It was an uncomfortable thing; I felt like there was a lot of pressure, and I couldn’t say anything without feeling I’d get into more trouble. Hopefully, all things are solved now.”

Norris admits he "wasn't at the level" to fight Verstappen for title at start of 2024

I mean, no one is at the level to fight Max at the moment, to be fair.
