    Stoked for this one! My good buddy got married recently and he and his better half are going to Japan for the honeymoon. He's a huge F1 fan and has tickets to the race. I'll post any pics he sends.

    Looking forward to see how RB does without side pods. Seems like a pretty substantial change for the track.

    There was a lot of rumor about their cooling package for Japan and that included no sidepods like Mercedes had tried previously.

    seeing their car in tech inspection and on the pit lane, looks like rumours were unfounded.  They did move/add cooling inlets at the high pressure areas near the back of the cockpit.

    This is all new to me and fascinating.   All the changes between courses: bodywork, aero , suspension, cooling, Sauber wheel nut issues, etc.  wish I had paid years ago.  Your constant yammering on about F1 got me interested, and now I am hooked.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    @Ozzie_Isaac - thanks for the backhanded compliment however, just offering information in a fricitionless role.  But this F1 environment is right in your wheelhouse; the skills (cars and drivers), the constant pushing of the technological envelope, the near term innovation within the rules (voluminous) and minimal fractions of a second outcomes makes it what it is, "cutting edge." 
    As someone once said," with NASCAR the boobs are real and the purses fake; with F1 the boobs are fake and the purses real. " I have never gotten close to either specimen.   B)

    Lol, 100% compliment, but if I didn’t say it snarky, I would tarnish my brand.

    Some good mid pack racing but Verstappen was never really challenged.
    On to China, (First time since 2019) with a sprint race April 18-21.  More on that later.

    All is right with the world.  How Max and RB can put such a drubbing on the rest of the pack is amazing.
