Re: The Official Formula 1 2017 Season Thread
September will be a busy month for me. Maybe I will get a glimpse of life on the road like how a racecar driver experiences. Going to San Diego this weekend for SeaWorld and a wedding. Then go to Road America that week for the Type-R/NSX Expo and Realtime Racing Collection Hall. Then fly out the next weekend to go back to Vegas for a bachelor party. The following weekend I then go to Sonoma for the IndyCar race. Weekend after that I go to Portland for another bachelor party. Final week of September I'll be in Canada for another wedding.

Alonso was linked with Williams, but sources suggest there is little chance of that happening, while a move back to Renault - where he raced from 2003-06 and again in 2008-09 - is unlikely, too, with its managing director Cyril Abiteboul saying his team would not be ready to meet Alonso's expectations in 2018 and doesn't want to risk 'frustrating' him.
Alonso says he'll make his decision in the next month. At this stage, it looks like it will be McLaren - alongside Stoffel Vandoorne who was confirmed for 2018 ahead of Spa - or nothing. It is possible he could do a year in IndyCar, particularly as there is potentially a seat open at his Indianapolis 500 squad Andretti Autosport, and then return to F1 in '19. Or he can stay for next year and see how things go before deciding on his next step. By then Renault may have a car that it feels meets Alonso's expectations.

You'll have to register for ITR Expo. If you're not going to drive on the track then a guest registration is $50. This also lets you in for the ITR Expo track event on Wed/Thur as well as the banquet. Your ticket also acts as a raffle ticket. I won a Mugen iPhone 5 case at the 2013 ITR Expo.

Re: The Official Formula 1 2017 Season Thread
so is ferrari introducing a new engine for monza, but one that has to adhere to the new tighter oil burn regs?
but merc introduced their new engine at spa which will allow them the higher burn rate?
