Kvyat was 'kicked out' of Austin paddock after Marko meeting
Well that's p shitty...
I don't even think Ferrari at the height of his dickishness would have been that much of a dick.

The full report, which was seen by F1 Hub, said: “According to some foreign journos [journalists] Marko already decided before the GP in Austin that Dany [Daniil Kvyat] would have no longer run with Toro Rosso. Nothing was told to Dany until right after the race.
“After finishing the race, Dany gave his statement to the media and was called to Marko’s office and was told then that his career with Toro Rosso and Formula 1 was going to end there. “He was also told to leave the paddock asap [as soon as possible], to the point that Dany didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to his team or anybody else. He was borderline kicked out.”

Hamilton completed a run of 28 laps on the ultra-softs after his performance run. His pace at the end of it was [not falling off] putting in a 1m21.646s on his final quick lap. That means degradation is non-existent.
It will be the physical wear that will dictate how long the ultra-softs can last rather than thermal degradation. This also means it's a nailed-on one-stop race, with the main interest the relatively small gap between the super-soft and soft compounds, which Pirelli puts at 0.6s.

If I were Fred and the gang at McLaren I would do my Q2 lap on SS, run them for the first few laps and then pit for new US and run the whole race on them. Not sure it wood work, but worth a shot. Wonder if US could physically go 65-70 laps.

For reason(s) why I don't like Will Buxton, go to 27:30 on that video. He gets a bit too excited, is wrong, then tries to blame anything/anyone on why its not perfectly clear to him.
BUT IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR YOU ****.
I can respect and applaud his enthusiasm. I do actually. But yea, he needs to bring it back juuuuuuust a touch.

Bernie just shitting on his ex cause they're happy without him.
While I don't think he's lying, it speaks worse for him and Max/FIA than it does for Ferrari IMO. Bernie was always a cheat, is still a cheat, and the sport is better without him.

I asked bout T1 because of that damn shadow. I am curious if it was really a bird or did the FIA /Liberty use CGI for it. Seems p stupid to put a CGI bird shadow on the track but I won't put it past 'em.

That's what I thought the tweet they sent out meant too but I still see people claiming it was real, including some of my friends I watch F1 with. They argue the tweet doesn't necessarily mean it was fake. I told 'em they were daft but they refuse to listen. I figured if there was an eyewitness they'd have to face reality.
