An evening race for us Europeans!
Fantastic track completed in 2012, wonderful technical sector one (like maggots/becketts or even the Suzuka ‘s’ wind direction will be key here for qualifying). High speed sector 2 and a Hockenheim style sector 3.
Plenty of challenge for the drivers.
Lewis Hamilton has won here 5/6 yrs and if he wins here it will be 5 wins in a row at COTA, equaling Sennas 5 in a row at Monaco.
With concerts from Bruno Mars and Britney Spears, this should be a great weekend for anyone attending!
Enjoy!

Thanks for posting.
Glad it’s live on free-to-air TV.
If it’s a normal race, it’s hard to see the win going to anyone but Hamilton. In the past we have seen him wobble at the point of closing the title, but I can’t see that happening this year.
Penultimate as they say for free to air UK TV (apart from GB GP for 2019)...Abu Dhabi then what we are willing to pay for..Glad it’s live on free-to-air TV.

Why is qualifying so late compared to the race?
The race is much earlier than would normally be expected for a race in the Americas. They’ve obviously moved it to Sunday Lunchtime for us Europeans.Quli, no idea? Any other big sporting events on stateside this weekend?
Indeed it was Moose , say what you want but value for money wise it's certainly good entertainment . Used to think the Yanks were OTT but nowadays we enjoy the spectacle for what it is , great fun . Obviously less reserved after years living in Canada saying sorry multiple times a day

Yep - I always chuckle to myself walking around the grocery store when I say "oh, I'm sorry" when I get in people's way...or more funnily when they get in mine! fttm said:
Its America and it's called putting on a show , whole weekend will be a great event . Go Lewis
So why couldn't they get the Black Crowes, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi or the FooFighters - they're all American IIRC!Still I'm hoping Lewis can get the job done - he does seem to do pretty well there.
