Open Wheel Racing 2021, anyone there to watch?

For you F1 fans, Lego has had several F1 themed sets in the past several years (including a really cool version of Senna's McLaren MP4/4). They have a bunch of F1 themed sets coming out in 2025. I have a few previous versions of some of their F1 sets (Aston Martin, AMG, and McLaren) but these look just a little more detailed than those. I am not super familiar with F1 at all (don't watch or follow) but I will probably get the Ferrari and Redbull ones for sure. Others maybe here and there.

Speaking of Lego, when I was at the Macau Grand Prix Museum, they had a life size Lego model of an F1 car. The thing was spectacular!

(They also had an F1 car, scaled down but still pretty large, made out of chocolate. Seriously.)

Really sad for Michael Andretti: https://youtu.be/SHGVsJFYNug?si=C1FtT3kfx7Myoblv

Well, Max made it a somewhat interesting final race taking out Piastri in the first turn.

Happy Lewis got one final great drive in with the Mercedes. If he hadn't gotten stuck behind Lawson for a few laps he might've even had a podium.

And congrats to McLaren for ending the Red Bull run.

What a disastrous season for Perez. Partly his own undoing in some races and some terrible luck in others.

Oof!!! Evidently the new INDYCAR design for 2027 is so lame the majority of team owners discussed together and told Penske they want something like Adrian Newey would design and pointed specifically to the current RB car.

penske is a dinosaur. I think he needs to step aside and give Zach Brown the reigns. Or at least allow his input to guide some of these decisions.

It wasn’t the current RB car but the Red Bull X2010 prototype.

Not Zach. He needs to focus more on McLaren to get another championship as well as the drivers championship.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification!

Perez out. Presumably Lawson to replace him (not officially announced yet). Then presumably Hadjar to replace Lawson.

If this all happens with the replacements, what's the over/under in number of races before Red Bull swaps Lawson and Tsunoda? :-)

Alex Albon: I am the one who knocks.

To answer my own question, I'm picking nine races, after Spain.

Red Bull announced Lawson.
