    He was a little uneasy at first but I can be a little animated with folks.....lol! I asked him how he thought the Miami 1st race was. He actually thought it was not very exciting until after the yellow flag. I told him I disagreed as we had a lot of high speeds and close calls in our area. But, I also said it takes a lot for a driver like yourself to get fired up........but, us regular folks tend to think that it is amazing to run a car like a mad man for 57 laps. I inquired about him securing a seat with a high end team and also that Porcha and Audi look like they are coming into the sport within the next two years. He smiled politely but did not say anything beyond that , as obviously Aston Martin has him in a reserve role right now.
    I told him that COTA is another sellout for 2022 and that TEXAS is ready to see him push the limits. He noted that Texas has really gotten BIG into F1 and the attendance was amazing last year. I mentioned I am strongly considering Canada if we can get a reasonable package. He thought after two years that Montreal would be jammed packed and a hottt ticket to get.
    Overall, being it was just he and I talking I was hoping for some good insights..... but I understand the caution they have to show when talking to fans or media.......or TMZ.....lol!

        Hang on... Nico Rosberg, or Nico Hulkenberg? Hulkenberg is the reserve driver for Aston Martin.

        Either way... REALLY COOL!!!

            Uhhhhh, that’s a bit shocking? Surely they’ll have to fulfill his contract compensation? Bold move by a team with little resources

                I thought that's what he meant. LOL
                Then I thought, when did I miss that Rosberg was back in a seat as reserve.
                Knew that hadn't/wouldn't happen.

                  Seeing lots of negative comments from the drivers about the circuit in Miami. Barrier choices, kerbing, chicane too tight for F1 cars, etc. Interesting.

                    Interesting. Doesn't really surprise me, though.

                        Ferrari looking good in FP. Also looks like Mercedes has started to figure things out

                          Looks like we are out for the USGP at COTA. We had tickets for about $350 each last year, now we cant find anything under $900. Crazy how much the tickets have gone up. Really stinks, great venue and always a good race.

                              Yep, the hype is in over drive for F1 globally. We looked into the Montreal race and zero packages available. [emoji43]*[emoji94] COTA puts on a great spectacle every year!!!
