- Start date
The race is 8pm start? That is pretty late for me and have to be up at 5am tomorrow 
but think I will see it through.
Now my viewing is on a new iPad which I repurposed from work
slightly smaller than the laptop but better picture tbf.
I don't think Lewis and Max will have a collision. Lot at stake for both of them! The top 8 starting positions are tasty
Firstly the ManUre vs Liverpool game to set the mood

Mercedes forced to change floors to avoid a ‘bloodbath’
Toto Wolff has revealed Mercedes had to make adjustments to their W12 floors to avoid a “bloodbath” at the United States GP. At a time when Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has been speaking of a special “device” that Mercedes have been using to “lower” the rear of their car to increase their straight-line speed, Wolff has revealed that the team found their W12s were sitting a bit too close to the ground at the Circuit of the Americas. As such, and with permission from the FIA, the team made changes to the parts ahead of Saturday’s qualifying.That session resulted in a pole position for Max Verstappen with Lewis Hamilton, the favourite to take pole, 0.2s down on his title rival. Wolff told Motorsport Netherlands: “The bottom of our car had quite a lot of contact with the ground. This will break the car. We have made a number of adjustments so that the car does not suffer major damage and we can finish the race.” Conceding that those adjustments cost them speed in qualifying, he added: “But it’s probably necessary to finish at all.” The United States Grand Prix weekend began with a 1-2 for Mercedes in first practice before Sergio Perez topped the second and third sessions, and then Verstappen qualifying. “We fell behind after Friday,” Wolff admitted. “We don’t know yet what the cause is. I can’t explain why we can’t live up to our expectations here yet. In terms of performance, the Red Bulls now seem very strong and on paper their cars are ahead. But it’s about Sunday. Anything can happen there. It can go in a completely different direction. Although I often say that the result of qualifying is often the result of the race, thank goodness that is not the case. We can certainly strike back, hopefully with Valtteri coming back to the front as well.”

I'm not sure what Lewis can do other than get in front from the start or run much longer on the mediums. I don't think he has ever gone for a 2 stop at the USGP but I think he may have to this time. in 2019 he 1 stopped and iirc was caught by Bottas. If he can run much longer than Max he may try a one stop, but according to Pirelli mediums, hard and hard is the best option.
If he gets a good start he should do what Max would do if he was starting second and push him right out wide at the first corner, but that is risky, Max has the lead in the championship and may well not move over sending both cars out. We are looking forward to it as the prise is a full tank of petrol as we will not be going to the bar after. Petrol has gone up in price here about 18 times this year already, from B$3 something to over B$6, but never bet against Lewis is still my mantra.

Gossip?Limejuice I know how much you love gossip and celebrate so I thought I pass on this tit-bit, word on the street is that Danny Ric is going out with Heidi Berger (the daughter of Gerhard Berger). Don't tell anyone as they are trying to keep it a secret
I feel unclean.
I like her.Jamie Chadwick won the second of two W Series races at Austin to clinch the second and her second W Series title on Sunday, I wonder if any F1 team will give her an outing to see how her times compare with their current driver line-up.
Well done Jamie
She has big hands
A lot of my family used to drive coaches and trucks in the days before power steering. They all had huge hands #sausagefingers
