As someone who lives in Las Vegas and doesn’t work or live near the strip the gp has zero impact on my life. Basically it’s the culinary union that hates it.
I can see that. Whenever there are big events around my work. (Ima cook) we all hate it. Most customers are already entitled AF and bc of the event, we just get even more entitled customers. It’s hell. I honestly hate how some ppl talk to the poor servers.
Glad you and I agree that the ONLY way to explore a new city is on foot. Way easier in New York too since public transit is actually a thing there (can't say the same for rest of the States). Hope you enjoyed!
I’m the cliche US fan who saw dts and has been following closely for three years - I care more about teams than drivers. There are drivers I prefer but when I get into a race it’s more about the teams.
either that or be good for 5-6 races then go back to being dead last again, they get clanger in that race back. All bangers/clangers are relative to the driver's/team's recent ability
Hey Tommo, great chinwag as always! Just wondering why you spent such a short time in NYC? It seems crazy to me to travel all the way to the USA for such a short period.
from what I see, and with my one and only F1 friend, there's still way more support for individual drivers > teams and this is also how I feel but with a caveat that you kind of mentioned; I've got my favorite drivers and then I'm also a Ferrari fan 😂 just so happens that two of my favorite drivers race for Ferrari - if that were the case I'm not sure how I'd feel about Ferrari and I hope I don't have to find out 😅
Ooh … I think there's a chance of a big result from a mid-field team (Williams, Haas, VCARB, even Alpine again). Not podium big, but maybe a surprise 5th or 6th from an unlikely suspect. 🤔
Imo Ferrari will be surprisingly mid. A huge part of why they were so quick last time was tyre warm up, which isn't really a huge strength of theirs anymore. You could still make a case for them being up there, but not convincingly above McLaren or Red Bull, all 3 are very different cars to last year.
How can you say, "It's been done for a long time really."? All Norris had to do in Sao Paolo was to convert yet another of his pole positions and we'd be having a very different narrative now, wouldn't we? With the gap being down to 30-something points and 86 points still remaining... McLaren must be secretly delighted with Norris f*cking up as bad as he did in Brazil, imaging losing the drivers' title with a single digit margin, they'd never hear the end of it.
people in the live chat thinking franco will get the rb seat over liam are delusional, bro crashed the car under a safety car in a pretty much straight section of the track. also they've been grooming liam for those seat since he was 17. they arent going to put some random into a championship/ race winning car when he has no experience within the red bull team and with the red bull car that is netorously hard to drive. Liam has been in the sim for all of it helping develop the red bull car.
You’re right what vettel had was only the second most dominant car…the only reason the rb19 has that record is because of Max, you can’t remove the driver from the car.
The 2020 merc was far more dominant. The RB19 is the most dominant because Max had the most dominant season for a driver in the history of the sport. Beating the Ascari win % over a season shows you exactly that. Learn how the game works.

After practice 1 and 2 i can say your predictions are a massive Lommo
Might be the biggest Lommo since the 1960 German GP

CTA train system in Chicago is phenomenal and the stops are very conveniently placed
@@gribbin7889 True, just definitely not the norm in U.S. cities
Had a worldie of a time 🫡
I'm putting in a prediction for Oscar Piastri at Vegas. He's been off the boil for the last 3 races and is due for a big weekend.
I’m the cliche US fan who saw dts and has been following closely for three years - I care more about teams than drivers. There are drivers I prefer but when I get into a race it’s more about the teams.
What does Sauber have to do to be a clanger? Explode and cause mass casualties? The bar is so low already.
either that or be good for 5-6 races then go back to being dead last again, they get clanger in that race back. All bangers/clangers are relative to the driver's/team's recent ability
Damn right my boi is always in the banger drivers.. He’s amazing ❤ have an awesome weekend Mr. Tommo!

I think RB could be renamed FORD in 2026 …… it will be good if thay do that and either add …. FORD ….Mustang or Shelby to the name!

Just woke up from a coma. Really hoping for a Sergeant top 10 finish 🤞
as of post quali (when im watching this), gasly banger drive is well on its way
Unusually cold for qualifying and the race, should be interesting to see who warms up their tyres first.
Saying Banger Drive for Gasly, just before he scores his second best Qualifying result ever, is quite something..
Well done Tommo!
Love the reheating tips. More content like that! 🤣

Its like monaco and monza combined, they're still favourites on paper
I think they can deal with the tyres as pirelli mandated very high tyre pressures. The thing I am fearful of is the new technical directive…
The new directive will impact them more on high speed tracks like Qatar…Vegas is mostly low speed corners.
Ferrari will struggle with the new TD that starts this weekend. 😊
OHHH My god the tractor is on fire

WINNER Leclerc. It ain't 2023 Tommo
Which is why Max will win it, new TD will force fer to raise ride height significantly.
It’s Tommo to you. Put some respect on his name.
Mo
@@TommoMcCluskey Corrected
And after practice 1/2 red bulls are having stinkers and Mercedes + Lewis mainly are flying. Great predictions 😂
Watching this after qualy, and unless he makes multiple big mistakes in the race that one you can check.
More shorts content Mr McCluskey. Turn the predictions into a short for sure, and definitely livery reviews
Mercedes could be good as their car works well on cold tracks
Okay!
FIA and the the new TD that was issued might affect their pace..
What was I cooking
The Vcarb looks more miami than vegas
They need to build purpose built race track next to LVMS
Austin sized crowds ez
aaaaabsolutely not, the us have enough races already
Very simple mates, Leclerc Wins and Ferrari will use Sainz as a Chess Piece. Verstappen will be right in the Rearview mirror, then Russell
what the heck have you been sipping on while in new york with these predictions
Checo bins it . Ferrari banger team
Really daring predictions 😂

I hope they streamlined the post-race ceremonies. Was super cringe last year.
Nah the Ferrari hype is crazy
I can't anymore 🙈😂
Watching this after fp2 😂
14:46 Dutch bias right there. You said Ferrari will be very good here. Leclerc will win it for me. But on the other hand, max is mad atm. 😊
Ferrari might struggle with the new TD that has been issued.
I want someone to love me as much as tommo loves alex :')
22:24 so the same drivers that were on the podium last year in Vegas 😴
We need Tommo on Bluesky
29:20
So far the predictions couldn’t have been more wrong. Aging like milk
George Lewis 1-2
FERRARI LETS GO
Ferrari is going to have a tough time with the new TD
Max had the most dominant car in history in 23, Vettel never had that. Charles poles in 23 were magnificent.
You’re right what vettel had was only the second most dominant car…the only reason the rb19 has that record is because of Max, you can’t remove the driver from the car.

U didn’t even link up. Shame on u
16:20 this is false. Lando has had the same amount of years. Max had in 2021 for his title charge. Really just shows a lack of knowledge from you.
Checo Podium, generational L tommo
You watch 👀
@@TommoMcCluskeyI’m predicting a cheeky P9
Ferrari is MID when are you going to accept that!🙄🤷🙄
Max will be champion bookmark this post ight...😂
Are you a bot?
Ferrari mid after the new TD 😊

wasn't in a top tier team during it max has had a race winning car before 2021
