Las Vegas Grand Prix

Espanolcon was dropped over the weekend by Haas.

Now, at the time of recording, take a drink when I say that this episode, by the way, there is no confirmation whether Espanolcon will be back in the car for Haas for the Brazilian Grand Prix, Las Vegas Grand Prix, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, blah, blah, blah.

Now, They did replace Espanolcom with Rio Herakawa this weekend.

However, from what I understand, Herakawa has WEC commitments, World Endurance Championship commitments for this weekend for the Brazilian Grand Prix.

When Halloween season is over for me, I switch over to Grand Prix season.

So right now I'm just hyped for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Formula One Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix.

So it's like the weekend before Thanksgiving.

We have three nights of racing right on the Strip.

I think this was like two years ago.

They brought him out to do like driver intros for the Vegas Grand Prix in Formula One.

And he's like, he's like jumping up and down.

He's like yelling in their faces.

So, um, we certainly will do that and looking forward to it.

Las Vegas Grand Prix will be one of those, but, uh, yeah, as you mentioned, you know, good solid, uh, two o'clock central race time on Sunday afternoon again.

So, uh, Good time to have that one on and be able to pay attention and normal, awake American hours.

Yes, sir.

Disney announced that they're going to, as part of the field of magic, that they're going to have the F1 Academy documentary, The Pursuit, but that's going to cover the 2025 season.

It drops over the Vegas GP.

It feels like quite a delay for such content, considering we're kind of used to a drive to survive drop at the last season at the beginning of this.

So it does feel a little bit dated, but...

I think, yeah, I think that that's fair.

Yeah, like I said, obviously, it seems to be the story of Haas at the moment, obviously, who were celebrating their second home Grand Prix of the season, who will celebrate their third when we return to the United States for the Las Vegas Grand Prix a little bit later on in the year.

it seems to be the story of their weekends though that they have really great starts and they're kind of stuck in there and they're at the bottom of the not the bottom but they're hovering around 9th or 10th so they're kind of contending for points and then very quickly it all falls away from them so I think that will probably be their biggest concern when it comes to what they're going to focus on in the off season, what they're hoping to improve moving into the 2027 season then as well.

This was really interesting to me and to be honest I don't really have a question other than what you thought was happening while this was happening on grid.
