      That’s bc Lewis isn’t there to aggravate Max…all of the three challengers to Max are either his friends or very well liked and they get along great…the last three GPs Lewis has been third and the pressure is palpable…he refused to even acknowledge or speak to Max in the cooldown room last time and Max did the same. Ugh, I prefer when Lewis isn’t there because I like the healthy competitive, but not poisonous environment

      @@xuxon24 Once you learn the tricks, places to go in airports (the lounges and such), and fly in business/first class it becomes much more tolerable and you're just used to it. Sometimes these days I actually find flying to be rather relaxing, noise cancelling headphones, then zone out for a while. I'm not getting calls/emails while in air, so it's a nice break.

As soon as they become available I’ll be there…I tried to block off every weekend at the Venetian and other resorts on the Strip, but wisely, they aren’t booking any of the November weekends until the dates are announced by the FIA! 😂
      Too many people were trying to book all four weekends in November (the month the GP will be in) with the idea of canceling the three that aren’t the correct weekends once the actual weekend is announced…the bastards they’re on to us lol. It’ll be me and my teenage daughter…only the girls in my family are into motorsports can you believe it? Weird.
