COTA has washed their hands of the transportation matter. They say they are not responsible for the transportation of fans to the USGP - despite those fans paying COTA 100s of $$$ for a Park & Ride lot. Shameful, but just more of the same from COTA.  |

Always got the impression that in all things F1, once you unload your $$$$ on them, you are damn lucky if you get everything you paid for and you better be thankful. A big demotivator for me to attend a race until the global waters settle down... |

If the parking payments are made to COTA, then aren't they part of the COTA venue and within their reasonable control? I get that they can't be responsible for the traffic jams nearby, but if you pay them for something then they are responsible for executing, no? |

I HOPE the FIA gets ALOT of complaints about this, they made changes after the rained out GP because of them!! |

A big demotivator for me to attend a race until the global waters settle down... This is one of the things I love the most about Formula One. Feeling unworthy to receive it. Every year at Indy and one time at the shit hole in Canada. Loved it every time. |

The arrogance and contempt for the customers in that statement is staggering. Telling people who paid $180 per car - for a lot that was specifically and aggressively marketed as "Park & Ride" lot with frequent shuttles to and from - that they are solely responsible for their own transportation to the circuit might be the new pinnacle of "fuck you" arrogance for COTA . |

Hamilton has not won at the Circuit of The Americas since 2017 and his difficult run of form is highlighted by the fact he led more laps on Sunday than in the previous nine Grands Prix combined (11 laps).

Yeah we are so spoiled in America wanting delivery of whats advertized. Unlike the rest of the world where they ask for permission, forgiveness, kiss their king's ring and ask for more after getting scammed...LOL |

I know that F1 drivers today are often horse racing jockeys and that Shaq is like 7'1", but that photo can't be real.

LOL that one is photoshopped, but standing next to Max and Lewis on their podiums, he was almost as tall as Max (who isn't short) and tiny Lewis had to look up to Shaq. He's a large, large man. |
