    Ah, in that case they did not and the rulebook doesn't allow for it. In our case you have people who don't have any interest in anything but good racing who can make calls like that, I can't see anyone in F1 being truly unbiased so I get how they write their rules.

    Every team wants to finish in the best spot they can. The fact that MB wanted to enforce a penalty given to another team is pretty standard procedure, no matter what the sport is. Yea it's shitty call. Ferrari fucks up on their own.

    F1 was the highest grossing weekend ever, claims MGM.
    What is normally one of the slowest weekend.

    I'm surprised a football weekend would be one of their slowest weekends?

    Max is great but the car makes a half second or more on good car/driver combos per lap even when they have DRS. He's still a total whiny douchebag.

    Worked out for the them too. Sainz qualifying poorly the last two rounds, be it on his own or via penalty, worked for AMG MB.

    Other than Raiders fans and then the superbowl football isn't a huge draw for them. You can bet from most everywhere at this point.

    Largest hotel revenue weekend for MGM. Not largest revenue for the resorts overall.
    When you sell rooms for ten times the regular rate, you can make more revenue even if the place isn't sold to capacity.
    It's telling that their prior highest hotel revenue weekend was a CES weekend.
    Those show weekends have rooms at discounted rates for groups.

    Venetian numbers aren't public yet, so my source won't tell me them.
    But it wasn't a record for either hotel or whole resort.

    The weekend before Thanksgiving is a slow weekend for conventions

    The town runs on conventions.

    The real measure of the weekend is not how well the casinos did. It’s how well the “ranches” did. Any news on their numbers?

    Suzie Wolff giving away FIA/FOM secrets to Toto.

    "alleged conflict of interest between Mercedes head Toto Wolff and his wife, who works for F1’s management group."
