Briatore’s story reads like an Italian twist of a Hollywood mafia mated with a soap opera. Wtf is up with this guy and how does he find so many overturned convictions?!

Those bumps in the Esses are going to be crazy for the cars - bad enough for the MotoGP

Maybe Mercs super power has come from opening up the limits and will then change engine in LH car again knowing he can pass cars.

Done COTA twice for F1 and its one of the best Grand Prix venues especially when staying in Austin.... But you have to book hotels a year in advance to avoid the gouging!

Atleast this time the race won't be at a super early time in the morning. So I won't be dead tired like last time after a saturday night watching mma.

Honestly no idea. I just heard his name the first time last night and researched. I am not a long term fan, only been interested since his departure.

He's a criminal. Why is it good to have his ilk back in the sport? UNREAL.

He's a criminal. He should be nowhere near any legitimate sport.

F1 Mum

Rewatched Brazil 2016, what a drive by Max and send off for Massa.

Hammy’s mum, first time I’ve seen her at a race.

Hammy’s behavior in Abu Dubai 2016 with backing up the field and disregarding team instructions, I’m surprised Merc kept him on board. Not a great example of sportsmanship, pretty toxic show.
