Much more come tomorrow on F1 as a whole in the States, F1 in Austin specifically, COTA and the city’s performance this weekend, etc., but for today, let me just say…
Daniel Ricciardo is wonderful. He loves America. I want to eat America. He seems like he’d be downright giddy in a Cracker Barrel. One of my new goals in life is to be the one who takes him to Cracker Barrel for the first time. It’s an ambitious goal, but sometimes you have to stretch yourself.
Now…the race:
Where It Is
Circuit of the Americas, which, now that I think of it, it’s impressive that name wasn’t taken when they built it, considering how recently they built it. Anyway, right here in Austin. Out past the airport.
When It Is

How to Watch

Who to Watch
Our good friend Daniel Ricciardo, of course. In terms of who’ll win, though, it’s looking like Verstappen (-150) vs. Hamilton (+145) again.
