I'm sure he's sick of it, but I doubt he's sandbagging. What would that get him? He's still a racer. And he's there to win. But I do think it's time for him to move on. I do t really see him in WEC. But DTM? World Rally Cross?

I think WEC or WRC is the most likely spot he will land once he retires from F1.

He was already in rallying once before. I'm sure he'll go back to that.

My favorite race of the season coming up this weekend. Love me some Spa.

Been a long 4 weeks.

I wish they still ran the old Spa layout. That thing was wild.

Indeed. Unfortunately, so many of the great, old tracks have been neutered, it's really sad.

I'm not suggesting no advancements in safety should be made. But, removing the element of fear really takes away from a track's character, IMHO.

I completely agree. Spa is the best track on the calendar. It's a close to The 'Ring as we can get anymore.

Hopefully with the new ownership we can get a onother race or two here in the states. How sweet would it be to have a race in Chicago, or San Francisco? Francisco could almost be like Monaco with it's terrain.

Road America. I'd also love to see Sebring but the track is for too rough.

Or they could go back to Watkins Glen, and get rid of the stupid ass bus stop chicane.

Ferrari re-signed Kimi. I'm kinda surprised, to be honest. I thought Verstappen would wind up there, for sure.
