I found this situation very bizarre. At the end of the race, four cars are randomly checked and 50 per cent of these four cars, i.e. raw and lec, are found to have violated the rules. What happened to the remaining 16 cars? Who cares? Who knows how many violations there will be in the other 16 cars, but the rule-sick F1 got away with the random selection of four cars. Think about it, for example, with the Olympics, you apply a doping test to four random 100 m runners out of twenty, you don't care whether the rest have doped or not, and you only penalise these randomly selected runners.

It's about the clearance that they have and it wasn't aligned with the technical specifications of the regulations that FIA has. It's really a nightmare for bookies or something to have that.

Any similar incident from before?

Both drivers got disqualified after the race had been a surprise to hear.
Sainz wasn't on the podium once the race ended so it must of been announced several hours later.
Any reason given why they were?
Those who had bets placed on this race might have had them reversed if the results have been overturned so late like this.
I remember this happening several years ago when I had bet on the Oscars and they made a mistake live on air with the winner of best picture and the bookies had already settled the bets but they were wrongly paid out as winners.
But this seems to be a common occurrence in F1 lately with the stewards overturning race results after their investigations are complete and make an announcement several hours later.

I am really excited about the F1 2024 this is going to be another interesting race for sure and because the race will be televised for sure we will now take a glimpse of maybe make a bet for the following match on the F1 Academy

The Formula 1 Lenovo United States Grand Prix 2023 race result was really great and just like that Max Verstappen even though he lost the qualifying has shown that he can still do it and won all Sprint then the Race itself was a dominant win for sure for the Red Bull and Max Verstappen,


WOW! I haven't noticed that the Williams are the only ones that have that decal like that. I surely haven't noticed it but that was an NFT image and might have some value, or for sure the one behind that NFT surely advertised using the F1 race, and Williams is opening with advertising NFT's,


I was really excited watching the race as Lando Norris had a perfect start and Max Verstappen was having a hard time passing Lewis Hamilton, but eventually, in Lap 28 Max Verstappen did get the 1st position and preserve the lead until the end of the race for sure and struggling for his brakes for sure and Sergio Perez is struggling against Sainz, but yeah Max Verstappen still the winner despite having issues with his brakes, then Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris, going into Podium,

It was a really unbelievable race that it even continued after all the laps finished.    Because Hamilton and Leclerc both were disqualified after the end of the race! The reason why is that their cars both failed the tests after the race ended. As of this disqualification decision the balances changed on podium also of course.

Now we see this podium: Verstappen - Norris - Sainz

Sainz really got a free podium truthfully. Perez made some progress in the race maybe but there was still no podium. 

Wow Saint-loup you by far got the most points in this round so it's a well deserved yellow cap for you! I think most of us got tricked by Oscar Piastri's recent performances but wow nobody saw Yuki getting fastest lap and even ending up on points well done if anyone predicted that!!


More NFTs? I thought that was over already

It almost played out complete how you foreseen it happening, except for one thing: Max winning the race
I don't know how he managed to do it yet again when his car package was not even fitted with upgrades such as the others did so to atleast get some points before the season is over.
You can hear him on the radio telling his engineers the car was sh*t and saying the brakes on it didn't feel right as if he couldn't fully make use of them during the turns. Which to me meant he wouldn't feel comfortable going full throttle as usual in those bends on the track with the idea of the car not veering off the track.
So even with a broken car he still came from the middle of the top 10 drivers to win the race.

Hamilton and Norris were very close to take first place so many times but were dog fighting with the other drivers so lost those precious seconds off their time with every corner they took on the final laps.

The worst result I had in the pool with three of the drivers I picked DNF before the race ended.
Also had Hamilton winning this race as if he was to take a first place finish this would be the track to do it since he won so many times in Austin being a great track for the Mercedes car.
Last time he won a race was in 2021 from what I remember the announcer was mentioning about how close he was on the final lap to grab this one from Max.

Anyone else notice the Williams car had some crypto-related decals on their rear wing?

Marta Garcia has been crowned F1 Academy champion but we can not see her in the next F1 Academy races in 2024 or next season because Her next step will most likely be into the Formula Regional European series and it was an intermediate step between F4 and F3, and she will receive help from F1 Academy to do so, and in this last race for the F1 Academy a new season is ready for 2024, but as I have said Marta Garcia will not show in it,


The Calendar for the next season for the F1 Academy looks promising, and after this event ends the drivers will be backed up with the specific teams
on Formula 1 while Marta Garcia will be backed up by the F1 Academy surely that will make her in the Formula Regional European series because that was her target all along, but I still wish that Marta Garcia can come back again if she want to return in the main series,

Yeah true, he was just way too good and even though Hamilton tried to stick with him for a while, he failed and Max kept on increasing the lead more and more every lap after a while. I think the first closing up could have been looked at a bit more, but even if you give Max 5 second penalty for that, he would have been the winner and I doubt that if he received 10 seconds penalty which would be way too severe, then I would say he could have taken the lead to 10+ seconds easily as well.

It is just obvious that he is better than everyone else at this point, it is not even about the car anymore, we have seen the same car at Perez and how is struggling, I would say remove Hamilton from Mercedes and put him at Red Bull and put Max at Mercedes and Mercedes would be the winners.

Austin Results 2023 F1 Academy

This is the last race for this season, and the results for the 3rd race were really surprising and certainly, not like in the Main F1 race we are not seeing any dominance at all we can see that Prema Racing is in the lead by the other team is not that far to take the team standings but for sure MP Motorsport is on the 2nd place and a little win for 1 of their racer and they can surely take it but sad to say for them and a good one for Prema Racing that this team have won the F1 Academy and Marta García is just that good acquiring 7 wins on this season while her teammates Bianca Bustamante have 2 wins and lastly Chloe Chong doesn't have any win at all, and the results for United State Austin Round 7, and it was surprising that Jessica Edgar have gotten her 1st win in the F1 Academy,

And yes the season was finished but for sure Next year will be the F1 Academy's break and in the next GP here is the schedule that we will be having next season for 2024 for the F1, and as this last race it is now getting broadcasted and so we can surely see that on the next season for 2024,

This might be the race where Norris will get his first F1 victory! He's starting 2nd , has a good car , he likes the track and I think McLaren will prepare a strategy to win because the opportunity is really there for them. Leclerc might start good and lead the first laps but like always it's really hard to trust Ferrari when it comes to race strategy so that is another gap to speculate from McLaren.

I also can't count Max out but starting from P6 , with a track that is kinda difficult for RedBull I really don't see him winning this one , even if he won the sprint race , it was possible because he was P1 at start.

I think it would be a different season next year. I do hope a lot of the constructors have a say on the Red Bull Team because they are so dominating. We will see on the race later what has become of the sprint and how they will improve to be faster. I hope that there would be an entertaining race.

It was a very comfortable sprint race for Verstappen. It is like there is no way any driver can finish ahead of Verstappen as long as he starts in pole position. It is valid for not only race but also sprint. For example Piastri did a really good work in the sprint in Qatar by starting and finishing in 1st place. But even there he wasn't very comfortable against Verstappen.

Leclerc lost one place to Hamilton in the sprint but it was really difficult for him to compete with Hamilton there. Mercedes just looked very fast.

Russell was nearly finishing without points due to a time penalty of 5 seconds. Every point is very important for Mercedes as they are depending their place in the standings against Ferrari.

Yes! Just noticed its there now, while looking at the most popular ones being featured and since I have been searching for F1 content, it was right there earlier for yesterday's race:

F1 ACADEMY LIVE: Race 2 | Austin 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cpdaStsBR0

The production and now promotional value is every bit as good if not on par with the men's F1.
The crowds in the stands are in equal amounts since they are there during the sprint races which were already in progress.

Marica Garica seemed to be crowned as champion from the leaderboard from what you see right at the beginning of the video linked above.

We are only 2 hours away from Sprint race with Verstappen starting from 1st place after he made no mistake during his lap and beat Leclerc.

Both McLaren cars are in a great spot to fight for a podium once again and score important points because they start from 4th and 5th place + we get see Oscar Piastri putting more pressure on Norris and I think he will overtake him before lap 3. 

Not much what to say about Sprint qualifying as we don't have anything unexpected. Now waiting for Sprint Race, there is still few hours left. I hope I won't fall asleep as it will be late time here in Europe.

Better later than never. It was shame that they weren't showing races live and highlights only. Because even amateur karting races have live streams now. I have watched US GP qualifying and race as live stream was available on Youtube
As I understand, next season F1 Academy will be support even of F1 race weekend, same like F2, F2 or Porsche Carrera Cup.

Amazing! I almost forgot about the F1 Academy for sure and I was really shocked and happy at the same time seeing this article or news that our very own Bianca Bustamante will be taken by the F1 Team McLaren for me this is really great as we Filipinos now getting well known even in the F1 Community, this is really a dream come true for Bianca Bustamante as she really wants this for sure,


That is why the F1 Academy was here for females to be ready and be trained to be in the F1 I really think that this kind of separate race will be good for these girls to be ready to get aboard into F1 and for sure now that Bianca Bustamante is now in the McLaren driver program for sure she will be given training and for sure she will learn the basics and the hard part for the F1 in the McLaren,


I was really shocked I really thought that Max Verstappen won the Qualifying but suddenly they deleted his time so for sure Ferrari has now become the leader for this Qualifying and I really don't have any clue why the time for Verstappen got deleted, can anyone explained what happen, but we still have the Sprint and Sprint Shootout for sure,

It is definitely nice to see Ferrari doing better, and for a change Max not being the leader as he almost always is. To be fair, Max is not the greatest qualifier, he doesn't do his best work there, but even with dying tires, he keeps the car going very well with consistent pace and usually does quite similar times every single lap, he is always way too focused and that is his power, at a very long race that they do every week, that matters a lot, but during sprint it may not be the decisive factor, lets see how he will do. I think its going to take a while and we are going to end up with something much different when the time comes, we just have to wait and see the sprint and the race, I say Max doesn't win the sprint and someone else does, but he wins the race.

Crazy qualifying.

The drivers were very close, Max got the potential pole position for 5/1000 of a second but they removed the time.


So, Ferrari in pole positon and Hamilton second. It will be interesting for few laps.

Actually, for sure it was really time for them to do such a thing I guess it was really late because we only had 1 more race on the Calendar, that is why it is really a bummer that they are late in doing so, and maybe bookies can add the F1 Academy on their list as well just in case we want to make bets, there is a lot of possibility to be added for the F1 Academy, that the public wants or maybe the personal fans for drivers of the F1 academy, for sure will be a having a place for a certain someone,

Actually, their last Calendar race is on a roll, just like the F1 race that is now in the United States and just the regular F1 we also have the F1 State United GP, and right now the Calendar is already starting, the Practice 1 was dominated by the Prema Racing driver Marta Garcia, while Practice 2 results Rodin Carlin has made a win in the Practice 2 for the last GP in the F1 Academy,


The F1 Academy is just getting started and I think this is the 1st F1 Academy there is, One of the drivers in the F1 Academy has made way for her to be seen by the McLaren team, and for sure McLaren wants Bianca Bustamante to be in their team Andrea Stella, McLaren’s Team Principal has said

“The team are delighted for Bianca to join us, and for McLaren to be involved in F1 Academy. It’s a core principle of ours to be a diverse and inclusive team, so we’re pleased to be so involved in Formula 1’s work on the important topic of improving gender diversity within motorsport. We also look forward to seeing Bianca grow and progress within the McLaren Racing Driver Development program under Emanuele’s guidance.”

so for sure we now have a female Driver getting her way inside the F1 race even though she will just be in the team's presence and will in the McLaren's Driver Development program,
