Yeah I’m happy for them, but it sounds like someone in the 1% had a very 1% experience

Altogether an excellent race! Had strategy and surprises. Alex Palou & CGR are terrific at executing. Nice to see Herta and Rossi make the podium. Drive of the day runner up after Alex Palou might be Romain Grosjean. What a showing in JHR!

McLaren missing Theo right now

This yellow is not going to be good for Rossi. Damn you Ghiotto!

I never understand why Rosenqvist drops like a rock

A rare strategy mistake from CGR? The sharks are circling!

So nice to have non-Penskes at the front of the field!

Finally a clean start! I think the no pass line after turn 11 is paying dividends already

Yeah I lost a lot of respect for Tony Kanaan the last couple weeks. He even said that he told Theo how he had been on the receiving end of a lot of terrible moves in his career. Which to me said he basically thinks it’s ok to keep the cycle going.

Hey sounds like my Dad too!

Completely agree! Taiwan is a gem. One block of Jiufen (the village that inspired Spirited Away) is more “thematic” and memorable than all of the countries in Epcot combined.

What an insightful rundown. I worked at a company in CA with some disney fanatics. They were very much the target demo that you referred to above. Not sure their kids match the same level of fanaticism especially considering they will undoubtedly be poorer than their parents and weren't on any trajectory to be able to afford the price gouging trends. With no capacity growth or significant competition (Six Flags is worse), Disney appreciates, as every corporation and landlord in America does, that limited supply means they can do less while making more. All it takes is for the top 2-5% income earning families to continue patronizing them at higher and higher price points and they'll never need to adhere to the values that earned that loyalty over the course of 25 years.
