We went last year and the best part of the event, at the track anyway, was making friends with the guys from Mexico City sitting in front of us. They had a Camelback full of whiskey. We had Cokes. We all shared. We sat there for two hours after the race to let traffic clear out and talked F-1, politics, aviation and…

It will be interesting to see if Bottas can hang for the duration of the race. Are Williams' pit stops up to snuff? We will find out soon.

I think Heikki finishing anywhere in the top 5 will be a huge story. I'd love to see Grosjean on the podium. Bet you a donut Massa is wrecked out early in the race from his 15th starting position.

Good segment. The talk with the Tilke guy was very interesting.

You mean "If I don't see it..."

Hamburger, small fries and a water.

Go to the drive through and get milkshakes. It is the only proper thing to do...or head to Mexico and never come back.

Very nice write up. So, did they run the F-1 car? Details.

Bummer to hear. He has a passion for the sport and its history that is lacking in today's day and age. He was willing to go out and race in other series on one offs and was able to do well.

This is the Pacific Ocean. Why would I choose an ocean? Because of this:

How involved is he in the technical development of the car beyond feedback to the changes that Newey and the technical staff make? Does he get deeply involved in the front end of development? What is that process like?

Yes.

I kind of have a thing for low passes...

Sir Jackie,
You've worked with automakers outside of racing and have experienced a lot of the post war history of the automobile. Are we in a golden age for enthusiast cars or was it better "back in the day"? Also, does your personal car have a manual or automatic transmission.

The race is on to submit for approval. Delta has the first plan into the FAA.

Delta's 2013 holiday video. Why does it win?

TL DL; old school aircraft windows have to fit the surrounding structure and that is why they are as big as they are.

OK, the one in the foreground is a 953, which is a heavily modified version of the 911, but it is not a 959. The car shown was built for the 1984 Paris-Dakar.
