I think the 120 hours of wind tunnel time might also have something to do with it.

Not if its up against burritos or tacos, they're not.

Apparently Niels Wittich (F1 race director) is fired effective immediately.

Massi should have never been fired.

The strange thing is, the FIA reports that Wittich has stepped down to pursue other possibilities, but Wittich says he didn't step down, he's just fired...
Not very professional to report things that will come out differently eventually...
I wonder what the reason is. Freitas obviously had to leave because of that safety issue in Suzuka, but the rumour is that Wittich is not exactly a fan of Ben Sulayem.
Obvious is this: you don't leave your position as race director 3 races before the end of a season voluntary.

One thing is for sure, the FIA is a mess the last few years.

With the WCC race is still very much ON, fans should expect to see a lot of exciting action on-track during the Las Vegas GP. Apart from all the thrilling on-track action, there will be a range of activities and events happening all throughout the race weekend for the fans which include the fan zones, live Q&A, F1 simulators, and live music performances from the likes of OneRepublic, Big Boi, and Dom Dolla.

For sure... I honestly haven't had a kitkat in years. But I eat some form of "tacos" all the time, be it tacos, tostadas, sopes, etc. Wife and I are obsessed with cooking authentic latin foods. Had tacos for breakfast and dinner yesterday. Tamales for lunch, but having tacos again tonight.

Never had it, had to look it up

Now I'm on a quest

For the other dummies out there lurking:

Doner kebab, also spelled as döner kebab, is a dish of Turkish origin made of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Seasoned meat stacked in the shape of an inverted cone is turned slowly on the rotisserie, next to a vertical cooking element.

Sounds delicious..! Now that you guys have mentioned it a kebab, burrito or taco right about now wouldn't be half bad..

I see it every time I collect our grilled chicken shish kebab order with salad and chilli.

There are quite a few different types of meats cooked this way... Doner Kebab is similar to Gyros and Shawarma, cooked the same way just different flavor profiles from the meat/spice combos...

Getting back to Tacos, Al Pastor is pork cooked in the same way, on a spit. Great stuff.

Probably got sacked by some goon who criticizes drivers for their language but couldn't handle it himself when its on the other end of the stick.

Famous words.."What an idiot"

I wonder who's next..

I’ve heard that it’s due to how red, yellow flags and safety car has been deployed or not the last few races.

Along the same lines as a kebab is a Shawarma.
Extra garlic sauce and pickled beets for me.

Or is he being handicapped so redbull can get more aero time for the 2026 car.

Greg Reeson, a member of Verstappen's side of the garage, responded on Instagram, stating that Perez is given "the same tools as Max." In defense of Perez, Charlie Wilson, one of Perez’s mechanics, posted a pointed response, writing, “Why you lying for?” The exchange quickly gained traction online, with screenshots shared across social media, fueling speculation and debate over whether both Red Bull drivers are treated equally.

The original comments on Red Bull's Instagram page have reportedly been deleted, as noted by a Perez fan page on X, with only Wilson’s response remaining temporarily visible before removal.

I hate getting involved in conspiracy theories like this, but there are so many obvious signs here.Checo's performance being sacrificed so that Max can still fight for the championship but RB doesn't need to lose more aero time for the 2026 car.
