What significance does blue have with Ferrari and the US market? Right from the linked article: In 1964, this breakthrough was marked with a special US white and blue livery, which featured in the final two races of that season. The cars ran in the North American Racing Team colours as part of a protest, by order of Enzo Ferrari. The former colour, Azzurro La Plata, is a light shade of blue and is the national racing colour of Argentina. It is also a similar shade to that worn by two-time champion Alberto Ascari, with the Italian often wearing a jersey in the colour as well as a matching helmet. Further Ferrari connections to this colour comes through the racing overalls of the 1960s, with the likes of John Surtees and Chris Amon racing in blue, as did Niki Lauda in his maiden season with the team. The good news is Williams and VCARB won't be running high enough in the order to be confused with the Ferraris. |

Busy weekend so I just now caught up. Two takeaways.
#1. I like the sprint format better than years past, I also like having sprint weekends sprinkled into the calendar, not something I’d want every race but it’s a nice change. Anything to reduce the amount of data for teams to capture makes for better racing. #2. Nico Rosberg is a fucking treasure. I wish he’d do commentary every race, not only is he far and away the most knowledgeable commentator but he calls out Crofty on the stupid shit he says. |

He isn't afraid to call out anyone including drivers doing stupid stuff. I like when the strategy isn’t a forgone conclusion, this tire then at this lap change to this tire. Or when the announcers talk to a team principal 8 laps into the race and ask “do you think a podium is in the cards for you today?” And the answer is “No, we’re going to finish 6th, 4 seconds behind Lando.” Then that’s exactly what happens. I get you want the fans to see the cars on track as much as possible over the weekend but 3 practice sessions is too much. Especially when they have all that time from Friday to Sunday afternoon to run endless simulations. |

Every commentator has a schrick, it comes with the territory. What I like is his knowledge of the sport, he has first had experience with many of the drivers and people involved in the teams and grew up in the sport. His recall is pretty amazing too. |
