I thought the first season was excellent. Really focused on the racing and the cars , now it's 50/50 soap opera and 7 minutes of racing . Wish they'd kept the original formula.

I feel the same. I got interested because of DTS. But I guess they couldn't keep going if it was only about the racing, especially at year after the fact. Seems like the drama is what sells. The teams manufacturer a little bit but a lot is part of the season. They didn't have to do much last year with the Hamilton move, Horner allegations, and rise of Maclaren.

Wasn't happening at the Lego store at Grapevine Mills.
Didn't feel like driving to Frisco to try there.

F1 entry fee and car development is really cutting into the marketing budget

they realized the drama was bringing in female fans which is where they see real growth. so, it became less car and tech focused.

Time for my glorious once a year post about F1
Australia starts this week as 6 new full-time drivers take the grid....
Race Week is upon us so here is an update to my post from last 4 years.

---------------------------------------------------------
Quick Tutorial for Race Weekend (for those new to F1) - Non-Sprint Weekend

Friday (Day 1)
  • Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2 - This is a time for teams to test out the cars and all associated operations, and give the driver's time to reacquaint with and get used to the race track and practice doing "hot laps" or full-speed laps. Fastest lap times are recorded and noted for the drivers for each session.

Saturday (Day 2)
  • Free Practice 3 - Final tuneup for the drivers to prepare for qualifying and note any remaining issues with the car. Fastest lap times are recorded and noted for the drivers for each session.
  • Note: FP sessions last 60 minutes.

  • Qualifying - There are three rounds of qualifying (Q1, Q2, Q3) to determine the starting order for the race on Sunday.

Q1 - (18 minutes) All 20 drivers attempt to post their fastest hot lap. Top 15 drivers advance to Q2. Bottom 5 drivers are then slotted 16-20 for the race based on fastest lap times in Q1 session.

Q2 - (15 minutes) Top 15 remaining drivers again try to post fastest hot lap. Top 10 drivers advance to Q3. Remaining 5 drivers are then slotted 11-15 for the race based on fastest lap times in Q2 session.

Q3 - (12 minutes) Top 10 remaining drivers slotted 1-10 based on fastest lap times in Q3 session. "Pole position" awarded to fastest lap time posted in Q3 session.

Note: Drivers can attempt as many times as they are able within the time slot to record a fastest lap.

Sunday (Day 3)
Race - Drivers line up on starting grid based on qualifying results (and penalty times if assessed). Drivers perform a warm-up or "formation" lap to get into position. Lights out and race is underway!
  • Points are awarded only to the Top 10 finishers in the race. Points count toward both driver's and constructor's championships. The fastest driver lap time point has been removed for 2025.
  • Points awarded are 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 for Top 10 finishers.
  • Fastest lap time and fastest track sector times are noted during the race.

Note: Some non-sprint weekend races may deviate from Fri-Sun format for various reasons.

----------------------------
Sprint Weekend Race Rules 2025 (6 Sprint Races in 2025)
----------------------------
    Friday - FP1 and Sprint Qualifying take place
  • Sprint Qualifying (SQ) session determines order of Sprint Race on Saturday.
  • Three rounds: SQ1 - 12 minutes, SQ2 - 10 minutes, SQ3 - 8 minutes
    • Saturday - Sprint Race and Race Qualifying
  • Sprint Race is roughly 1/3 length of full race, therefore drivers should not have to pit.
  • Points are given for top 8 places (8 to 1).

    Sunday - Race

(Note: If anyone knows of other rule changes that affect this, please provide)

My dad went to northpark and got there at 11am, he was 5thin line. When they open there were about 100 people in line and by the time he left at 12:30 they were all spoken for. I was in KC and that store said they had about 200 kits. There were maybe 50 people in line when I left the store and probably 20 had gone through with me.

It's a very tiny wheel but it turns and actually tilts up and down. Neat little addition to the collection.

I don't care. I just need someone to tell me when I can start buying merch for the new team.

My son was 12th in line but tapped out when the guy in front of him said all of the wheels for spoken for.

Later he thought he should've stayed and talked to somebody from the store to confirm.

The 2025 Formula 1 (F1) tire regulations include:
  • Tire allocation
    Drivers receive 13 sets of dry weather tires, four sets of intermediate tires, and three sets of full wet tires for standard Grand Prix weekends.

  • Tire compounds
    Pirelli will provide six dry tire compounds, with three selected for each race weekend. The compounds range from C1, the hardest, to C6, the softest.

  • Tire usage
    Drivers must use two different compounds during a dry race. For example, if a driver starts on mediums, they must make a pit stop to switch to softs or hards.

  • Tire color coding
    The highest-numbered slick tire is red and is known as the "soft" tire. The middle choice is yellow and is known as the "medium". The lowest-numbered is white and is known as the "hard" tire.

  • Tire use in F1 Sprint Races
    Drivers receive 12 sets of tires for F1 Sprint Race weekends.

  • Tire use in qualifying
    Drivers must return two sets of tires to Pirelli after each of the three practice sessions.

Pirelli chooses three compounds for each Grand Prix based on track characteristics and climates.

Grapevine mills isn't a Lego store. It's a licensed discovery center. Stinebriar and north park are only two north Texas. Sucks for us in fort worth.

COTA just went on sale. You can get T12 for under $900 if you want a good overtaking zone.

I'm going to be playing the waiting game this year, if not then GA. Las Vegas announced cheaper prices which hopefully leads to resale taking a bigger hit this year than last year.

COTA charging $400 for a GA 3-day pass? Spa GA 3-day pass is $185. The good thing about DTS is it was a gateway to getting my wife interested. We may have to go to Belgium this year.
