Anyone else notice the Williams car had some crypto-related decals on their rear wing?

WOW! NFT I bought a couple of those back then when it was still on hype and you can surely sell them at a higher price, for sure F1 is into advertising those as well, but if it will benefit the Crypto Community I am OK with it but I never thought that they are still selling those NFT's

More NFTs? I thought that was over already

Yup! I never thought that they are still some that were into these NFTs that I had dropped most of my NFTs that were free because they were now useless, maybe I haven't opened my wallet since then, but yeah I think I would look my NFT if they eventually have a value now,

I am really excited about the F1 2024 this is going to be another interesting race for sure and because the race will be televised for sure we will now take a glimpse of maybe make a bet for the following match on the F1 Academy

The Formula 1 Lenovo United States Grand Prix 2023 race result was really great and just like that Max Verstappen even though he lost the qualifying has shown that he can still do it and won all Sprint then the Race itself was a dominant win for sure for the Red Bull and Max Verstappen,

We still have the 2023 Mexico ongoing GP up ahead, for sure you will need to contain that excitement of yours for sure because of the recent situation and what could have happen in the future, but for sure the other teams is doing something to make those loose ends will meet,

BIG and good news for me and all the Argentines!!!

FRANCO COLAPINTO reach F2, so we are one step closer to have again a F1 driver, i hope he can reach the F1 in the coming years, we are so many years without a driver in the top category.

Its not the best or bigger team, but i hope he can compete. HE is also a William academy driver.

I think even the biggest and most expensive nfts proved that they were pointlessly high because only a few people would buy them and these were all guys who had a lot of money or gambled to try flip. Didn't work anymore:) So F1 seems like one of the last few places to advertise since rich guys are there and looking for status symbols

That is some big news for all the Argentinian fans of the F1 sport since F2 is one step closer to the big stage.
Good luck to him as it is good to see the next generation up and coming who will be replacing the aging ones currently in the F1 campaign.

Was thinking the exact same thing when I first saw his response to the NFT imagery.
They are highly overvalued for what they are due to the fact the ones we see give no utility holding them except for whatever the floor the ones who held them since the very start proposes they be.
For example, Bored Ape Yacht club.
Their decline begin with this lawsuit from the auction house Sotheby back in August.

"Sotheby's representations that the undisclosed buyer was a 'traditional' collector had misleadingly created the impression that the market for BAYC NFTs had crossed over to a mainstream audience," the lawsuit claimed. Lawsuit plaintiffs say that harmed investors bought the NFTs "with a reasonable expectation of profit from owning them."
Sotheby's sold a lot of 101 Bored Ape NFTs for $24.4 million at its "Ape In!" auction in September 2021, well above the pre-auction estimates of $12 million to $18 million. That's an average price of over $241,000, but Bored Ape NFTs now sell for a floor price of about $50,000 worth of ether cryptocrurrency, according to CG data accessed today.
Investors previously sued Bored Ape creator Yuga Labs, four company executives, and various celebrity promoters including Paris Hilton, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Serena Williams, Madonna, Jimmy Fallon, Steph Curry, and Justin Bieber. The original class-action was filed in December 2022, and Sotheby's was added as a defendant in an amended complaint submitted on August 4."

This caused a ripple effect in the entire NFT space and had since never recovered.

I dont care about NFT at all but they can be useful in some cases or for tickets.
NBA teams are using them for some time so it was only question when other sports would join this trend, but I dont see how it can benefit Formula 1.
Team NFT is the same thing for me as altcoins, and there is not much difference.

Well right now NFT's are just in the past just like what happened with ICO projects that you can not see anymore, NFT will also go in that same direction if that certain NFT reaches a certain amount that people can not buy it anymore it will surely just stay in your wallet for good, but I can feel with the impending Bull Run maybe NFT's could get a sudden value boost but certain no one can not afford it anymore, only the whales can, but if they would risk to buy it from you,

Many surely don't care about this NFT, or don't really know about them, or don't have any knowledge at all, but for me, I would just buy a good Altcoin than buy an NFT that you can not know if there will be a sure value in the future, but getting it into the F1 world maybe there are still promoters for this kind of stuff,


We are now on Practice 2 for the Mexico Grand Prix and so far Max Verstappen is pretty much dominant, for the 2 practice races that we have, but it is interesting that Alexander Albon from the Williams got into the 2nd place in Practice 1 and then followed by Sergio Perez, then Practice 2 Lando Norris from McLaren landed in the 2nd place and Charles Leclerc on Ferrari on the 3rd place now it is curious if Practice 3 will be different or Lando Norris could get back at the 2nd place, it is really exciting for tomorrows Practice 3,

[Volgastallion]

Yeah is dominant but not so dominant like in the start of the season, if you look into the gap its only 0.1 seconds, when we had a lot more in other stages of the season. Clearly he still a way ahead of all the pack but at least we can see the gap cutting down, sadly the season is gonna finish and all is resolved.

Truth @YuginKadoya @notblox1
You got to be careful with putting anything in these sort of activities on the blockchain as you could be scammed quite easily as was mentioned with the ICO age we were in several years ago now they are pretty much non-existent in the cryptocurrency space.
That is why there has been a service created to keep individuals from getting scammed by NFTs called pocket universe.

With this race in Mexico the qualifying is just about finished with so many penalties being given out during Q1&Q2, we don't know what the starting grid will look like because it was mentioned they will investigated and decided after the session has ended.

Verstappen didn't make it to pole position and Leclerc took it with Sainz being second.

Something to note is neither Ferrari drivers had any penalties during any of their qualifying sessions.

[coinlocket$]

Ferrari drivers are not under investigation so the pole should be safe.

MAX, Hamilton, Russell and many more are under investigation so the top 10 can change a lot but not the first 2 positions.

Yep , this qualifying session was actually intense and I'm sure the top10 will suffer changes over night or in the next couple of hours.

Overall , great racing from Charles and I'm glad Ferrari did back him up this time so big congrats for Ferrari for 1-2 podium that hopefully will transit into race podium tomorrow.

WOW! ICO I remember that, and I also remember the Bitconnect scam back then so pretty much we need to be very careful with investing with those ICOs,

Well, it is a very shocking result you can see that Ferrari is doing something in their free time, and right now other teams are getting pretty much near the Red Bull team sure maybe in the next Grand Prix we could see a different team that will be dominant, let's wait and see, 

Ferrari drivers are not under investigation so the pole should be safe.

MAX, Hamilton, Russell and many more are under investigation so the top 10 can change a lot but not the first 2 positions.

This is great now we know that there is an investigation that is happening with the F1 and so the teams will not make any mistakes because the investigation will surely change the decision, but the qualifying is a shocking thing that happened, and for sure many did not expect that,

Yep , this qualifying session was actually intense and I'm sure the top10 will suffer changes over night or in the next couple of hours.

Let's just wait for the big change or maybe for a big reveal a couple of hours from now, I guess this is a great opportunity for the Ferrari but let's just wait for the final results this is why I am really excited in the F1 now, because the dominance is slowly shifting,

[slaman29]

MoSala and ILuckyGuyI, you both just widened the gap between me and you by 1 point. Which is the most precious thing in this competition with only 3 races left to go, I would say you are feeling really good.

I doubt any positions change now, I paid the price of Perez and didn't get a single position exact. Almost all miss by 1, what a shame

I hate this problem of F1. Last race I was in 2nd with 1.5 points behind 1st now I'm so far behind and in 3rd. Who knows. Luck can change again.

Oh! never heard of Pocket Universe but sure the ICO pretty much boomed back then and many have gotten high pay for the free coins given I was surely surprised back then when I got a great amount by just collecting free coins some have instant cash but some were a total failure so for sure you might want to be cautious in getting your money and investing it in one of the ICO or NFT that will not make a big impact for sure,

That is surely great news for Ferrari but still, the winner of the F1 Mexico Grand Prix is still Max Verstappen, then 2nd position is Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari just managed to get Leclerc in the 3rd position for the Grand Prix, both drivers are with Max Verstappen in the Podium, and 4th was Carlos Sainz Ferrari is pretty much doing great right now, and another sad race for Sergio Perez as he did not finish this race,

Yeah but the competition is still quite fired up considering there are still 3 more races. It is really difficult to be confident for me about my finishing in top 2 honestly.    Because the results of even one of the races remaining can upset balances in the pool. For example it was really lucky of people like me on the United States GP week as Hamilton's disqualification changed points in the pool a lot.

Otherwise I mightn't have been in 2nd place right now. We are in another race week by the way. The next GP is in Sao Paulo and we have a sprint race also. 

[rdbase]

This weekend we have a sprint race happening in the Brazilian Grand Prix so expect anything in the Sao Paulo.

3 races sounds like a lot but if you see, it's really really tough to get even 1 or 2 point advantage, unless race is crazy different. This means I must get advantage in every race left over BOTH while hoping I myself don't get caught lol

But yes Hamilton disq really changed table so I pray for more such luck but of course, for me

GL in Brazil! Anybody here from there??

Leclerc got disqualified for the same race which did change the table. Luckily it moved up one of my selections into 10th place. I actually did better in the points even if having more drivers DNF.
When that happens it does feel you had been playing a round of roulette.

So with this race in Brazil does anyone else seeing Perez and Alonso not finishing too?
Both of these drivers seem to have lost any momentum they had when the season started.

[boltz]

Should we really believe the rumors of Fernando Alonso moving to RedBull from next year ? Personally , I don't get it from where this rumors are coming from but with Lawrence Stroll determined to sell Aston Martin by the end of the year , I start to believe that rumors might actually be true! If that happens , I think Max will finally have a battle and also a strong teammate that will most likely be allowed to fight with him for championship title.

Heard of this yesterday from one of those reporting on F1 websites but they are just what you have said so far, rumors.
So until there has been an announcement from either teams you can only go by speculation at this point.
Perez has a contract with Red Bull into 2024 if that hasn't changed unless Red Bull can it buyout to release him.
Stroll putting Aston Martin for sale could be the reason for Lance driving the way he has and not caring for his actions off the track in the recent months.

Don't you think it's more plausible to have Ricciardo instead of Alonso? I haven't seen much of the rumors but it's an interesting one. I just hope that in the next season, there would be a competition and there would be a fun and unpredictable battle.
