1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: It's Vegas, baby, if one in town for the third time.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: It rained like nothing else of this week. So what's

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: the forecast and what are the prospects for race day.

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Mike Mickayke is an F one journalist at the Las

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Vegas Review Journal MC morning, here are you? I'm well, indeed,

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: I was watching some of that weather earlier on this week.

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Is that typical?

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: Not really for this time of year that usually we

9
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: get that kind of late steady rain throughout the day,

10
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: like in the wintertime, so a little bit earlier than usual,

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: but I guess there was a storm that came in

12
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: through California, so a little bit heavier in the rain

13
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 2: that we expect in the in the fall. But you know,

14
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: things aren't looking so bad in the next few.

15
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: Days, Okay, so the forecasts find a dry track or

16
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: we can't say that yet, you.

17
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: Could pretty much say that looking like maybe some overnight

18
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: rain tonight and tomorrow, but early early morning rain, so

19
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: obviously you know, no issues for tomorrow's final practice and

20
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: then qualifying, and then everything's looking pretty clear. On Saturday.

21
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: I think maybe there's like a fifteen percent chance of rain,

22
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: but I don't think that's around racetay.

23
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: What's your assessment as we entered the third year. First

24
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: year massive of course, because all the noise last year

25
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: not quant as big. What's year three look.

26
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, so heading into it, a lot less negative noise,

27
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: I'd say, aroun one with the Vegas basically, you know,

28
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: the first year, we had all that roadwork, about nine

29
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: months worth of getting everything ready for the FIA approval

30
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: for the race itself, and the paving. Last year a

31
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: little a little bit less, you know, they didn't have

32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: as much roadwork to do. We still have about four months,

33
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: you know worth of lead up to the race. So

34
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: obviously they're setting up the track and make sure they're

35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: all the paving's all well and all that F one's

36
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: gotten to the community, and they kind of trying to

37
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: mend the ties here with some of the people that

38
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: they might have ticked off the first year. So they

39
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: went in and gave a lot of tickets away to

40
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: you know, teachers and other people in the community that

41
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: are doing nice things now. So year three looking a lot,

42
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: you know, a lot less noise as far as negativity

43
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: going with F one. In the locals, they cut the

44
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: ticket prices thirty percent less at the start of the

45
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: ticket sales earlier this year. That was kind of aimed

46
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: at getting the locals who may have skipped it in

47
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: the first two years because of the price. They said

48
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: that worked out pretty well, so it's tracking for us.

49
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: I'm assuming before the race kicks off on Saturday that

50
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: they'll announce thisell out. So you know, everything's looking pretty

51
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: good going into year three here.

52
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: Fantastic how much buzz around Cadillac given the American connection

53
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: and their entry next to you.

54
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hear a little bit of people talking about

55
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: it obviously, you know, the lot of you know, Vegas

56
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: locals are still going to getting their feet wet with

57
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: the F one stuff, especially maybe the people that shied

58
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: away the first two years because of the negativity around it.

59
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, some people are kind of getting excited about

60
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: that and with the American tie in, so you know,

61
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: people also are pretty familiar with Sergeria, so with some

62
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: of the Hispanic population we have out here, so a

63
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: lot of buzz around that as well.

64
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Fantastic, Good on you make you enjoy the weekend, Appreciate

65
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: it very much, mission because it works out well for us.

66
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Of course, because this afternoon is P one and P

67
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: two Tomorrow Saturday is of course qualifying, and then on Sunday,

68
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: so it'll be late Sunday out time because of their

69
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: time zone because they're a little bit ahead of us

70
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: the previous day. So it's just ideal conditions. Longest, am

71
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: I right saying it's the longest. It's certainly as far

72
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: as speed is concerned. They knock up three fifty clicks

73
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: on the back straight there. It's not my favorite track,

74
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: no street tracks a favorite track of mind, But nevertheless,

75
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: I can't see why Racing Bulls wouldn't be doing what

76
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Racing Bulls does. Officially. I saw another video yesterday just

77
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: a boy you witness with my if one knowledge or

78
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: another video yesterday that confirmed in their minds that Liam

79
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: Lawson is safe and that it's Yuki Sonoda who's moving on.

80
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: So this limb Black guy sold on. Apparently they think

81
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: HATG is the next thing, so he's up to Red Bull.

82
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Limblay gets promoted, Liam stays, and Yuki is on his way.

83
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: So that seems to be a mounting amount of at

84
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: least commentary on that at the moment. For more from
