Yeah. Feel you there.

Nats? But shocked they’re having a hard time. It’s a miracle they didn’t lose 100 games.

Commanders? Something is very wrong if they aren’t in the playoffs.

Depends on my expectations for the season.

Oh, agreed! I mean garbage time in context of postseason dreams and high draft pick hopes. You’re totally spot on.

The Nats need three wins to secure not losing 100 losses. Which, feels like a moral victory on the season but I’ll take it. It’s all garbage time but we aren’t getting a top pick next year. No reason to mail it in at the end for the younger guys.

The SNF theme is really the best to ever.

Get me a Terry tuddy to top it off and today rules.

Perfect.

Right out the gate it’s odd they aren’t going for it on fourth as aggressively as last season. Which, might just be a first game, settle into the season thing - but still would love to have some more looks at longer drives. Really need to score on the next possession.

Watching Philly do this is absolutely disgusting. Should have been us. Go #Commanders.

I’m looking forward to watching next week. Same with NASCAR. Both if time allows, football is back anyways. But still, I really enjoyed it. It’s hard for me to compare the disciplines as they both have incredible challenges - but F1 does a great job.

01.09.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

NASCAR I feel can take a few lessons from F1 on how to do a broadcast. It’s all in the details. It feels to a degree some of those lessons are showing through, which is good. But it’s always good to keep pushing to try to be better. They’re both doing that in their own ways.

01.09.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

As a designer too, the incredible attention to detail the F1 broadcast and Sky Sports puts into how these are broadcasted really was a joy to watch. It looks good, sounds good, lays out the story well. David Croft is absolutely electric on the mic.

That all said, even tho Piastri won somewhat predictably, knowing how razor thin the margin was between he and Norris was really compelling to follow in qualifying. It made for a really interesting to story to track for the race before Norris’s car took a dump.

And yes this is not a true comparison. You can’t completely compare the two but they have shared traits.

The use of different tires is something I’ve played with in Gran Turismo, but didn’t know how it was handled in race life. That’s been fun to learn in this process.

01.09.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I found it helpful to see how teams were doing in practice, what tires to use, lines to lean into, how the track rides cooler and warmer, dry and damp, dirty and clean air. The good nerdy stuff that I love about racing that NASCAR taught me, but was interesting to see in a different discipline.

01.09.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

What F1 does well is telling the story from start to finish as to what’s going on and why it’s important to the larger picture of the season. Practices and qualifying provide a lot of good stuff for this.

(I do know new smaller cars are incoming. I’m very excited about that and how it can improve racing in tighter tracks. Hope NASCAR does that too.)

Back to F1, a race like Monaco for all its spectacle isn’t always a fun watch when seen by itself. Today in the Netherlands is kinda the same. You won’t get a ton of passing at the front, but you’ll get the good stuff in the middle of the pack.

01.09.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Practice and qualifying are also not things that are all that fun to watch. Definitely there are folks who enjoy it, that’s great - just isn’t something I’m interested in. The race day itself fills the cup well enough.

01.09.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

For background, in NASCAR it’s not wildly common for the pole sitter to win. certainly can happen but with the length of races so much can happen. That also doesn’t mean the race is all the good but again - they’re long. Lots can happen.

01.09.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

So this weekend was really the first time I decided to watch practices, qualifying, and the race. Just to give it a full try.

My biggest knock on F1 is that the races seem a bit predictable on outcomes. You get the pole, you tend to win depending on the track. I get strategy is in the details, I’m a baseball fan so I understand that big time. I wanted to understand better what I could be missing.

01.09.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

For context: I grew up a huge NASCAR guy, I’ve never been opposed to open wheel racing (F1, IndyCar) and F1 never was easily accessible. Didn’t watch the Netflix show, I just enjoy a good race. So I’ve been slowly getting into it more. Following the last few seasons, catching a race when I can, ect

Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen

I watched an F1 race from start to finish this week for the first time. Practices, qualifying, race - the whole thing. I’ve watched just the race, but not the build up. It was really quite something. Tread:

Finding myself in a wormhole of F1 graphic design and I just stumbled upon the intro for the season and this sequence here is a masterpiece in TV sports animation.

NBC’s updated graphics are nice. Amazon is putting them to shame with the trackside booth, though.

Thanks for writing this. I have been a fan since they moved to DC and remain a diehard after moving to Georgia in 2019. I still watch games regularly, my kids love β€œThe W’s”, and I even got my way to the draft in ATL to cheer the 1st pick. Still, it’s rough. This documents the sentiments well.

Dude. The Commanders hats for this season vanished on Fanatics. I really hope they restock them.
