Will we get Red Flag chaos in multiple sessions, or are the Worlds best drivers likely to make a better job than the F3 teams last month? 

When F3 headed to the Madring for an official test last month, some team owners and sponsors will have likely scratched their heads. The end result was 19 red flags, including a number of significant crashes that drove up the accident bills.

As is always the case with any new circuit, the grip levels will be extremely low in year one. But Madring's hybrid of public roads and bespoke high-speed sections with little runoff area could well lead to a chaotic weekend.

A lot of attention will go to the Madring's headline feature, the steeply banked La Monumental curve and is a lot more complex than it first seems, with its varying radii and elevation changes.

But the corners right before and after the impressive Turn 12 are also extremely tricky, with plenty of exit walls that come back into the track rather than fade away. With so many unknowns, there is every chance the first running of the event could become a messy one.

"I think definitely with the way they've put the barriers and the design of the track, it's going to be one of the biggest challenges in Formula 1 recently," said Carlos Sainz, who is an ambassador for the event.

"The track reminds me a lot of Jeddah, reminds me a lot of Baku, even reminds me a bit of Macau in some ways. So having that in an F1 car with 1,000 horsepower is going to be quite an interesting challenge."

Sainz was aware of what happened in the F3 test and was under no illusion that the Madring could be a recipe for chaos, both in qualifying with drivers searching for the limit millimetres away from the walls, and the omnipresent threat of impeding incidents.

"I've been looking at the track and hearing of what happened in the F3 test,” he added. “I think we are all expecting safety cars and red flags and yellow flags in qualifying and things like this.

“It's been a tendency of Formula 1 to go to these kinds of tracks like Jeddah and Baku recently, that are closer to the city, Miami, but they have more walls and we haven't had any issues with it."

A blast from the past. Here is video from the 1964 US GP at Watkins Glen. Unfortunately, the only sound is some country music. Note, the Ferraris are in the NART blue and white livery as Enzo was p*ssed at the FIA and withdrew the official entry. If you're old enough you should recognize Graham Hill, Phil Hill, Clark, Surtees, Ginther, Brabham, Innes Ireland; there are many more I didn't know.

I enjoyed reading through Porsche history, hope you do too.

Whilst Porsche was undoutably a genius at auto design not all of it is pleasant reading, especially the Nazi party associations.

Pierre Gasly on pole!!! Might need to subscribe to Apple just to see this.

Looks like Colta Herta will be replacing Sergio this weekend

What a pile of $*^t, or should that be Bowls!!!

Even McLaren are unsure how it will fare at the temple of speed so it's more testing
in practice sessions to see if their 'H' wing will finally cut the mustard. 

I just wish they'd use it in anger rather than teasing us all the time.

Comparison of V10, V8 and 2014 V6 F1 engine sounds - yup on a guitar.
