Austin, so who is coming second this time around (first is obviously a merc)

So, Austin, not the most obvious place for an upset. Will Ferrari use the upgraded engine, will it make a difference, will Elton choke on Texan beef? These are the questions we want to answer.

Being in the Land of the Free might well distract Elton and take his eye of the ball, but assuming toto and Niki maintain their favouritism it's unlikely he doesn't win.

Will handbags get the pole and avoid paddy Lowe and the special 'low power' plug-in device he wielded in the last couple races, will Kimi get his shackles up and scare bottas into spilling his vodka rocks into the first corner. How about Felipe throwing off his mister nice guy image and demanding rob smedley put down his tea cup and actually set his car up properly. Can Sebastian find his inner Alonso and get a lightning start past the silver arrows?

Maybe Li'l Maxie will stoke up the toro rosso icandy Renault, leave his mummy to do the shopping on her own and step up to big boy pants and trounce a few big names? Long as they incorporate a potty into his carbon seat, the boys back at mothercare will be cheering him on.

Honda are probably very pleased as the races get to the USA, they will be counted on the fact that in the US, they a known as Acura, so no one watching will realise that the rubbish bangers driving around at the back are in fact powered by 'Acura' and will simply be laughing at those 'funny Honda things!', shouldnt hurt sales at all!

 

Elton meets his idol, and the man on whom he bases his fashion sense....... What a treat for him! Haha

 

Nico needs to push his mark on this one, for his own sanity if nothing else

 

I hope so, carbon everywhere!
