So who is broadcasting the race in the US this morning? I'd look at the guide, but I'm cooking breakfast.

Mercedes evaluating possibility of closer future Force India links - This is what Stroll Sr pushed for at Williams and did not see happen. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/138291/mercedes-evaluating-closer-force-india-links Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff says the manufacturer will "explore all avenues" as it evaluates a closer future collaboration with Racing Point Force India. Rival teams have expressed concerns that Force India will be adopted as a Mercedes B-team, and while Wolff downplayed that suggestion he acknowledged that there were opportunities for the two teams to move closer to the Ferrari/Haas model. "Obviously a few years ago when Ferrari spotted the potential in collaborating closely with another team it triggered a thought process with everybody else," Wolff said when asked out the situation by Autosport. "And only Ferrari will know how much benefit they have generated, but there is benefit in such a co-operation if it is structured well. "No team wants to be a B-team, no team wants to be a junior team. Everybody wants their own success, and this is something you need to honour and respect in F1. "If you can meet on eye level, a collaboration makes sense. But making it happen is not trivial. "
