US GP - Practice 1 | Best Sector Times: S1: No surprise that VER was quickest there. LEC was just 0.01s behind though, as he gained on the straights and in Turn 1. McL struggled. S2 was McL's best sector (and VER's worst). S3: Ferrari's best sector. What's your Sprint Shootout prediction?

US GP - Tyres | Very representative track (One long straight, many fast corners, 2 slow hairpins, 2 strong braking zones): any weakness will be exposed! Quick in Austin = Quick everywhere. C2-C3-C4 compounds. Balanced Front/Rear wear. Aero efficiency is key! [Image by: Pirelli Motorsport]

Will F1 ever match 2008's 'Aero-craziness'? Most cars had a 'Bridge wing': an additional plane joining the endplates ABOVE the nose. It produced additional downforce, albeit less efficiently than a wing closer to the road (no ground effect). Tons of dirty air yet cool to watch!

Recommend an exciting F1 race
No F1 this weekend and I am bored. Could you recommend an interesting or exciting F1 race from the past for me to watch today. From any period as long as its available with English commentary in the archives. Oh and please don't give away the winner, just say the year and track.
What was a great race, do you think?
Thanks very much.

Singapore GP | Gap to Winner: In the first stint (Mediums), NOR increased his advantage on VER from 5s on lap 10 to 25s on lap 28: ~1.1s/lap quicker! LEC quickest in the last stint (Hards), even more than PIA, who was on a 2L-fresher tyre. LEC could have gotten P2 had he started in a better spot.

How can "luck" be measured in Formula One?
I'm not sure if anyone will ever see this or answer, but I wanted to throw my question out there. I recently learned that the NFL measures luck in four ways: dropped interception by an opponent, dropped pass by an opponent, missed field goals and extra points by an opponent, and fumble recoveries by either team. Obviously, there's a flaw in this in that there are other forms of luck, such as an injury or a coin flip. Anyway, I thought this was a really interesting concept and wondered how that could be applied to Formula One.
One thing that I struggle with is at what point do you attribute a crash to luck rather than a skill issue? This came to mind after Carlos Sainz crashed in Q3 in Singapore this past weekend. Was he unlucky? Was it an issue with the tires not warming up correctly? Is that attributed to luck, or is that because HE, as a DRIVER, did not warm them up correctly? Or how about Lando Norris' crash in Vegas last year? Was he unlucky to hit a bump or was it just driver error?
What also comes to mind is Charles literally saying, "I am so unlucky" (iconic ofc).
At what point is a cooling error (like Alex Albon in Singapore this weekend) attributed to luck versus a mistake within the team and the engineers? Is that an unlucky mistake? Or is that an oversight that could have been avoided? Because, at the end of the day, the definition of luck is "success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions," MEANING it has to be something completely out of your control. I guess in this scenario, it was out of the driver's control, but it was well within the team's control.
I feel like this can be applied to most F1 collisions (red flags and yellow flags), technical failures, penalties enforced by the FIA, etc. I don't know; maybe it's not that deep, and I'm thinking about it too much, but I would love to hear someone else's thoughts.
