And if you ever go to a race (and since this is hunting forum), I highly recommend a good pair of lightweight binos. I brought a pair of Leica 10x25 Ultravids.

The Leicas were perfect for the race and fit nicely in my pocket. The glass is excellent and perfect for this application.

We were on pit row in Singapore this year directly across from Max’s garage with Ferrari and Mercedes to each side. The binos were great for zooming in to see everything going on in the garages.

Here are a few pictures from Singapore (wish I could post videos because the speed and sound of the F1 cars is unbelievable.)

Should have waited to tell Yuki he was the reserve driver until after that race... Could have made Max champ again!

He was already reckless with his "defense". Had he hit Lando they'd likely have DQ'd RBR from the WCC and they'd have lost a boatload of money for the team.

I always wondered why I don't see more people with binos at the races? Every onbe seems to want to watch the race through their phones anyway

Also if you are ever in Abu Dhabi, you can jog or bike the circuit for free on Wednesday evenings. I got to do this on a recent work trip. Definitely recommend!

They do the same thing kinda at COTA. They have bike night.

Yeah I was kind of surprised not to see more people using binos. The guy and his wife next to my wife and I were from the UK and massive Lewis / any British driver fans. Really nice people who attend multiple races each year.

They had super cheap plastic Chinese binos but beside myself and them, there was no one else in the pit row section with glass of any caliber or quality.

Maybe we are just lucky as American hunters to know about and have access to good glass??

Well, F1 nerds... what do we make of the 2026 cars? A lot of ferarri hopium out there....

The cars are absolute s###


I need to go to Middle East for work in April and there is a very strong chance I will be in Bahrain and/or Jeddah for the F1 race. These cars are awful but I hope Max figures them out and totally dominates.

Btw good thing oil prices are decent (in between crap/dog manure and survivable to keep industry afloat) so they can fund my globe trotting.

"Several sources told BBC Sport this week that Newey said at Wednesday's meeting of the F1 Commission - a rule-making body comprising all the teams as well as F1 and the FIA - that the Honda power-unit could not even recover energy at the lower limit of 250kw, let alone the higher one of 350kw, which comes into force under certain circumstances in the highly complex rules."

I think sustainable fuel and electric power will make this the worst period in F1 history.
