It was extremely tacky. They're trying desperately to Americanise the sport, pandering to spectacle over substance, when the sport was doing just great without it. I really hope this doesn't become a permanent addition.

I think I'd be ok with it if they kept it just for the US GP; pretty much the only place they could get away with this, as it's their schtick. At least it provided a few funny moments, like Kvyat formally being nicknamed "The Torpedo".

No contest for Driver of the Day this time; Hamilton deserved it 100%. And well done to Verstappen too on breaking Montoya's race lap record from 2004.

F1 didn't tweet the usual timing screens for the practice sessions this time, and I can't be arsed to screenshot them, so straight to qualifying!

 

They're also revealing a new logo tomorrow: https://auto.ndtv.com/news/f1-2017-all-new-formula-1-logo-to-be-revealed-at-abu-dhabi-gp-1779943

 

So qualifying was the last time we see this one...

Hard to believe it's 23 years old.

It reminds me of the Wipeout games, so I quite like it. Obviously not as good as the previous logo - it could really do with some colour in it - but at least they didn't go with one of the other two...

It's very PlayStation-like, especially the font. Too much red for my liking, though; I reckon a black F (or double-r, more like) with just the red 1 would work better. I knocked up a quick-and-dirty version of it just now from the Twitter pic...
