I also noticed that Verstappen, and to be fair other drivers too, had a whinge at the speed of the Safety Car. Apparently it was slower than the Mercedes Safety Car....

Verstappen, as recently as the 2020 season, drove a car with Aston Martin sponsorship......

ANOTHER flat Street Circuit.  😡

 

Miami F1 track “95% complete” ahead of first race next month.

What is going on with that beach section? Looks like it was being drawn on a train and at that point they took a junction to fast.

Well now I'm even MORE CONFUSED about the Sprint Race Pole position.

 

Why F1’s sprint race pole position fix is merely cosmetic.

Well! That had the clarity of a typical race deciding ruling of the former F1 race director Michael Masi.

Another lazy reporting channel - stealing other peoples words by simply reading them out in a video, telling us nothing that isn't already out there.

 

Most channels seem to be the same: They put something new in the title as clickbait then just tell news that's been around the block a few times.

Thankfully there is plenty of racing this year so we can just watch things unfold.

Well that gives Hamilton no chance really of a last hurrah with Ferrari before he retires, I cannot see him still competing in 2025

Personally, I don't think he would of anyway, he could not of improved on what he has achieved, just look at those that have tried, like Mansell, Alonso, Vettel to mention just 3 ex Champions who went down hill in the Red Cars.

I'm also pretty sure he's lined up for Toto's job anyway

That graphic can't have been produced by F1, it's actually informative unlike the total **** that flash up during the race.

 

Sorry I'm in a grumpy mood this evening, but the total nonsense they put up, e.g. someone on fresh tyres sets a quick lap so they give a certain time to close the gap without considering degradation or the other driver responding. I think it's an arm of Amazon that does them, which explains why the products they recommend to me are so wide of the mark!
