McLaren is Legit. Miami wasnt a fluke. If Piastri didn’t get the penalty would have been a double podium.


If Lando keeps this up and Max has another retirement the drivers standings could get very interesting. Or if Lando goes on a tear and wins 12 out of the next 15 races he could be ahead on points going into Abu Dhabi not figuring in potential sprint finishes.

Obviously still like Max for drivers but constructors could be wide open. Only reason it wasn’t last year was because nobody was consistent behind RB. Seems like two other teams have their act together this year.

Praying for someone to crash


Wrong track to talk about crashes. Two tragedies there in one weekend in 1994.

Not a single Mercedes driver, either, and after so many years of complete dominance by Ham.

Better not say anything about crashes at most every track other than the new ones or are pre-1994/non-Senna deaths ok?

The worship of Senna is over the top...

*I was watching back then. He was good but was also an a-hole who would be instantly cancelled today for his 15 year old girlfriend. His elevation to immortal status by so many is laughable.

Was too young when he was racing but reading about his life and racecraft, he is no doubt a legend of motorsport who deserves adoration for his devotion to his craft, his faith, and his country. Just my opinion.

Need to tell the announcers that, all they preached before the race was "there will 100% be a safety car". That's what I was talking about. Why not just widen the track so the cars can pass?

I was wondering why the front straight wasn't adequate for easier DRS passes. I think it was on the broadcast that someone said that the reason is that Rivazza corners are too fast, it makes it more difficult for a following car to set up for a DRS pass along the straight. So reconfiguring those corners may make the set-up easier. I don't know that they'd be willing to make more changes to the track though.

I think the new.2026 cars are supposed to be smaller, but I'm not sure. That should help I would think, get rid of these suburbans.

Another race showing the difference between Max and Checo. He needs to get bounced.

So after Imola, the only changes in the WDC/WCC standings are that Leclerc passed Perez for P2, and Hamilton passed Alonso for P8.

These two changes caused considerable shuffling in the prediction rankings. While MikeD leads again for the seventh straight race, sorantable and busbeepbeep made big moves up the charts from P7 and P8 respectively, to P2 and P3 podium positions!

Glad to see Mclaren performing.

I was all in on RB/Max breaking Mercs dominance a few years back, but always said once that happened, I wanted Mclaren to be the team to peak next.
