Will be funny if Max rubs him while trying to pass after last week.

I lol’d when they cut to Max’s radio just to bleep every word. I’m glad all this happened because I thought it would be a snooze fest tomorrow. Now we’ll get some entertainment. George has all night to figure out if he wants to hit Max again.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Checo, but he hardly ever can beat Max straight up. He always needs some help from Max misfortune.

Max fricked up his out lap, and Checo didn’t. Maybe Max has benefitted from Checo misfortune just as much.

but the race tomorrow just got a lot more interesting.


I want to believe this, but all I think is Checo leaves ahead in the title race and Max is 2nd by lap 20.

Checo taking the WDC lead tomorrow? I think it will be an interesting race.

I like this circuit. We will likely see at least a couple of safety cars tomorrow as it is highly technical in certain turn sequences and small mistakes can be disasterous.

Just watched qualy. Great mixed up grid, makes for a more interesting race. In IndyCar if you cause a red flag in qualy, you lose your two fastest laps. Leclerc should be starting P10.

Go Haas!

I assume that wind cutting across the track had to have some impact.

Looking at one of the screen things they did it was a steady 14ish MPH with I assume had random gust like any other time on the coast. Would make for difficult driving of these machines given wind direction and part of the circuit.

Red flag incoming tomorrow has to be a favorite I assume

This Q3 actually made me reconsider one of the recent proposals they came up with.

A single run in Q3. I still am a little on the fence because there are times when two warm up laps are desired vs and out lap then hot lap, however, I don't think one hot lap in Q3 is manufacturing drama (like so much of the proposals usually are).

Just watched quali and I had to screenshot this one. That smirk and side eye from Checo as Max went to walk away



Let Lord Chaos reign supreme!

Just came to me as I saw all top three walk to the interviews that they're all native Spanish speakers and they're in Miami. Just interesting.

At least one of Max's is in debt to Checo

In related news, storming in Miami so will be slick as greased owl shite tomorrow.

Too right. Checo's defense of Hamilton put Max in a position to win.
