he had floor damage and still finished 2nd, so it's not a total disaster of a race.

lando and charles are his boys, so i don't think losing to them stings as much. if he lost that race to lewis, it might be different.

Miami was better than the first time when the track was coming apart

Wish they could build another permanent track and not a street circuit in the states

They prefer street tracks as it works better for bringing in the high rollers.

Tracks an hour or more outside the city are of little interest to them.

Yeah when the Miami race was coming together Homestead pushed for the race but the F1 response was that the city views and proximity to the airport beat a permanent track out in the boonies.

Make sense that a race broadcast on ABC in the middle of the afternoon, with a lead in from a Game 7 in the NBA, would have great ratings. The race was entertaining as well.

Yeah, I was surprised to see it on the TVs at my Gym’s pool. Saw that the wrong person was leading but still the only way it would have been on is if there was something else before it or nothing else on sports-wise.

Correct, it's in Hollywood to the North of South Beach, but closer to the track.

Remember last year's race at Imola was cancelled because of severe flooding. Yuki Tsunoda, who moved to Faenza to be closer to the team after his disastrous first season, was spotted (along with other AlphaTauri personnel) helping with cleanup.



On the off week, I watched a replay of the 2022 Imola race. It started on a damp track. It was a good race! Well except for Danny Ric taking out Sainz on the first lap. I had forgotten about that, but as soon as I saw it, I remembered how devastating that was for Sainz because it was the second race in a row that his race ended in the opening laps.

Wouldn’t it be nice if both McLaren and Ferrari were able to challenge Red Bull each week now?

Yes it would. Also, for the first time this season we will have races in consecutive weekends!

Tifosi will be out in full force this week.

Let's see if Mclaren can challenge Red Bull "each week" first.

Imola and Indy 500 qualifying, then Monaco and the Indy 500. It's gonna be a great pair of weekends!

Seeing Lando win a race and how the paddock congratulated him was awesome.

Monaco
Only thing cool about it these days is quali. The race is a parade every year because the cars are too wide for the circuit and everyone knows it.

Are there rumblings around Chicago actually being on the calendar?

F1 Troll posted a joke around a calendar full of 24 US dates and in the caption put "now that Chicago is signed"

God I hope not, the three here are plenty enough.
