I am happy Danny Ric had a solid points result in the sprint race . Yuki dug deep for his result . Hulk just clicking off the points . K Mag had his elbows out against Hammy . Tough track to make a pass . Hopefully qualifying can shake things up .

Best quote so far from Miami. "Lando has gone soft...not Lando himself, but his tyres."

I am quite impressed with Piastri . With half the updates that Norris has Piastri is right there with him . Max doing what Max does . Hulk just wringing the neck out of the Haas . Danny Ric WTF ????

Yea, where has that Danny Ric been?
Perhaps the race may be competitive tomorrow. At least for longer than usual.

Unfortunately Danny Ric starts the race tomorrow in last place . His qually was horrible . Then add the 3 spot grid penalty . Not good .

Do you have a link to watch the race live online? ESPN isn’t carrying it & we don’t have ABC.

Is it a "Drive to Survive" thing? Are there no "F-Bomb" filters in the brain when speaking to a reporter live on TV after a win?
I'm not against a good curse. I do it often. Just not a fan of "f•••" becoming an everyday part of the public lexicon I'm getting old, and yes, even the music is 'getting too loud'. I never thought that would happen.

I'm with you @herr_oberst. I feel sorry for the people who can't seem to express themselves any other way than to swear, especially in situations like that. If I were Zak Brown I'd be having a private conversation with Lando and let him know that's not acceptable for anyone representing our team in public.

It was a good race to watch. And yea, the F-bomb is just unnecessary for any broadcast event. I have used it in conversations with guys for many years, but I can tun it off when in public or in polite company.
Max did not win while in the race for the first time in 20 races.

Not interested enough to watch even though it was on broadcast TV. Sorry that wasn't available for Paul K in the VI. I did watch the YT recap as I usually do. so I missed the remark; just as well.
Good on Noris though for staying ahead. Nice to see someone but RB win. That's why I dropped out to begin with. |

That was such a poor move and showing on his part that I understand the criticism of his occupying the seat. It might be time for RB to start culturing Max's replacement. No doubt he will retire at some point. If he gets 8 championships I think he's as good as gone. Perez won't at that time be anywhere near capable.

Penalty for Sainz ? I mean Piastri took him right out of the track the lap before, so he tries harder and slightly slides the rear in the process, IMO total racing circumstances. If you watched Indy at Barber where people were not penalized for completely nerfing other drivers, this is funny. There has to be a middleground somewhere..
Apparently Lando has an orange "lucky charm" now, ugh. Also how insufferable will Zack Brown become now? Last edited by Deschodt; 05-06-2024 at 12:53 PM.. |

![]() I really Like Vasseur. He's calm, funny, and he's enough of a sportsman to be happy for Lando. You would not see Horner celebrate with Mercedes ;-) |
