It is Miami. The whole city is kind of like that. You either love it or you hate it. It’s probably the main reason I’ve only been there one time.
In Miami’s defense though, is it really much different than Monaco? Monaco is the worst actual race on the calendar, but is the pinnacle of F1. When it comes to street races, it’s more about the show and the party than it is the actual race.
If I ever go to another F1 race, it will probably be Spa. Where you can sit in the beautiful countryside and watch a race.
Can't wait to see how Vegas tries to one up them, it'll be real dumb.
I love how ridiculous they made Miami, just camp it up. Texas is a better track but way more cringier IMO.
Considering the Miami race is in a parking lot it's a decent race. Max is just so far ahead of everybody it makes it seem way worse of a race than it is. All the stuff around the race is really dumb but it's also very Miami. I'm looking forward to Imola in a couple weeks, that's usually a decent race.
Yeah, it definitely wasn't the track, it's Red Bull/Max being just head and shoulders above the rest of the field right now. There was a decent amount of overtaking back in the back and drivers were able to move forward. The other problem is Sky Sports mostly focusing on the front runners.
My prediction is eventually Checko and Max wreck each other down the schedule when they basically have it wrapped up and Fernando takes the checkered flag.
I think it's going to take a mishap or bad luck on part of RB. No way a car beats them on outright pace. Although, if another car does have a shot, it's probable at Monaco.
Nobody will catch RB but hopefully someone closes the gap a bit more as the season goes on so it doesn't take a double DNF for someone else to win. Mercedes is talking about a big upgrade at Imola.
It's going to be a lot like the previous years with Mercedes. In a pure race, nobody is touching RB & Max (maybe Checo).
It'll be all the other things that cause problems. Like this past weekend. Max having to start P9 due to the red flag in quali, puts him right in the middle of the scrum for the first couple of corners. Lots of innocent bystanders in those first corner wrecks. Maybe trying to stay out to long of slicks instead of going to inters (ala Norris a few yeras back). Or just an outright mechanical failure. Stuff just breaks.

Monaco is a good bet. Or some untimely engine swap where Max has to start dead last and just runs out of time to get through the field.
Not a Max fan, but that was savage. Kinda like it!
