Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

Really nice to see how popular Lando is amongst his competitors; can't remember the last time half the grid was so excited for someone else's win. Isnt it just the standard for a driver getting his first win? Yea. As A bottas fan, I remember that he had plenty of the grid come to meet him after rus...

well, the softs didn't work out for bottas very well.
They put softs on Bottas' car, brainless.
Well, zhou also looked pretty bad on the softs at the end, so maybe they were poor.

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

I don't know how I've only just realised this, but it was verstappen hitting that bollared that gave norris the chance to win. Otherwise it will have almost certainly been Verstappen. If that cone had just gone right to the side, Verstappen would have won. Edit. Well that's me being dumb. It was Sar...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

He overtook off track. Pretty standard, slam dunk 10 second penalty. He got pushed off when he was still fully along side. Yes he overtook, but it was albon's fault that he went off. IMO, stroll was still entitled to be given space due to being fully alongside. Some will think that he will probably...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

I don't see how stroll should have to give that back as he was clearly fully along side. And although the limit is the limit, he was only ever so lightly off - but because of albon pushing him to this location, I don't think stroll should be punished for this. He overtook off track. Pretty standard...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

If things go the way they usually have this year, I think Sainz should get a 10 second penalty, which will drop him to 6th.

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

why is the vote for DOTD available before the race finishes? To me it just seems utterly stupid as it's possible for the driver that's been looking by far the best to totally bin it after the votes are complete. Why not do the votes once everyone has crossed the finish line? Seems illogical to me.

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

I don't believe verstappen will go as long as 20 laps without significently picking up his speed, but i could be wrong. And I honestly think it is pretty likely that verstappen will be able to pressure norris into a mistake, as he makes them pretty often.

I think that was more sargeant to blame. racing incident at the worst. But I certainly don't understand how magnussen can be deemed responsible for that. Sargeant seemed oblivious he was still there.

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

zhou could well be able to race up into the points here. Another race where it will seem like he's better than bottas, when Bottas just pitted early and zhou was due to come out around 8 seconds behind Bottas, but he was saved by the safety car.

The bollard was no closer to the racing line than it was when it was still in the spot it was supposed to be.
but it was on the track and cars race eachother on it....... So it needed to be removed. They did well, but didn't do it early enough.
