Re: 2023 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

The commentators are rather instigating a non existent feud - "Perez radio rather silent" yet on "Verstappen side, giving lots of information about the distance". Come on man. If Perez wanted to know, he'd ask or direct them to tell him. Like Kimi, he may have told them to be as silent as possible -...

Re: Vettel and Alonso

Vettel's hair was mussed, but he has always had a fondness for the historical F1 days when Mussy Hair was a Must! I've been a diehard Vettel fan since he started and I will remain so until he calls it a day. His goals have changed a bit - he loves winning and being at the front (like all drivers), b...

Great race - enjoyed that despite Sebastian out. But RB was in and loved Max shining in the RB18. Great racing to snag the lead and stick it to the flag. Great stuff. Kudos to Charles for adding fun to the challenge and Sainz in at 3rd.

If you believe Lewis is guilty and he's wiped out his main rival, 10 seconds is quite possibly a pointless penalty.

Our faithful commentators are having a very difficult time dancing around any blame for Hamilton. At best, it is a very very close call. As I see it, other way around they'd have Max hands down due a major penalty - black flag and what not. lol. Somethings never change.
