Re: Topical Trivia
Imola is one of only two tracks to have hosted a grand prix under 3 different names Emilia Romangna, San Marino, Italy The other is the Nürburgring - Germany, Luxembourg, Europe. Ah the GP of Luxembourg gives me nostalgia for the 1997 Luxembourg GP. ITV went for an ad break with Hakkinen and Coulth...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
It’s funny how perspectives change with dominance. A car building a 3.5 second lead in the opening 20 odds laps… 2021 - Mercedes/Red Bull clearly better he built a sizeable lead of 3.5 seconds. 2024 - Not clearly the best car, he couldn’t even build a 5.. 10… second lead in the first stint. Max was...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
this race yesterday was a fine reminder that without the car Max cant win just like everyone in f1, and that he does mistakes too. Counterpoint - Had it not been for a dose of bad luck he may well have won the race without having the best car on the day. Counter counter point - devils advocate - he...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
I’ll never pull for McLaren again Just for letting that bag in the door Fact Bless ya.

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
Really not a fan of the fact that despite winning the Miami GP Norris didn't leave the weekend as the driver who scored the most points. It feels wrong. I don't think it feels that wrong. Do you think Lando drove the best this weekend? He had the best car and he qualified 9th for the sprint and 5th...

Re: Driver(s) of the day - 2024 Miami Grand Prix
Norris and Hamilton for me. Qualifying wasn't great for either, but come race day they both delivered. Ocon doesn't get my vote because of how he and Gasly fought on the first few laps. What was up with how Ocon and Gasly fought? Ocon as usually did not give a quarter to his teammate. That often en...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
Magnussen has now accumulated a total of 10 penalty points. If he gets 2 more penalty points before 9th March 2025, he will face a race ban. What's the odds of that actually happening. There's still plenty of races left, so the chances of him getting 2 more points is high. I don't know what happene...

I wouldn't count any chickens just yet. Red Bull weren't even faster than Ferrari in the race. It looks like a bad race for them as much as the McLaren upgrade working Verstappen made a mistake and damaged his floor, otherwise he would have won. He threw away this victory. Happens.

Ferrari were not a factor after TD039, that took away any competition. Ferrari prior to TD039 was as fast as Red Bull, which they never were in 2019 relative to Mercedes for more than a few races. Races that Ferrari won and should have won, Bahrain, Baku, Canada, Austria , Spa, Italy, Singapore, Ru...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
I think I'm wrong about Norris and verstappen. Verstappen just doesn't have the pace - but noris was very lucky. He was doing a worse job than his team mate until the safety car which was very lucky for him. Was he? Or was he just unlucky with the Perez torpedo into turn 1? It's hard to compare the...
