Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
Wow, was not expecting this. Max's finally makes a mistake and then the SC but RBR was beatable, they were not any better than top teams I think. Max was only some 3secs ahead of Piastri early on. SC did benefit many drivers but Norris made up for missed opportunity was clearly faster after SC. Yuki...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix FP & Qualy/Sprint Thread
I am fan of Sprint weekend, it is more exciting and definitely brings unpredictability with the tyres especially. Ricciardo P4 would not be possible without it. Wish Max had a bad qualifying, I would love to seem him trying to come from behind on this track. Alonso and Norris have unperformed so far...

Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread
Not sure what was wrong with Hamilton. He was good in Sprint race but in today's race he was competing in the midfield. Midfield is getting more interesting, Alpine seems to have better pace this weekend. But I think Bottas and Hulk were the best among midfield drivers. Ricciardo has a good record h...

Re: Anyone believe Ferrari signed Hamilton because Charles is a disappointment?
He has definitely underachieved for whatever reason. But he is a WDC material IMO. If get beat by Sainz and Hamilton somehow then I think Ferrari should drop him and look for Piastri or some other talent instead.

IMO Lawson is way overrated and a downgrade to Ricciardo. His 5 F1 races were definitely better than expected but he was given 2yrs in F2 and then last year in SF, Japan If he really was another Piastri I do not think RBR would have waited this long.

Re: 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread
I think K Mag was the stand out performer even though he made some iffy moves. He was intentionally holding rest behind inspite of 2 penalty still had the speed to still only loose 1 place. Haas is the best midfield team. Ferrari as well had good pace and I think good performance from Perez as well.
