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...

Leclerc could have 100% competed with Verstappen into turn 1 at the start of the race but he decided to finish second instead. The respect I have for the grid diminishes almost every race at this point.
yip, I noticed that too, its like they give up racing max before the race even starts

It is blatantly obvious it isn't happening.

Leclerc has shown in '22 that he can be a serious title contender if the car is good enough. This is absolutely true. It seems that the more competitive the car the better Leclerc is.
