Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
Wasn't Norris going to be in the lead of the race anyway? I don't think he was far enough ahead. If I recall correctly (but have to rewatch this part for sure) he also just missed the pit entry as the safety car was brought out. That would have put him further down, but it depends of course where t...

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...

It is blatantly obvious it isn't happening.

Sure he is currently in F2, but 6...

Re: Anyone believe Ferrari signed Hamilton because Charles is a disappointment?
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.

No, I think most people (including you!) have said Hamilton has very likely declined from his peak.
