Translation:
It is starting to be said in the paddock that Miami will be Logan Sargeant's last race.

Williams has reportedly already requested a waiver from the FIA to allow Kimi Antonelli to drive for them from Imola.

Norris' SQ2 time was quick enough for pole. Seemed to be tricky conditions today, quite a few mistakes.

JN23

Disappointing in the end for McLaren. Great job by Ricciardo, maybe it was the chassis after all.

JN23

Interesting what Brundle was saying about Russell saying that the purple sponsor boards make it more difficult to see where the wall is.

Also, Sargaent out qualifying Albon for the first time. I think Albon makes a few too many mistakes to get a move to a top team.

I missed the FP1 deadline, what's the rule if I enter now? The OP doesn't cover sprint weekends.
15 point penalty, Sprint Q green light is the hard cutoff.

Thanks - joker it is!

JN23

Not that I think it will matter but: does Antonelli have enough points for the super-license? Yep. The issue is just age. Winning FRECA yields enough points? Didn't know that. He won FRECA (25) and Formula Regional Middle East (18) to give him enough. He might have some from other championships too.

Would rather Big Sir Jim spent £128 on Mbappe. A little bit off-topic, but when was the last time that Man United splashed out a huge amount of money and actually bought a played worth the asking price? Spend less rather than more would be the advice I would give when it comes to his football team....

A reminder that it's another sprint race this weekend so the deadline for predictions is the start of the Friday qualifying session.

The Friday qualifying session starts:
Miami time: 4.30pm
UK time: 9.30pm

Mercedes cause I'm curious if he could work some magic on that car and actually get it to work cause Mercedes engineers don't seem to know how to fix the issue at hand. I don’t think he’d be there for that anyway because he isn’t going to join until 2025 meaning he’ll be designing the 2026 car, whi...

The idea that Red Bull is an operational superteam who don’t make mistakes, throw away wins, etc… is a myth. Verstappen just has a level of consistency that makes Hamilton look inconsistent by comparison, which people incorrectly attribute to Red Bull. You know I would just love it if Verstappen we...

Just listening to The Race’s podcast from today about Newey leaving. They said that Verstappen is a ‘big believer’ of Pierre Wache so won’t be particularly concerned about this announcement.

Is there a driver in F1 history that we never found out completely. I can not think of one. You just have to be patient enough and it all works out. There was a time when Kimi was the fastest man in F1 and Schumachers replacement. That ended when he switched teams. There was a time when Vettel was ...

The 9-6-4-3-2-1 system also included dropped rounds, normally a season was 16 rounds but only 11 rounds counted, they decided that all the rounds should count and then added an extra point for a win emphasising the importance of winning races. I'd luckily forgotten about the dropped rounds. But loo...

Bottas seems in good form at the moment. I expect his future career depends on what Sainz does more than anything else. If he leaves Audi will he have an opportunity at Haas or Williams? He would be an upgrade on Magnussen or Sargeant. Haas could be a shout but wouldn’t be surprised if they stick w...

Would having points for everyone not better reflect the performance of the teams in the bottom half of the grid? One wild race and big result for someone who doesn’t really score points can massively swing the constructors championship, especially when there are a few teams not really scoring points...

JN23

F1 are discussing changing the points system for next season. The Race understands that the top 12 finishers would receive points. The top seven would receive them as they do now (25-18-15-12-10-8-6) and then eight downwards would receive 5-4-3-2-1. Here's what writers at The Race think: https://www...

The first of three trips in the USA is a sprint race in Miami. Will Ferrari struggle again?
Ferrari fooled us in China! Should make the next predictions a little harder

Hopefully!

Terrible start to the season for Gasly, he should consider himself lucky that Alpine is incapable of scoring points so no one is noticing. I think he’ll come good though.

Yes good point about nobody noticing because the Alpine is so bad. I agree that he'll come good.

This is exciting!

[quote="TheGiantHogweed " post_id=942207 time=1713615490 user_id=142611] This rule is perhaps just badly worded, but going from it, Sainz shouldn't have been allowed to go any further: article 39.6 of the sporting regulations: “Any driver whose car stops on the track during the qualifying session or...

Hamilton doing Hamilton things. Guess Russell is being smart... 1781592723671191595 This doesn't really pass the sniff test. We all saw why Hamilton went out. It wasn't because his car was fundamentally too slow it was because he made a mistake at the hairpin which cost him loads of time. The tweet...

Seems Ferrari aren’t second fastest here, possibly for the first time this season.

JN23

Agree with a lot of the Rosberg comments. While I’ve always liked most of the Sky panel individually, you also feel you’re getting the same views, so Rosberg offering something completely different is great.

JN23

What’s going on here then? It was as good as even last season (with Gasly on a slight edge on points) and most expected Gasly to kick on and beat Ocon this season. But it’s currently 5-0 to Ocon in qualifying (5-1 if you include sprints). Ocon has been the better driver in races too.

JN23

Sainz should be playing no further part in this, annoying that he is.

JN23

I assume Tsunoda has never driven this track before, definitely not in an F1 car.

JN23

When was the last time he was good ? (I don't just mean better than he is in the dry, I mean genuinely good). At face value I would have agreed with TheGiantHogweed as I remembered his standout performances at Monza in qualifying and I think Turkey in the wet a few years ago but your post made me t...

I didn’t think the FiA could reinstate things after the fact? hmm. I think it is an automated deletion for the offense on the previous lap which was subsequently corrected by the FIA.

Stroll disappointing given what he is usually like in these conditions.

Does Stroll being impressive in rain still stand as a thing? Has he done anything of note in the rain since Turkey 2020?

Pleased for Zhou

Why is the grass around the track catching fire?
