Loved the new tyre format in quali, was it a one-off or permanent change?

Interesting that Sainz has more votes than Leclerc despite being behind in the teammate wars vote.

In this poll I voted for the following drivers.

Verstappen
Leclerc
Hamilton
Ocon
Piastri
Bottas
Alonso
Hulkenberg
Tsunoda
Albon

Only with regards to Piastri I am with the minority here.

Same votes here.

I think there is an important distinction to be made here. The votes I want to try and weed out - and feel would be less likely to be made if there was public knowledge of who voted for who - are the ones we get that are clearly just trolling/intentionally voting for the losing driver. I am confide...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stand this kind of sensationalism. I just don't visit these sites.

I'm unsure of the veracity of this but it certainly is gossip - https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/141lod1/offtrack_christian_horner_almost_left_red_bull_at/ Someone reporting that Marko has said Horner almost left Red Bull to become TP at Ferrari in the winter. Hard to imagine Horner even ...

I think I heard the commentators say after the race that now Max has the most wins in a RB, surpassing Vettel. I found that surprising.

The '23 Miami Grand Prix not even had a single:
Yellow flag,
Red flag,
VSC,
SC or
Retirement.

Yes it has been speculated that it might have been the first time in F1 history.

Typical cringe from Sky Sports and I chosen not to watch grid walk to avoid celeb extravaganza.

Hoping Russell has one of his first lap brainfades, takes out himself and Verstappen and we get a race long duel between Hamilton and Alonso. Regardless it'll be interesting to see if Mercedes and Alonso can keep up or without Perez acting as a buffer, Verstappen simply unleashes the Red Bull and d...

Hamilton said: "When we were fast, we weren't that fast. That's the fastest car I've seen, especially compared to the rest." "I don't agree at all," Alonso responded when told about Hamilton's comments. "Last week I finished 20 seconds behind Checo [Perez] and Max [Verstappen]. Hamilton and [Nico] ...

The cars are easier to drive. Are you kidding me. Monaco has changed alot. The chicane after the tunnel has its chicane curbs flattened. The swimming pool complex has changed. The first part in 97 with the walls taken. Out. Then again in the 2nd part tirh the walls taken away. Then the final corner...

I voted 20, not for any particularly good reason. I see the car as being similar to the 2014 Mercedes in terms of dominance, and they lost 3 races due to circumstance -- so I arbitrarily picked the same number. They could very easily also make history as the first team to win them all. It will all ...

At the same time, Verstappen is driving a car that is SECONDS faster than every other car he overtook “maybe” all the way to 5th place. And the remaining cars are all still than his car by almost a half second. You need to go learn the sport better to better understand that a car advantage as signi...

Also, did anyone catch a glimpse of the black and white flag for Hamilton? It was apparently for weaving in front of Leclerc (I think), but it wasn't in the highlights or anything.

Didn't see it myself but it was mentioned during the race in the F1TV broadcast.

Covalent

does anyone know why it took them so long to look at the evidence and to penalise alonso.or the stewards waited for a team to complain first before looking into it cause it just doesn't make sense. The race director didn't see anything wrong with it. Merc complained on the last lap so he passed it ...

So Alonso receives a 10s penalty. Did they touch the car too early, or was it because he served it during SC?
They touched the car. Jack was in position while it was being served.

Ah, deserved penalty then. Both Alonso and the team must be kicking themselves.

Well, last year in Barcelona, Perez got three TO's to benefit Verstappen (two times to let him pass, one time not to attack him when Perez was clearly quicker). Verstappen was behind because of his own driving mistake. And at the time of the race, Perez was close in the points standings. My conclus...

We can't be saying that 2019 was predictable race to race starting with qualifying, that's what we could be looking at this year. I'm just questioning the belief that it's in Red Bull's best interests for Perez to challenge Verstappen. F1 is about who comes out on top on Sunday, which was predictab...

Alonso has probably lost a bit in ultimate pace - all drivers do as they age. Whilst I wasn't sure exactly where he was at (although the points charts tells different - I thought he comfortably had the legs on (an under-rated IMO) Ocon most weekends). I reckon Alonso still has one of the fattest at...

Three days of testing is a joke. That said, I'll be tuning in Saturday just to see that Merc on track.

Here is how I voted in the poll:

1	Mercedes
2	Ferrari
3	Red Bull Racing
4	Alpine
5	Aston Martin
6	Alfa Romeo
7	McLaren
8	Haas
9	Alpha Tauri
10	Williams

Rated McLaren quite low because I have no idea about Piastri.

So the new C1 should be somewhere between last year's C1 and C2?

Slightly OT but rookie Taponen is getting me slightly less pessimistic about the future of Finnish F1 drivers. Hopefully he can keep this form up. Given that he has only just reached double figures in race starts in cars optimism is very definitely called for. He also has the backing of the Ferrari...
