The Official Formula One Thread!
More than once
The 8 entries were whittled down to 4 post-quali. The race start was ... well, interesting...rolling vs grid box standing start. The software algo's were weighted towards collision detection/avoidance. So fits of confusion and resets. Scheduled race length was 8 laps, shortened to 7laps. (Good RD decision! ) There were no collisions. That was encouraging. The leader spins - a pass for the lead. After a Red Flag and more resets, a restart, a pass for the lead on the last lap (which was a bit daring). And the German team wins. Big drone exhibition and super fireworks show followed.

The Ferrari Cavalcade just had their first event in Nashville this morning. They are in the area a few days before heading to Miami for GP weekend.
Quite the showing headed that way for whoever is there.

The Official Formula One Thread!
IG or F1
The end is nigh for one or the other... @LifeofSteiner is live now... "Once Red Bull and Mercedes decide what they want to do with their open seats, Carlos could be in the frame." The MIA GP missive dropped onto formula1.com https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/a...ZfyWbR0jZIucHQ And AM filed a "Right of Review" re: the ALO penalty in China. Mostly to kill the penalty points ALO got then. Don't really see any new element, but 08:00 in Stewards Office @MIA to plead their case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Without Max and Newey? I wouldn't bet on that team from 2026.
However, they will still win in 2025, because then Max will be in Newey's car. That's why I don't think it's an option for Max to change in 2025, one year before the new rules/cars. IMO it would be pointless, since then he can not know who will be good from 2026. Therefore, in my opinion, I would bet that they will land with the same team in 2026, with the only difference being that Newey will be there a year earlier. |

They need to see him holding up the middle finger on Instagram.
In any case at least there’s some excitement! I’m not sure what to make of quali yesterday but glad Yuki made Q3 and seemed to think the car could do better than he could get from it. |

The hidden objective:
"Those cheeky guy who still dare to compete must be humiliated as mercilessly as possible and, if necessary, punished until he is tired of still thinking he is some kind of a racecar driver." |

Post some pics when you can! I'm jealous that you're at a race. I hope you get the best Cubano sandwich of your life!

Free pit stop for Lando, wrongly sent safety car on the track, trying to help SAR, just so that it is not his fault that he is causing another accident in his home race... while SAI can knock someone else off the track, because it is not a problem. Well, I think the decisions will get weirder race by race. And it's all less and less about racing.
Nevertheless, the competition was interesting and at least not boring. But it wasn't fair, and that's regardless of the fact that Lando deserved a win a long time ago. And maybe that's why it was strange that he couldn't really be happy about it. |

However Lando got it, he got it! Team Papaya! Happy days for him & a well deserved top step on the podium. Listening to Max complain about understeer made me smile. Shadenfraude, I guess :)

SAR was hit by MAG. Not SAR's fault. SAI was penalized. SC couldn't pick up leader because that was NOR - and NOR entered pitlane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Very happy with this result and happy to see Lando win.
Going to be adding to my TUMI McLaren luggage I think! |
