I'm a McLaren fan so I'll take anything you got on them!

Me too. They got the worst hospitality space of all the teams lol

Mercedes/Ferrari

Then technically Red Bull

Then McLaren

Just watching this f1 today show, it’s too bad they don’t have the track come through the stadium like they do in Mexico. It’d be cool if there was a straightaway right through it.

Tbh they actually could but you couldn’t overtake and it’s a very high speed corner coming out the East side. They’d have to remodel that exit/loading Dock to make it work

I'm wondering how much work would be needed to prep the surface.

A lot honestly. They have like a month to get rid of the Miami Open tennis court, pave the track and then get it ready. But since the actual Paddock is inside the stadium on the field area, it’s more likely that wouldn’t even happen

 

[amitt5504]

Also since this is Niketalk, there’s some Solefly F1Mia AF1s they got selling in the F1Mia store. Only 100 pairs and 1 size 9

What do they look like?

Just like the Nobu ones...

 

[haicheo]

The originality is off the charts!

 

[usabasketball08]

Yea. I’m all over the venue since I do IT so I have access to “mostly” everything

How are the crowds compared to last year?

How are the crowds compared to last year?

From a capacity standpoint, Day 1 was similar to last year. Not many people were here for the entire day and basically just showed up for FP1 and left after FP2

I’ve heard less ppl complain about not having shade/water

 

[Sinner]

FUUUUUUUUUUUU.

 

[amitt5504]

Still the world’s fastest brick

Lando's lap was slower than his FP2 lap... quite bizarre. Maybe track temps related. Hope it's more optimized for the race.

Doubt it. They have the Porsche series going before and other drivers are obliterating the times. Crazy that the slowest lap in Q1 would still be the record for fastest lap

 

[Sinner]

It's different for every car tho. Some cars just have a smaller temp operating window.
I'm hoping that's the case anyway.

You know things are bizarre when Lewis is out in Q2.

French GP all over for Chuck.

On the Sky Pre-Quali, they were just interviewing Fred Vasseur and asking him about Charles' mistakes!

 

[dragicon]

Danica Patrick’s interviews were terrible last year… this year you’d think she’d be better or replaced…. Nope, just as bad.

 

[Sinner]

I thought Danica's questions were ok, but felt that her interviews went on way too long.
