Pit exit looks pretty dangerous.
The Turnpike section is nuts. A few guys are stuffing it in the wall a few times there this weekend I bet.

I hope Latifi gets through this weekend cleanly.

Fast track, but nothing distinctively "Miami" about it. I was expecting something along the beach or marina, this track could be anywhere.

I think they did a nice job dressing it up, but some of the overhead shots where the neighborhood is very visible are funny. Same with the parking along the canal on the back straight.
Downtown didn’t want the race so a few years ago Ross just decided to make a circuit around his stadium, simple enough. But even then they had proposed using some of 199th Street and had to cut it out for the final layout.

And the fake marina ...

After watching practice yesterday, I took notice of the landscape in and around the track and think they did a very nice job of making it look "pretty". I'm still trying to decide if I like the track itself but I'll wait for the race to see how it will work.

I thought Singapore was unforgiving.
This place is on a whole different level, make a mistake in any fashion, its going in the wall.

That one section right before the backstretch is Mickey Mouse, but the rest of the circuit is a lot like Jedda. If they can bypass that stupid chicane next year thy will have a decent track.
I also don't really care either way about the fake "Marina." With the DRS handicap for following cars, and mandatory "option" tires with built in degradation that "spices up the show," F1 was already fake.

Turnpike section is doing exactly what it was supposed to so far. Might be a Leclerc Imola moment coming in the race tomorrow.

This is turning out to be a squirrely weekend. The Mercs looked great yesterday, but now they are crap. Both Haas cars in the top 10. Fernando fourth! Whacky!
Actually Fernando is not that big of a surprise. The Alpines have the speed to get better results, but just have not executed. The Hass team continues with the good surprises.
Still, what the hell is happening at Mercedes? How did the car go from fastest to 16th overnight?

I think I like the turnpike section, it sure adds something unique to the track. Looking forward to the race tomorrow, F1 is making the most out of the boom in America.

I don’t think P6 and P12 are what Mercedes were looking for.
Red Bull and Ferrari are awfully tight again, should be a good race if they keep it clean at the start. Tricky circuit.

I know damn well JPM wasn't talking on SKY about how to deal with pressure in F1.

At least they aren't losing ground, but very disappointing after George led P2.
The speed is in the Mercedes, that is, when they can unlock it. The car was fast yesterday and junk today. World's fastest rubic's cube.

Yeah, Russell said after Q they’re miffed by it still. The car has an extremely narrow setup window and when it’s not perfect with the conditions it falls to mediocrity pretty quickly. Maybe after heavy rain last night the track will be more in their favor again? They ran the same setups in qualifying as they did on Friday and it sounds as though track evolution caught them out.

Not Martin Brundle mistaking Paolo Banchero for Pat Mahomes

Did Vettel get a grid penalty or did he have an issue at the start?
I had to Google who the first one was.Not Martin Brundle mistaking Paolo Banchero for Pat Mahomes

Fantastic move by Max on the pit straight.
Mick showed some good side-by-side skill on Yuki earlier.

The Astons had some kind of fuel issue, neither made it to the grid and had a pit lane start.

Max was able to follow Charles very closely through the final chicane, I don't think that would've been possible last year.

Waiting for a Safety Car for Latifi crashing in the turnpike section .

Red Bull had tire wear advantage on mediums but Max and Charles are trading fastest laps now on hard tires.
That was too ambitious by Alonso on Gasly.

Way too impatient by Fernando. Even Sato wouldn't have made that move.

That could’ve been terrible.
Fantastic for Russell. Good on him for calling his own strategy.

On the radio he sounded like he killed him.
Ruined his own race as well, was on course to score points for the first time.
