2024 Formula One Thread: Miami GP - 5/5 4pm

To be fair we haven’t really been in a situation where Perez has clearly been faster than Max and they can both fight. I don’t think Checo would willingly lay down tho.

 

Rb powertrains will stop in 2026 when the new PUs are introduced. Porsche and Audi won’t start supplying engines until then. They are developing for 2026 regs not now. Too far behind. Honda still owns their IP so if they wanted to come back earlier, it would be easier since they are using their current engine.

 

Yours was a short that just shows up as a link. Most people skip those.

 

I like the random mclaren dude at the fence for Carlos

 

Yeah things got really heated in the garage it sounds like. Read a few articles from Italy earlier and initially everyone except Carlos direct team refused to go celebrate. Binotto has shown the ability to engineer a great car but zero ability to manage the personalities of a team

 

Happy for Carlos, don’t see a ton of race wins in his future

 

Binotto making it so much worse by not just admitting they made a mistake and that they’ll do better next time…it’s always the cover up and the fact that they keep doubling down means that this isn’t over yet

 

Austria week. The birthplace of last lap Lando two years ago. These were the first two F1 races I ever watched (mainly because I was jonesing for sports during the pandemic) and it hooked me. Also the main reason I became a papaya and Lando fan.

 

Lewis not holding back

 

Don’t forget it’s a sprint weekend. Quali tmrw sprint Saturday

 

If/when Mercedes get their car right it’s going to be just as spicy as last year.

 

We’re already bored with Ferrari sorry Bankz

 

You guys sound like addicts that have been too long without a fix

 

Accurate on all accounts.

 

Fwiw I think Lewis was throwing shade at his pit stop when he said "driver." That's how I took it.

 

FYI… but Friday practice & qualifying are being broadcast on ESPNU. Never seen it on that channel before.

 

F1tv is worth it. I keep telling you guys

 

Assuming many people don't have ESPNU, re: CC Nole's post above.

 

Who doesn't have ESPNU?

 

I don't have cable, so at least me. Is ESPNU standard fare for cable packages?

 

No YTTV or anything? If you have ESPN, you have ESPNU.

 

The internet. For live, I think it's f1livegp or something. If I miss, I wait half an hour after the Quali or Race concludes and then go to f1full or r/MotorsportReplays.

 

Nada. I pay for Disney+ but not the big bundle thing to get any ESPN. As above, for any sport I want to watch, the internet provides, for she is a bountiful lover.

 

This is very untrue

 

Is it? My bad. It's always come with espn for me.

 

It's something like 99% of ESPN users get ESPN2 but just under 75% get ESPNU

 

100% agree.

 

ESPN+ commentators or streamed Bri'ish commentators (typically Sky), tough choice

or muted, always an out.

 

Expected Russell to stop next to him with a fire hose

 

Mclarens drs flap flexing pretty significantly

 

Max just eating sector 1 alive

 

Full statement if anyone wants to read

 

Max looks very fast, and also pissed that everyone is in his way

 

Valterri takes his 4th PU. Will start at the back of the grid on race day (I believe pu penalty Carries over the race not sprint)

 

Mclaren woof
