As an announcer, Jack is as exciting as warm rice pudding.
Which is 2000 times better than Danica.
Ooof, I guess I was pretty drunk at 3am or whenever the race ended. “Suzuka”
Well, when you been drinkin, that’s how it pronounced.
When I was back in college, so drunk guy went runnin’ down the halls yelling, “Star Track is on! Star Track is on!”
ESPN had Qualifying all jacked up. Listed on a couple different channels, but none long enough to cover it all. Sure enough, it cut the DVR mid way thru Q2.
Oh well.
ESPN.com will have it on demand assuming you know your cable provider login/password.
If not, YouTube has the official recap of all the sessions. Though they’re only a few minutes long.
A much more boring track than Suzuka, but a much more exciting race! Another Piastri masterclass. I’m really impressed with the top five or so. Plus kimi antonelli really impressed me a few times. The DRS issue was…new. let’s see how Russel gets ruled afterwards
That was a fun race to watch. I suggest that they race there a few more times this year, scratching Las Vegas and Monaco.
Also some pretty good drives from a few of the rookies.
I’ve often wondered exactly how that system works. But I’m always too lazy to study up on it.
There were a lot of technical gremlins in this race; the pit lights for Red Bull, and timing and scoring had issues, too.
Love him or hate him, Verstappen absolutely earned pole position.
I predict that Norris is going to have a very hard time doing any better than 6th. Though maybe if there is a safety car or two, or if Ferrari resorts to plan ‘G’, luck might fall his way.
Best bet, go long and hope for a safety car? Seems like a pretty solid bet one will come out, and the McLaren is reportedly very nice to tires. That, combined with the incredibly short pit lane, could be enough to pick up some places.
Yes, that is probably right though his strategy won’t be wildly off from the top three. On the other hand, if he starts on soft tires he might pick up two or three positions on the start, though I think he will pick up two even if he is on the same tires and everyone else.
An interesting race. Good to see Max’s whiney prickeshness getting the penalty he deserves. He had zero intentions of making that first corner that was clearly Piastri’s.
Some good battles lower down. Norris v ham cones to mind. And Leclerc had a good drive in his 2nd stint.
And Norris did get the two positions on the first lap. Not in the way I imagined, but I am wrong so often I’ll take it.
Miami extended until 2041? WTF? I was hoping that it would go away, and soon.
Ew. Worst grand prix in the Western Hemisphere.
Antonelli becomes the youngest driver to qualify on F1 pole.
I don’t think Miami is all that bad but yeah, 16 more yrs seems waaaaaay too long.
Hey, sn! Your favorite commentator is live on the pre-race show, and she picked her best dirty bedsheet to wear!
Seriously, who dresses this woman???
Oh, I heard her in the background as I was playing Balatro and I wretched a little.
