Fair.
That's rough. Doesn't seem to be a drastic update, but still.
I like Lewis
I am happy to rank all 20 drivers in terms of how much I like them
It's been really bad with the info this quali for some reason 😂
I feel like it is always consistently pretty poor but was particularly noticeable today.
It's really shocking how bad they are at just showing accurate information. MultiViewer has been kind of essential for that for me.
He did, but the first lap in softs was horrendous. Oversteer and understeer in the same car.
Yeah but his first run on the softs was trash. He did a 1.27.6 in Q2 on the softs
It was less about the improvement itself, more about him starting on mediums tomorrow.
I've forever had issues with getting synch to work properly with Multiviewer and I actually don't like some of their layouts all that much so I've had to slum it with the shitty web based F1TV solution
I miss that feeling of excitement I used to get watching F1.
I watch, but it feels like I'm just going through the motions.
It's not Red Bull or Verstappen's fault. It's just not exciting.

B..b..but did you see Tom Brady in the paddock eating $400 nachos?!
I've seen enough Tom Fucking Brady in my life to never want to see that guy's Kryten-esque face again.
It just seems like such a "dead" event. Very low energy from everyone. The drivers don't seem to care for the track because the feel of the cars seems to change every session, the commentators are subdued and puzzled because they aren't understanding how the cars look so dramatically different from session to session, and the venue seems deserted from most of these aerial shots.
It almost looks like a COVID lockdown event.

The aston martins looked awful. Its hard not to feel a nervous about their upgrades taking a similiar trajectory to last year, where they just gradually made the car more and more undrivable.
For now I'll just file it under having only 1 FP and Alonso doing zero soft tyre running and struggling to find a good setup.

There's something weird about this track in quali. With Academy as well we had 3 quali sessions now where it suddenly became a lot harder for cars to set good times when the track was supposed to be at its fastest.
It is very warm, don't know if the tires are simply getting overheated.
And yes Miami is just pretty bad in general. Looks boring and tacky with the fake marina and the races always turn into DRS trains.
Thinking about Miami is probably the worst track that has been added to the calender since Liberty took over.

Yes, the tyres are very prone to overheating here. They can get cooked in a couple of corners. Careful outlaps and not pushing too hard early seem to be key. Cars that are good at warming up tyres fast especially seem very finicky.
Also it doesnt help that the off line parts of the track look super dusty.
From what Norris was saying, the red tyres don't even hold up after a couple of corners. In their case. So weird to see people choose yellow tyres for qualy, haha. Anyway, I guess Max was surprised again today that he got pole. Not sure i'm a big fan of this track either, actually.
I'm pretty much expecting a snoozefest of a race, but I hope to be proven wrong.
I just think the track is inherently difficult to overtake on, and this year the tyre overheating seems very extreme as well which will result in everyone managing constantly. Also the quali outcome is pretty boring, pretty much no one outside of Alonso is out of place. Crazy ass KMag made the sprint entertaining but I doubt he'll risk a race ban to do the same for the GP, lol.

Overtaking actually isn't bad here. It was in the top half of tracks in 2022 for example.
And it was #4 overall in 2023:

Overtakes alone doesn't make for a great race unfortunately. Barcelona is pretty much always one of the most boring tracks because of the same issue. Long DRS trains with very similar overtakes.
Miami is one of those tracks that needs some chaos to have a good race. In 2022 there was a lot with Ferrari and in 2023 Max had to fight his way through the field.
This time everyone is qualified close to where their car is probably going to be. So unless we have some crazyness, I don't think a lot will happen.
You're forgetting about DR3 down in P20!
But yes I agree on the overtaking not making it a great race. The track itself though generally has a lot of them is all I'm saying.
Haha true, I did forget about that. Maybe if he is actually just on it now, he can bring some entertainment. He is right behind KMag so that alone should bring some chaos, lol.
