The significance of LeClerc's lead is quite overblown isn't? It was built in three races, so he can lose it just as quick. He is pretty much one DNF away from being tied with Max.

A bit like before Silverstone last season. Things looked like Verstappen was going to win it quite comfortably but a couple of bad results and Hamilton performing well and it all changes.
If Red Bull have fixed reliability it's overblown.
But if they didn't then it's not. Right now Red Bull would appear more likely to have more DNFs than Ferrari.

I could understand the grandstand but all the general admission too!
Flights already booked, so will wait to see if I a) find a different route to get tickets or b) see what the football fixtures are when released and see if I can get to a game
Not to mention Hamilton driving Verstappen off the track
Agreed - let's hope that it is fixed!
They fecked up with the alerts, I got mine at 6PM and they were sold out, think they went on sale Monday but no one knew about it.
They're up on the official track website but it's limited areas now.

Mercedes’ Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin says the Silver Arrows have made some positive steps before Miami as they look for solutions to the ongoing bouncing issue on their 2022-spec W13.
With Lewis Hamilton finishing the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix P13 and George Russell P4, Mercedes didn’t have the ideal weekend – but as their latest Race Debrief video shows, Imola only emphasised their tyre warm-up issues and perpetuated their porpoising problem. However, Shovlin explains that the team have found small solutions that could be implemented as soon as Miami on May 6-8.
“Being realistic, we think this will be something we approach in steps rather than one big moment where the whole thing [porpoising] vanishes, but we are seeing encouraging signs.
“We are hoping to bring parts to the car soon, maybe even Miami, where we can hopefully see progress on this issue.
“Lots of people are suffering with this problem and we know that lifting the car is a way of alleviating it. A lot of the work that is going on in Brackley has been to understand the phenomenon and whether we can actually control it, whether we can engineer it out of the car.”

Really appreciate this!! Got our tickets from the site. Did you get hold of some yourself?
Shame it wasn’t done correctly through the site, won’t trust that again!
Guess who's back
Ahh, to be honest it's one of those Grand Prix's I'd love to experience just to see the atmosphere of the Tifosi with a competitive Ferrari car. Probably up there with the atmosphere of a Superclásico.
Hopefully any upgrades they try in miami will work. Won't fix porposing entirely, but will confirm they are headed in the right direction. You really dont want Mercedes level porposing going to Monaco (after spainish gp).
Hopefully they can close that gap in Miami.
Monaco ? I did read that the Merc is maybe the fastest in corners and should do well in Monaco, maybe that was before the shit show of Imola.
Haven’t booked it yet as we’re looking at packages as well. Plenty of flights going but accommodation is bit of a struggle. Have you found somewhere to stay?
Expecting to see that thing bouncing all the way down that long straight in Miami.
Hopefully not as much.
Ah congrats man, I’m jealous, did Monza in 2007 and it was absolutely amazing, you’ll have such a great time.
We booked a hotel in Milan next to the central station. Just a 20 min train to Monza and there are shuttle buses between the Monza station and track (apparently) if needed.
You looking at staying in Monza? The hotels in Milan are not too expensive (for a major city and we did book about a month ago) but if accommodation is hard to come by or you struggle with packages, that is an option.
Looking forward to it. Only ever done Silverstone back in 2014 previously so was due a trip! Will be my brother’s first race too. Ferrari 1 2 please (Carlos I am looking at you!!)
Did it once back in 2003 to see Schumacher win over Montoya. It was mental two drivers on the absolute limit. Howling V10's and threaded tires, refuelling and some good old grid girls. Plus the place was absolutely rocking you will have a great time with Ferrari finally being competitive again. Enjoy this.
Florida things
Haha. How ridiculousFlorida things
WTF a fake Marina !!!
Just why, do they just want a Monaco look a like track.

Worth a watch. The trackside facilities for miami gp. Monaco really isnt going to be the 'glamour' event in F1 for long now. Miami and Las Vegas will give it a run for its money.
I like to go on cycles but the pavement in many places where I live is uneven and I end up almost comically bouncing up and down on my bike. My helmet is a little lose and it repeatedly knocks of my head. I'm bouncing along like an eejit.
Now I simply pretend I'm a Ferrari. It does done wonders for my confidence.

Without fail every Monday after a race whether I’m on my bike or I’m walking, I can’t stop myself from hearing Crofty and Brundle commentate on my overtaking other people for pretty much my whole commute. I’m never late to work on those days.
Pathetic
That straight - could you imagine the bouncing
Two long straights into slow corners - expect lots of DRS overtakes.
Important for F1 to establish itself in the US market so the facilities look good, more entertainment areas than grandstands though so they’ll be milking that side of things. Interesting the big 4 teams have their own areas.

That Rammstein song Amerika is absolutely fitting. What a place.
Quality. Günther could easily be a GTA character.

VW CEO stating it confirming Porsche and Audi deciding to enter F1.
Not sure how accurate the below is, though.

Fairly accurate I would say, I read a month back that this was likely to happen (below). McLaren bid needed some work doing but now we've got some CEO confirmation I would say it's highly likely we'll see it this transpire.
i'll believe it when i see it with my lying eyes
I hope they don't remove the Mclaren name? I assume it'll be Mclaren-Volkswagen until the point they enter by themselves.
How is Guenther Steiner not everyone's favourite person in F1? The guy is pure gold.
Also, 7pm on Sunday couldn't be a more perfect time for a grand prix. I will have long since despatched the gf back to her place by then. Lovely.

WTF
you know what it means by the way it makes you feel. don’t fight it. it would be nice to see someone throw something up the insides of verstappen with gay abandon for once imo.
He said its not a fit for VW, it will be Audi and Porsche.
I would have thought McLaren was worth more than the 500m quoted above but then the car business does have some big problems. I hope the name doesn't doesn't disappear and at the same time it would be good to have Audi back as a standalone team after all these years. So really they should stay separate
Yeah I can't see Mclaren allowing a full take over. It'll be a partnership of some sort until they can buy themselves fully into f1 as a standalone team.He said its not a fit for VW, it will be Audi and Porsche.

Audi have missed the boat imo. Think 2 or 3 years back mclaren bite their hand off for that, not anymore, the teams are much stronger financially, even haas and Williams.
