  • Didn't realize how insanely tight parts of the Miami track are.

    The first lap could be a decimation.

    I would have thought they should be able to get themselves sorted out by
    the time they reach the 14/15/16 complex. Turn 1 looks a bit like Bahrain
    to me.

    You'd hope...

    ...but time will tell.

    Decimation?
    What a weird word.
    From a fucking weirdo.

    The circuit scared me, just sitting at home, but the track 'responded' to aggressive driving. It's one of those circuits that will crash you if you pussyfoot.

    Interesting that Britain's Alice Powell (in W Series) said she really liked the track.

    I have to admit, the track pretty much worked.

    Turns 14, 15 and 16 didn't do anything to improve the racing, and I hope
    they find a way to do something better there next year.

    But the sight lines weren't bad, and once the drivers came to understand
    where they couldn't afford to put it too far wrong, the actual racing
    was pretty good.

    Yeah, good racing. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
    Intense racing between Max and Charles trading laps versus tyre wear. Great stuff. And some great racing all through the field. Even Stroll had a battle climbing through the field.
