Max gets DotD. Tip of the hat to Russell and Leclerc.George is a bloody good driver but he didn't do anything noteworthy at Miami (other than getting
the rub of the green yet again).
My DOTD is Leclerc (just) for pushing Verstappen (who was in the faster race car) right to the end.

Um, ever heard of a joke ?
There was a message from RUS to the pits a few laps before the incident
that was along the lines of ~"Should we just stay on the hards in case there's a safety car?", to which the pit concurred with a simple "affirm",
or similar.
So yes, he was very much in full control of his tyre strategy at that
point, and that investment paid off handsomely.
Which contrasts him against Lewis' ~"I don't know, that's your job"
in response to a question about whether he wanted to change tyres
several laps into the safety car period.
However, much as I think his strategic smarts,Ehhh.... He asked a question to which the answer was obvious to the engineer who had access to the

Reread the thread. He stated GR caused the red flag.
Then when corrected he repeated his "joke".
Nah, he was serious. Sadly.
Good of you though.

For once Alan is right.
How could anybody, however insane, think that RUS somehow caused the
'red flag' incident (oops safety car, yes), and similarly imagine that
my comment was anything other than a joke ?!!
Hey...
...with the ignorance so commonly on display in this group, I thought it
was possible.
See... that was a joke.
