2024 Miami Grand Prix - Miami Intl. Autodrome, May 03 - 05

Norris as always not finishing hot laps in practice.

Glad that someone else noticed this. I haven't seen a single FP where Norris finishes his S3 on the final soft run. As if hiding a big secret. It's childish.

Lol I didn’t realize this was s habit of his but i do remember seeing him doing that at least on another weekend. What were his first 2 sector tmes?

I know this discussion is ongoing but for me it seems tv wants a new points system.
For example Williams has made a mess of their development they finally have a spare car.
If it is that bad with their company and the mess they made over all these years with all these investors its time to call quits

I've been advocating for increased point allocations for a long time. Given how reliable cars are nowadays, I think giving points all the way down to P15 would even be viable, though certainly P12 would be an improvement on things now.

I come from the perspective that 'points systems' are literally only there as a record of performance, so we can accurately rank who did better over a season. Others seem to have this idea that 'points' have some extra mystical importance and that giving them to lower finishers ruins this, and simply dont care whether it's a good system for judging performance over a season or not for lower end teams.

I dont agree at all , teams who dont score points will dissappear more quickly , its not like soccer when you can be demoted to a different division.
If teams cant fight for points they shouldnt be in f1 or come back scoring. Otherwise it would be a useless competition because if they still get points for bad results they will just change owners (investor companies) who do not inevest but just cash in on the points won that year.

Amateur error. Wasted his session now so straight into sprint quali.

At least he’s consistent

Rumours it’s Logan sergeants last weekend racing

Do Williams even have a reserve driver? I know they have Jamie Chadwick as development driver, but I'm not sure they'd entrust him with the job.

Her.

And no they wouldn't, they have other juniors... Colapinto and another guy in F2.
They'd probably acquiesce to Toto and give Antonelli the car though.

But not being 18 is pretty simple, isn't !?
How come there now can be asked for dispensation?

It's a show/entertainment.

Leclerc and Alonso touched the wall exiting T16.

McLaren have the fastest car.. so Norris to crash in SQ3?

[AR3-GP]

Andrea Stella was smiling after Norris did that lap. Interesting...

[Luscion]

Seems like Merc might be out in SQ2

[DGP123]

Seems like Merc might be out in Q2

Car is a dog. Going out in Q2 is not unusual, especially with reduced set up time.

Didn't Mercedes bring upgrades?

[Hoffman900]

Some upgrade, eh?

Max: "I have no grip. There's no grip on the rear. Something weird is going on."

Yup, new floor fences
