Well now we'll never know because according to some, it would have been too dangerous for the drivers to have to drive a fast out lap. Heaven forbid they have to race one another out of the pits. :wink:

I have been negotiating with God:

-A clean start and the first two laps without accidents: a mass in the church, the timely true confession and communion (I haven't been there for 50 years).

-In addition to the above, if the race does not turn into a crane parade, I will go to church once a month.

- If Alonso wins, with Sainz and Checo behind... I'll sign up for the church choir (it was the hardest part of the negotiation, The Creator didn't give in a bit).

I think I have it all well tied up. If he doesn't comply, he'll know: I'll join the satanic church.

Waiting is killing me...

I don't like Pirellis. I call them in Spanish "Pirellis Piedra" (Pirellis Stone, in English)

I can't see Perez being denied, that RB is just too strong on a Sunday, it would be amazing if Alonso could pull it off though.

What you want is actually a boring race with more or less predictable results. I personally would be much more interested in full blown drama. Cars getting DNFs one a after another, without any drivers getting hurt of course. Podiums for teams that are barely managing to get points. I believe top 4 teams can be denied from results for one race.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Rain nowadays just means red flags galore. On these street tracks with walls, it’s just a nightmare. Can’t see Perez winning this now, unless it dries out.
Red flags galore or DRS train the whole race. I choose the first.

We could have a sensible race where the intervention mechanism is actually consistent with severity of the incident...

I don't mind red flags if there are legitimate issues with the track barriers after a crash. That comes with the territory. It's the over-use in cases where it isn't needed that is the issue.

That's not from this year. Old sponsors for Alpha Tauri.

And that's a Racing Point trailer back there.

Not all the motorhomes are in the Stadium, but this is a bit strange. He retweeted it from Albert Fabrega.

It definitely rained overnight, I just have doubts about that picture. i think I even see some fall leaves in the background (Fall doesn’t exist in south florida, haha). But as some have mentioned about the south florida rains, it could be raining 100m away and sunny where you are. You’ll also see scorching sun one minute, heavy downpour 5 minutes later, then beautiful sunny skies in another 5 minutes.

he retweeted it from another fake account, as far as I can see. Probably better to stay away from this.
