LET'S GO LANDO!
I'm still not a huge fan of the Miami GP, especially when there are so many great (non Grade One) tracks in the eastern US. Still, this was a very good race and had a lot of good action.
Pour one out for the pylon.

SUPER happy LeClerc got the W at Monaco. A Monegasque winning his home race - especially after all the horrible luck he's had the past few years - was truly remarkable and emotional.
Lucky second start gave certain people a second chance!
Very happy for the results...especially Charles in his home land...Lots of tears I saw.
I think it might be time for Kevin Mag to be let go?...I'm sure Checo would not object

BONUS! The whole race was on regular TV ...ABC I think.
So it looks like America has finally picked it up as a Sport the masses love!
Not just the Americas races like it used to.

Even Prince Albert got in on the fun.
I can't believe the stewards dismissed that "racing incident".I think it might be time for Kevin Mag to be let go?...I'm sure Checo would not object
Monaco has been on regular TV lots of times. I remember seeing it on "Wide World of Sports" multiple times. And that show started in1961.
Montreal Baby!! Rain? Ugh....made some interesting challenges and perhaps gave other teams a better advantage over others. Slip sliding away!
Lando really is the man to watch....I see champion of the future.
Ferrari....What happened?
Max is unstoppable....Good on ya!
Checo....cough cough....Come on, man!
Well..Great results for many and entertaining race.
Felt bad for the spectators and the HEAVY rain

George’s lap 68(?) pass of Ham was ballzy. He and Lando are the next men up. Nice to see the front rows changing up a little.
So happy for George too....He put on a great show...Put a big smile on Toto's face!
Best race of the season, IMO. Changeable conditions leveled the playing field a bit, made for some great racing and always elevates the results for a "driver" vs the car.
Great battle early on between Lewis and Alonso! (See my comments above about great drivers vs. great cars!)

He struggled with that safety car / pit but it really looks to me like he’s the better MB driver today.
Ferrari is learning that Mattia was not the problem and I’m not sure Lewis is going to fix anything for them especially with the next gen car. But it’s fun to watch the churning.
It will be interesting to see what Lewis brings to the table. He’s been on the inside of one of, if not “the”, best run teams in modern F1 and from the outside looking in, I believe, he’s more involved in how the place runs and car development than your average driver.
If true, and if Ferrari is willing to shake things up (not sure they have the ability to do this, as tradition-bound as the Scuderia is), I think Lewis’ value is greater off the track and at the factory than on it. If he can bring some Toto-level discipline to Ferrari (especially to its race-strategy team) he’ll be worth every penny.
I'm not sure the Scuderia works that way. What's Lewis' favorite pasta dish?
I’m not sure they do, either.
But, at some point, they are going to get tired of losing due to what has for years appeared to be an inept pit wall. They make fast cars, but lose everywhere else on race weekend, and I don’t think Ross Brawn and Jean Todt are heading back to right the ship.
Sebastian Vettel didn't seem to have a positive effect on getting the most out of the team, so I don't think driver input is highest on their priority list for how to get the best out of the cars.
