So a Haas and a Mercedes were fighting it out for position... and Magnussen came out on top for P9 against Lewis...

Mercedes PUs definitely came out the worst with the switch to E10. Maybe the sidepodless design can overcome the low power but they just lack down force overall, probably due to the ride height to overcome the porpoising. Not sure there is an easy fix for that one. That being said, George can make the car 3rd best on the grid so maybe it was just a bad weekend for Lewis.So a Haas and a Mercedes were fighting it out for position... and Magnussen came out on top for P9 against Lewis...

I was thinking about the podless side pods on the Mercedes, wouldnt the lack of controlled air flow make the rear tires that much more of a drag?
Im no Newey, but that just seems like an air dam, at least with Ferraris bath tub, they can aim the air flow.
But all the Mercedes engines are near the bottom anyways, so maybe they got it wrong.
And the ride height thing, I think Lewis said in an interview they can raise the car to fix the bounce, but then you loose the ground effects, so it wont actually fix things.

This is going to be a straight development fight between RBR and Ferrari all season long, which worries me as a tifoso.

This is a beautiful, beautiful thing that has been missing for too long.
I'd like to see more teams get closer.

Prob not, but Ferrari's seems to have gotten worse in Melbourne so it's probably circuit specific, and maybe not the only problem they're chasing. Lewis did have to back off due to overheating, and it wasn't really that hot of a race.Sainz
Did Mercedes fix their porpoising?

My boy Sainz is not catching any luck right now and Leclerc's unforced error was such a wrong time. Ferrari finding ways to lose the chip once again!
LH looks like he has no idea how to drive a bad car either.

Really sucks to see, but Sainz really needs to pull himself together.

Of course in hindsight he Leclerc probably shouldn't have gone banzai to possibly gain 3 pts, but he was also lucky that it only cost 7 points instead of 15.My boy Sainz is not catching any luck right now and Leclerc's unforced error was such a wrong time.

Sainz and Alonso both need some luck
Merc and Haas fighting it out again... crazy times.

Are these the virtual pictures where it wasn't clear how the boats would get in?

How do you get Americans to like F1? Make it Americanized...Miami in F1 still feels so weird to me right now.

Lando's helmet is pretty cool: https://www.reddit.com/gallery/uizhrj
If you think Miami is going to make F1 Americanized, wait till you see what happens in Las Vegas...

Well, I caught the first lap before the mother's day intensity ramped up. Seemed like a bit of a parade out there?

They already Americanized it with the Jersey Shore of motorsports, Drive To Survive.

Was actually better than expected. Sainz actually held it together for the entirety of the race
