Formula One finally arrived in Miami. Was it as bad as the pessimists thought? No.
Was it as good as Liberty hoped? Also no.
But it was an interesting day, and it showed that traffic will be a major issues tomorrow in qualifying.
Russell lead FP2 as Verstappen had trouble, Sainz crashed again, Leclerc and Pérez ran conservative engine modes. Has Merc found something? Or were the others just taking it slow?
And how can anyone make a prediction when no one could muster a race sim longer than 5 laps?

I organized everything I shared here on Imgur regarding motorsports so far: https://imgur.com/a/6lToMDG




As usual, kudos to LAT Images, Getty Images, DPPI, Motorsport Images, Sutton Images, and XPB Images, and especially to the amazing F1 photographers' corps. Although they are too many to name, their talents are appreciated and loved.
And also thanks to McLaren Racing, Red Bull Media House, Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Ltd., Williams Racing, Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN, Haas F1 Team, and Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team.
Without them, our work would look so much poorer.

Also, we have a Discord server where we talk F1, other motorsports, culture, music, movies, and all sorts of things. We are opening it up slowly to people (we have a couple of people from the ping list in it), and it is a fun place to be, especially if you want to chat during events. If you want in or want more info, let me know. The more, the merrier.
I believe we are striving for something pretty great, and it will take great people to make that vision come true. We are currently are a few dozen and, so far, everyone is really enjoying a place to chat about sports without animosity, tribalism, etc. If it sounds like something you would enjoy, come join us.

The pinged names asked to be notified. If you dig F1 photos and a bit of F1 writing, let me know and I will add you to the list.

You can ‘follow’ my account to get an alert if a post hits FP, but you can also be pinged as it is posted.

And the mess of qualifying is coming tomorrow.

I'm surprised with how it's going so far

I am as well. Other than the bit between T12 and the back straight (breaks the flow a bit), I really like the track. Race should be great
