So a film crew filming with a fake team from Silverstone onwards seems really lame, wonder if it'll just be for the free practices or will they be in the race too

Starting grid should make what might have been a boring race VERY interesting.
Possible Perez taking the lead on the drivers championship.

Should be fun. Rare mistake by Max. LeClerc pushed his car probably 1% past its limit. He was probably on his way to pole
Checo doesn't have the best starts, so this could be a good race for Alonso!
How disappointing for Hamilton, yikes

Wow what a move by Max
What I notice about the redbull at this track when you’re on board the car sounds like it’s still revving up and has more to give when it’s flat out touching the top speeds whereas when you ride along with other cars it’s basically bouncing off the rev limiter at the end of the straight

Miami track is cool, and they had like 270K people there over the weekend, which is preposterous

I actually really like the Miami track | It was a weird vibe, even though there was a lot of action, it just didn't seem very engaging. Maybe I was just distracted.

The only thing exciting about yesterday's race was Max' movement through the field. Once Checo pitted for the hards and I saw that he wasn't making any immediate gains on Max when they were new, and in fact started losing time to Max that was pretty much "Max has it in the bag, this race is over" and I fast forwarded the race from there, watched the pass, and then stopped watching.
As much as I want some more competition, gotta give credit where it's due for the ruthless dominance.
I think he was making a little bit of a statement with this picture:

He also set the fastest lap on lap 30 or so of the first set of tires
It’s obviously easier to set a fast lap when there’s no one in front of you, but still impressive both in terms of the cars performance and the driver

the way max moved through the field we knew was going to happen. he had DRS the whole time and the fastest car out there. no surprise it happened.
what was impressive was making the hard tires last as long as he did and still putting down fastest laps right to the end.
ok race otherwise....some decent fights back through the pack through atleast. better than Baku atleast

The thing that surprised me the most is how hard of a time Leclerc had with passing Kmag. He should be dispatching cars but he wasn't and I think it hurt his standings. Though.... I'm not sure the Ferrari had it to pass the Mercedes. Similar to last year Ferrari has a lot of quali pace, but race pace is lacking.

My wife is in Vegas right now at the Belagio and they are advertising 4 day grandstand ticket packages for $2800
That’s dependant on having accommodations at the Belagio though lol and they don’t give you pricing on the room rates
