Re: The 2024 USA Miami Grand Prix Thread
Charles Leclerc lost his Ferrari exiting turn 16 and blocked the track.
Red flags were put out and the car was removed from the circuit.
Will this have an impact on his qualifying for the sprint race? We will wait and see.

Re: The 2024 USA Miami Grand Prix Thread
Yuki Tsunoda failed to set a time in Q2 while Daniel Ricciardo exceeded expectations qualifying in position 4.
Lando Norris was the fastest car on the circuit however fastest in Q2 doesn't get you pole.
For some reason, the switch to red softs just didn't work for him.
Even Oscar Piastri was only 2 thousandths of a second faster between the medium and soft compounds.

Re: The 2024 USA Miami Grand Prix Thread
It all started happening even before the race started.
Esteban Ocon had contact with Charles Leclerc in the pit lane and incurred a 10 second penalty for the race.
Alex Albon had a setup change and had to start from pit lane.
Race start and turmoil occurred entering turn 1 when Lewis Hamilton flew into a gap and it became a game of skittles.
Fernando Alonso hit Lance Stroll who then hit Lando Norris. Norris' car war left stranded bringing out the safety car and both Aston Martins limped back to the pits. Alonso returned to the race abet at the rear of the field.
Kevin Magnussen put up a spirited defence of his 8th position however he incurred time penalties from the stewards mainly from leaving the track and gaining an advantage. His over enthusiasm did permit his Haas team mate time to escape the DRS train and claim a deserved 7th place.
Drive of the day had to go to Daniel Ricciardo who finished in 4 place after defending against Carlos Sainz for a dozen or so laps. It was the Daniel of old!

Re: The 2024 USA Miami Grand Prix Thread
Daniel Ricciardo is bringing into this race a 3 place grid penalty from China. His his final run in Q1 was full of errors as he pushed the RB to its limits and failed to progress into the next session.
Both Aston Martins didn't get through the Q2 session.
The temperatures were in the mid 40's C and qualifying tyres struggled to make it through the lap.
