The race felt so boring to watch because crofty doesn't give a shit for anything other than a move for p1.

I recommend you contact fanatec, trakracer, asetek, moza and all the other simracing brands for some sponsorship.

we need social media team championship

@@thanosr7418 WTF1 would claim copyright.

Escaped with the bag as well

😂😂😂

sadly his best carreer move after joining RBR

As an Australian mclaren fan... this truth hurts so bad.

Wish it wasn't true but it is

Bwoah

"For WHAT?! I am not doing it, I will be sitting in the car"

We’d have a repeat of him missing the Pele’ appearance

He would miss it because he was having a s***

Well that’s impossible because he wouldn’t have been in those introductions. It would have been, “Here are 19 of the worlds best drivers!”

That was AMAZING

Meanwhile Alonso is watching the race on the screens around the track 🤣

Thas was great wasn't it

Alonso out here pulling the Jean Girard (Talladega Nights) 😂 hes so fucked, gotta love him ❤

Did you see the jet boat race? Big upgrade indeed

​@@i.r.4378 I believe it was a Yuki boat.

@@aaronrigg5208 It sure was and I want to ride one too

this didn't age well

@@hsmith777 why? checo is awful and right now hes the likely guy to end up replacing him.

this. people keep forgetting that it was not fun to watch 2 cars drive 30-50 seconds clear of the rest of the field with a midfield that was not competitive. Atleast now we dont have a clear back marker (mayby Alpha Tauri?) with 15 cars within 1 second in qualifing and fight all trough the midfield. Mercedes is fighting Ferrari again. Alonso beeing between the red bulls and the merc/fer battles is fun to watch to. If you just root for 1 driver/team, the sport gets boring very fast. But root for another team aswell. I am a Verstappen fan as a Dutchie so i enjoy his fvight with Perez. But i also am old enough to enjoy the new rise of Alonso and root for him to. I also keep an eye on Williams as a legacy team and having fun to see Albon bring that team back into the midfield and not be a back marker anymore.

The fact that the mercedes dominance era was boring doesn't change the fact that this era is also boring

@@AzureKite you did not read my entire comment. i gave reasons why this season is not as boring as merc dominating seasons. Because alot more is happening on the track. And i see this more as the hamilton/rosberg season where there is fighting at the front (eventough Max mic dropped Perez 2 times comming from halfway down the field to the podium). But the hamilton and his pet Bottas where truly boring seasons with no fights in the mid field. Now we have a season with no clear back marker team and plenty of fights in the midfield

​@@ronniebots9225 Youre absolutely right there, I believe most of these people just havent watched F1 back when it was just a Merc show, just dont want to see Max win or are just complaining because thats what people do. Max could win from 20th again and people would say it was a boring race. The most people saying 'X race was boring' mean 'im upset because my favorite driver didnt win.'

@@ronniebots9225 The Verstappen and Perez fight is not close. Perez started off last season with pace much more similar to Verstappen and as the season unfolded and the car was tweaked over time, he dropped further and further back. There's no reason to assume anything other than the same thing happening this season. Never mind the fact that the only races Checo can consistently outpace Verstappen are street circuits. It's nice that Perez has hung with him well so far but he realistically has no chance at taking the championship without Verstappen having a ton of bad luck and some huge mistakes as well. This is nothing like Hamilton and Rosberg.

It showed that race was boring.

It’s just 57 laps in a circle then verstappen wins. 2021 was awesome, but 7 years before that it was 57 laps of Hamilton winning.

name 3 battles?

​@Garry Long then look at a quite close midfield battle. There isn't just one car going round

​@@whitewolf8051 if you have to settle for the midfield for your entertainment, your series is boring.

@Garry Long yes it was... every race is a certain amount of laps in a circle and then a driver winning. Every race in 2021 was just 300 km of laps in a circle and then Max or Lewis won.

Yeah, there were interesting overtakes and fights. However, the circuit does not really flow well imo. Most overtakes took place in the same corner so that is not ideal.

You’re brain dead if you found that entertaining.

I Enjoyed it to bad the BackMarkers didn’t get any action

I enjoyed watching Max overtaking everybody until lap 15.

F1 a dead sport

Well, it's pretty hard to be worse than last years.

Did we watch the same race?

​@@Simon-cv7iq yeah this was one of the better races this year. I was not a miami fan, but this race was solid.

@@duuudde12 One of the worst camera directing I've seen in a minute, while I'm literally watching guys close the gap where the times are shown, I kept yelling that they should switch frames, they were filming irrelevant nonsense. Terrible work. Overall it was a poor race too, nothing surprising, the only overtaking zone for the most part was in the DRS zone, F1 needs to fix this honestly.

@@hakshustletv nah m8. It's already turning into european indycar. But i agree that they sometimes made poor choices with what they showed.on track.. but a poor race ? 55 overtakes, back n forth battles. This race was better than 80% of the races the past 5 years.

The rookies really haven't been having any luck this year on their home circuits

The overtakes where almost all drs though which isn't exciting

yeah mid field was good. Gazman was awesome to cheer for. Then Kmag was sticking it to them. Max coming thru. the McLs imploding. HAM coming thru at the end. Was a good race, they feel about 20 laps too long to me. About lap 50 you can see from the first stint what the orders going to be.

@@Kieran_OPCall overtakes are always DRS

He's not British, so I'm afraid you won't find that sentiment here unfortunately. But it is what it is. History will remember

@@skeletonmodel Max has more British fans than Lewis does. Don’t let F1 media fool you for a second.

He does get it, but its the same as Ham drives earlier in the hybrid era. "overtake" = just going 40kph delta on a straight and you get the position. How good was he vs how bad was Perez? No one actually knows, all we know is that it isn't too interesting. Like everyone knows Ham is a legend (except hater kids) and the same with Ver. But we want to see them fight for it, when they have an amazing car + beeing great driver, it just isnt much racing and just sunday drives for P1. We were just spoiled from 2021 and early 2022 with these mega battles for P1, now its just breezing pass everyone.

Magnussen activated DRS later which made it look like a breeze

Yup and Charles got a bad exit defending. Max read the situation and set himself up correctly.

I will have to warn you that your comment will trigger a lot of people. But yes, very clear. Perez was nowhere in the same car

@@skeletonmodel Kinda sad for the people who genuinely thought Perez has a chance against Max this season.

ΗΛHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i am dying. Yeah sure mate. Redbull has 20 kmph more than other cars with drs active keep telling yourself it’s crushtappen

He made me damn proud today.

His best ever win imo

Agreed. Simply lovely

@@jacob2808 Better than COTA 2021?

@suckieduckie oooh that is a shout tbf, but I think this one just edges it out

Because of Max lol

@@Lanse1984 no, the overtakes and the pure racing from the other drivers were quite decent as well

@@jasonhenry9440 DRS overtakes are great racing? Everyone who made an overtake all pretty much flew past or gained stupid amounts of ground to make the overtake

​@@CaravaggioRMS reminder that 2012 was an anomaly season. F1 always had and will always have a single dominant team, while the rest struggle to compete.

@@joshuawhelan9358 A lot of overtakes were genuine wheel to wheel action. I feel like the FIA got the DRS just about right for this one it gave them enough speed to get close in the corner and then overtake them. Most of Hamilton's overtakes were in the corners because that merc's got the aero of a G-wagon going down the straight. Been watching since 2018 overall I feel this was a decent race we had some suspense about the win and potential RB fight. The midfield was extremely tight most that I've ever seen in the last 6 years its just that the track and TV coverage were meh.

I’m 1 minute at least, as you said, it was about showing who’s the boss. I doubt he would have backed off at all. Pushing ‘til the line.

He was dominant on this track all weekend. There’s just something Checo misses on the non-street tracks.

@@phoebesmith8154 does this not count as a street track?

@@fin-ed6oj no. It’s not using street roads as far as I’m aware, which is what determines a street track ☺️

did you see the tiny swerve Max did at Checo when he passed him on the straight.

*so far

“Until now” lol…

Last few concerns need a rework and that race will be a banger.

Idk how max managed it those tires looked like they was falling to pieces at least 15 laps prior

On one hand, damn max On the other, 😬 you cant help but feel bad bout checo, though overall you cant deny that max is def the better driver of the 2 in that car, he is a genuinely stellar driver when he cooks, shame he prob wont win a championship with rb, his only shot at winning a championship is to jump ship to a diff team tho even the chances of that working out well are near 0%

A tire going, a good move, a Logan Sargent point, a DNF?

​@@rookiechauffeur You dont need drama to have a decent race. There was plenty of overtaking, a comeback from both Hamilton and Max, and a battle for the lead. If you're looking for random chaos, watch something else, this is motorsport.. 😂

@@mintgoldheart6126 I do I just think this race is boring as a Max Verstappen fan, it’s like the HAM,VER,BOT era, it’s boring, now I have to look at the mid pack to see a remote chance of excitement, I hope to see more excitement next week

​@@rookiechauffeur have you seen Russell on Sainz? That was fire.

We can ask for potentially more racing. The racing was fine but was very repetitive and tbh only kmag and max at the start had actual interesting moves. Also there wasn’t a yellow flag during the whole race which obviously spices thijgs up. Had there been a safety car at the end, we would have had an amazong fight between checo and max for the win? (With alonso in the mix too)

Lol.

I feel like we missed all the good shots! I want to see what’s happening in the midfield, especially when the race is predictable in the top 3. Also, what was with all the pit lane shots? I want to see drivers perspective on track, not entering the pit?!

On the bright side, I've seen the girl with the pirelli tire headband in t18 more than I've seen cars in that corner. Excellent tv direction as always /s

At this point, everyone should just accept that there's two races happening: 1) The race between the Rebulls for P1. 2) The race between the other 9 teams. If you treat it that way, its a lot more exciting.

The reason the race was so shit for some people is because commentary was just brushing off big overtakes from drivers the whole time like it's no big deal. They literally interviewed Christian Horner while the was a 3 way battle on screen. No hype at all.

​@@bipolarminddroppingsMulti-class racing.

​@@10acious32 I guess some people have the ability of thinking a race is exciting without the commentary telling them it's exciting 😂

@@mackbuildsthings yeah definitely. I enjoyed the gp but it's just annoying when some cool shit happens and the people who are payed to care don't.

I'm not quite a Verstappen hater, but I'm definitely not a fan. That said...one would have to be blind to think Max wasn't driving INCREDIBLE today. He seems to be a demon, a driver motivated by anger and frustration. When things get hard, he just drives BETTER. And for that, no matter how many other things about him irritate me, I must show respect. He drove the hell out of that car today. His double overtake was ballsy, bold, and precise. His ability to just eat into Perez's time is unbelievable work. Today demonstrated the power of the redbull machine AND the power of the man behind the #1 machine. Max's name really says it all dude, he goes max every time.

@@vulpinemachine you seem reasonable, which I think is quitte uncommon for most people who reveal they don’t like Max. Can I ask what about him irritates you? I’m not saying I don’t disagree from time to time with Max. Brazil was so unnecessary, among other moments. But it’s not just the exciting performances Max delivers on such a regular base. I also like his forward, no bullshit attitude. What you see is what you get. It may be because I’m Dutch, but with Max I appreciate him being honest almost everytime. That may be too honest to be comfortable for some people. But Hamilton, for example, can be a lot more diplomatic. But still he comes across to me as a way less honest and FairPlay guy than he pretends to be.

@@Klementoso full disclosure: I rarely venture into comments sections for racing content. I find it's safer to discuss topics like abortion or gun control with fellow Americans than it is to discuss anything related to racing! HAHA. Ok, joking aside. I AM a Hamilton fan, but this is with caveats. I've seen a lot of racing over the years, and I think I've settled on the idea that MOST drivers who win championships or have that capability are probably jerks. LOL. I think Alonso, Hamilton, Verstappen, Vettel, Schumacher, all of them are kind of jerks and all of them are kind of arrogant. And I kind of know that going in, so I'm willing to give each of them room to be the kind of flamboyant personalities they need to be to get the job done, because I think there's something about these strong headed guys that also makes them winners. I would agree that Hamilton is way more diplomatic, but I don't know that he's a "better" person per se. I love watching Alonso, because when he's a jerk, it's funny. Like...really really funny. Now, as far as Max goes...you might disagree, and I can respect that, but I find that he lacks some of the professionalism that I've seen in some of those other champions. Like I said, I think they all come across as arrogant and often times rude or self-entitled, but Max sometimes crosses the line of professionalism where it just comes across as poor taste. I particularly don't like his relationship and attitude toward Perez (another person I hardly think is a victim, he can be arrogant himself! HA). But Max does strike me as a little more outwardly selfish, a little less professional, a little bit unkind toward others (and is willing to show it). Over the years it's just these little impolite things that kind stack up and rub me the wrong way. And by the way, I fully embrace the irony, because when Hamilton first showed up, one of the things I liked about him is how he had tats and piercings and he wasn't a clean cut rich white boy like most F1 racers and I loved that it made people uncomfortable. In some sense, I'm kind of complaining about Max doing the same sorta thing (but in his own way). Perhaps I'm not being fair, but that Perez slipping to 3rd in the championship last year was the moment that kinda made me go from indifferent to critic. It isn't the one thing I dislike him for, but, it's the one that broke me. Overall, I can't say a single negative thing about his driving. He drives so well it's scary. He's not just one of the best on the grid today, he might be one of the best the sport has ever seen period. He's good. REALLY GOOD. And for that, I'm never gonna be able to "hate" him. The most I can muster is a mild "dislike". Ha. I hope his car never fails him and that he gets challenged fair and square by the likes of Hamilton or Alonso. I wanna see a good battle. Max is a worthy opponent for anyone. May his reign be long and may he only fall to someone worthy of the title!

@@vulpinemachine It was the moment when perez stopped eating into the gap and it started growing again. like WHAT? on 40 lap old tires Max was like...time to go MAX

@@murccc Truly an unreal moment. Man had no tires left and just...MAGIC'd some more tires.

Happens in a lot of sports. There is so much bias and I'm guilty of it too. If the Montreal GP has like 4 overtakes and one scuff of the Wall of Champions I'll be saying it's legendary. They also predicted that it was going to be boring so they have to double down on that and ignore what actually happened on TV. Anytime an underdog like KMag is taking it to Leclerc all race and ends up hanging onto that last point with a death grip I'm interested.

Miami was a good race last year and this year, but Suzuka and Silverstone were better last year due to carnage and more battles higher up the field.

*talking shit just because it's in the US.

Shame we barely saw any of it because they were showing one of the Redbulls (on a clear track) 90% of the time...

P1 outcome was also amazing. Max came from P9 to win it. Very very impressive.

They all available, but the perfect strategy is med-hard or hard-med, soft is bad choice because the deg. You cannot blame the tire because every track has their own condition

Max could've finished in first without pitting. The hard tires don't degrade enough to have a meaningful falloff. It was the same thing in Baku. One stop races are terrible

It would definitely make things more interesting if it was mandatory to do at least 2 pit stops.

@@birddogz545 I agree but when the FIA made Pirelli make the tires super soft so that they actually wore out so many people bitched and complained. Infinite life tires are SO boring. Some fans want their driver to put on the hards and run a 0 stop if they could do it without getting DQ'd.

True. Shame though, wish Checo could at least give us the allure of Nico Rosberg-ing Max. Would've been great for him to take the points lead even if we knew it wouldn't survive barring circumstances beyond Max's control. Checo even gained .9 seconds on the pitstop itself in addition to the time lost in traffic by Max from starting 9th. In some fairness though, the hards->meds proved to be the wildly better strat across the whole field for the most part including Lewis' 13th->6th charge

@@VarianteMobile it’s like they’re trying to put drive to survive into the races themselves and it’s horrible . Keep that stuff on Netflix I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I just want to see racing

As an American, I found it just as awful and cringy as everyone else.

Nah, don't apologize, that shit is entertaining dude. It is harmless and makes people mad, love it

Or they want to shit on Miami on principle.

Or, they just thought it was a bad race?

The K-Mag/Leclerc fight was the highlight of the race. A lot of fun.

I've been watching since 2007. The race was crap, and so is the season. Cope.

Also they followed well trough the high speed and quite well through the chicane

My experience of live American sport tells me that the environment is designed as far as possible to distract the audience from the actual thing they came to see!

@@secondhandcindarella5205 it is our way. Why sell someone on an experience, when you can selling them on an overwhelming experience and charge even more for it? You know it’s bad when I saw the driver introductions and thought oh that make sense and then when I hear of $600 tickets I think oh that’s much cheaper then I assumed. On a personal note, the fake boats in the fake marina is worse than anything number of driver introductions

@@J-K-A I went to a Heat game when I was in Miami recently and I swear I missed a whole quarter of basketball because there was sooo much other stuff going on 🤣
