Did they fix that Mickey Mouse 14, 15 and 16 complex this year? I kept waiting for someone to plough straight on at 14.

FP1 starts at 7PM GMT and 8PM EMT, in a nutshell little chance of rain expected for todays FP1 and FP2. The rain threat increases for Saturdays FP3 and quali while for Sunday there is a 60% chance for it.

Rick: That report is two days old, and its difficult to predict Florida weather 12 hours in advance.

As of noon Eastern time, my weather app shows a 1% POP Friday, 15% Saturday, and 37% Sunday with "rain showers early with some sunshine later in the day."

The weather in Florida is fickle, and predictions are not as valuable given that the state is surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.

Rain would make the race interesting even though the track is basically a parking lot.

That's good that the threat of rain is going down though it's still more possible for Sunday.

Even with the success of Drive to Survive still can't find F1 gear here in the states

Couple of high priced online stores but that's about it. HAAS factory store full of NASCAR garbage

The standard RB puma cap fits perfect on me with two notches remaining on the fixing strap, same with the Ferrari Raikkonen one I have also.

Sorry to say Charlie has crashed KbD, and done the R/F corner in, so it's a moped ride back to the box for him the car not being drivable, he apparently lost the rear.

Anyone know if Max is going to have a tantrum again if someone actually races hard against him. Hilarious when the shoe is on the other foot, loved all the videos showing the numerous incidents he caused to the same or worse and it was all ok for him to do and everyone on here to defend.

I hear the FIA have had to speak to Max just in case he throws the dummy out mid race next time it might be a safety car due to the debris.

Mornin' all.
That FP2 1m27:93 Max got has beaten his '22 pole time by 1.134 sec, the track has been Tilke re-layed and drivers including Checo are saying the grip is lacking.

The new Miami asphalt layer is slippery and part of the race .

Too bad for Charlie .
Nico the Hulk kissed (yesterday) the wall too ...

Rookie Sargeant also crashed, thankfully KMags was very lucky not to damage the Haas when the rear slipped and the car dodged in between the walls, so some nerve save for Steiner.

I don't generally trust guys who wear their hat backwards or call front wings bumpers. But, pretty good info.
