Formula 1 crypto.com (ugh, really?) Miami Grand Prix 2022Formula 1

[McLaren]

Bottas lets both Mercs through.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Bottas is back.

 

[Liquid]

Don't cut to the ****ing crowd when there's a battle for the lead going on.

HOW CAN THEY NOT BE ABLE TO OVERTAKE WITH THE DRS OPEN?!?!?!?!

 

[Jimlaad43]

Valtteri it's James

This track is the American Monaco.

HOW CAN THEY NOT BE ABLE TO OVERTAKE WITH THE DRS OPEN?!?!?!?!

Perez, Russell and Ocon have much faster tyres and only one has made any overtakes.

But it's amazing for racing according to one local

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Perez should be down on power, which is giving Sainz a lifeline.

 

[PaMu1337]

Mick fully punts Seb

 

[Touring Mars]

When Perez (briefly) got past Sainz, it sounded suspiciously like canned audience noise added to the live F1 footage.

I know they use it for replays, but fake live audience noise is something the sport could live without.

Still, it did wake me up a bit.

If that isn't the case, he has a case of the Bottas'.

 

[Grayfox]

Mick is the new Mazepin.

Damn shame. He was doing alright this race.

Not sure if it's fake. I think they just turn up the audience-facing microphones

They did it for live footage at Bahrain too.

Stewards for a while kept saying Magnussen was under investigation for Schumacher hitting Vettel.

 

[PeterJB]

This has been some of the worst coverage I've experienced. The cameras are missing every yellow flag and collision but they're hot on showing random celebrities looking bored out of their skull, and then Crofty doesn't appear to be paying the slightest bit of attention and keeps mattering on with Ted.

 

[Dennisch]

Tssk tssk, Perez. Good job Max.

Yeah I know he's the wrong color but at the same time somebody should be in Brundle's ear to tell him who these people are.

 

[PaMu1337]

Yeah I know he's the wrong color but at the same time somebody should be in Brundle's ear to tell him who these people are.

Or, you know, just don't interview people if you don't know who they are

 

[Dennisch]

They should be ignored all together. There are enough people walking on the grid who actually have something useful to say.

The programme director normally does, don't they? At least, they used to before.

 

[PaMu1337]

Did Magnussen just pull into the pit without finishing the race? I think he didn't finish the last lap

 

[Atarwii]

Or, you know, just don't interview people if you don't know who they are

Brundle is not going to do that.

 

[Touring Mars]

Looks like someone forgot to poke the hole out of the 'A' in the big green MIAMI sign in Parc Ferme...

 

[Magog]

Probably the best GP this year. DRS actually worked as intended. It let a faster car pass a slower car but didn't let a slower car pass a faster one.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Well that was a snoozefest

 

[Jimlaad43]

When it comes to fixing this track, there's not much they can do at the problem parts. They're between a Place and a Hard Rock.

 

[Samus]

One of the worst unforced errors I've ever seen from Norris.

Probably the best GP this year. DRS actually worked as intended. It let a faster car pass a slower car but didn't let a slower car pass a faster one.

This week on ridiculous takes with Magog...

They should be ignored all together. There are enough people walking on the grid who actually have something useful to say.

The gridwalk was a great novelty when it first started. You'd hear more from team bosses like Alain Prost or Eddie Jordan, gain a little insight into what Häkkinen or Schumacher were thinking or even hear from a retired driver like Gerhard Berger or Derek Warwick. It was actually relevant and contributed to the race. Formula One people being interviewed about Formula One at a Formula One race.

Brundle is still great, of course, but he's 'instructed' whom to interview. Time to scrap it. These absolute nobodies don't contribute zero, they're actually a negative. I don't know what the directors and management who pursue this style of broadcasting got for this bright idea but it should have been 3-5 years.
