Poll: Official 2023 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread - Miami International Autodrome, Miami - Race 5/23

Perez pace isn't exactly amazing and given this is the best time to build a gap it makes me think Versrtappen may not need a safety car to win.

Not WC material.

Russell radio - Yeah, sliding a lot

Verstappen radio - I think turn 7 8 to understeery

Clearly going to be a Redbull 1-2. Sigh

No point even fighting it.

Piastri pit radio - Oscar, that is a system problem, it's not a mechanical problem. So keep pushing. The pedal will stay long and we'll see what we can do to fix it.

MV has got this sewn up. He’s only 5secs behind Perez

 

[muon]

Can't overtake a Williams, shocking from Hamilton tbh. Shouldn't need a DRS advantage to overtake.

 

[Flibster]

Russell pit radio - You made it look easy

Russell - Should listen to the engineers more often

Nobody can overtake anyone except that RB

Hamilton is out of position on the grid. Everyone else isn't.

Hamilton is out of position on the grid. Everyone else isn't.

Especially when you see Russell overtaking an Alpine that qualifies quite high up the order.

Tbf Williams are quick straight line speed and merc is weak with DSR so kinda makes sense

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Perez has woken up, bit late though. Yesterday he said that in a normal race he shouldn't ever see Max given their starting positions...

 

[uscool]

Perez Vs max

 

[muon]

Verstappen is just gonna rock up and pass Perez. RBR will probably split strategies.

 

[GodAtum]

Why didn't Alonso put up a fight?

 

[Flibster]

So Hamilton now past Albon, we didn't see it, and he's right up behind Hulkenberg now.

 

[englishpremier]

If there are no incidents i dont think he has much chance of a win. However fast that Red Bull with Max in it is, Perez is likely going to be a full pit stop ahead by the time Max reaches 2nd (except maybe if he gets some sort of insane start).

Probably end up being Perez, Max, Alonso podium if there are no dramas.

Hasn't aged well. Perez might still have some legs on him, we'll see, but it was obvious no-one in the rest of field was going to be anything like near the pace of Max.

Righttttt... well, the TV Director missed it, but he's cleared them now
