I had a busy weekend, I only watched the race, none of the qualifying, none of the sprint. I do like watching the sprints, but as an F1 fan on the go, it feels like homework I can skip.
Heroes
Kimi - This kid is good enough, and with a good enough team that he might become THE Kimi when talking about F1. Blasphemy? Yes, but can't argue with the results.
Norris/Piastri/McLaren. They've used the time off/update to right the ship. Maybe not the best of the best, but definitely back to the form they've had the last couple of years.
Williams and Alpine have also managed to step forward
Zeroes
Max had a good qualifying, a bad start, an interesting pit strategy, but fell behind cars that weren't faster than him
LeClerc has to pay attention the entire race. Also doesn't seem to have trust with Ferrari. They need to work on that.
Coverage, they seemed to never show anything happen. It wasn't the most eventful race, but of the 20 or so interesting moments we saw maybe 5 'live'. Even the commentators had to make guesses why drivers were falling down the timing sheet.
Officiating. I'm in the middle of the Stanley Cup Playoffs (ice hockey), and I'm used to the officials making their rulings right away. Watching Miami, and getting a note 10 laps later that something might be looked at eventually... feels like no one cares about fair racing.
Over all it was a decent enough race. I wish I'd gotten 'into' the weekend more, but no regrets spending my time as I did, F1 is great, but other stuff in life is great too. I'm happy for Kimi winning in a non run away. We had several leaders, all of whom could have credibly won the race with the right stroke of luck.
