Leaning towards rooting for Sainz this year. We need to see a third constructor push Mercedes and Red Bull for podiums, and Ferrari seems to be the likely option. Sainz outperformed their chosen driver, LeClerc, and should continue to do so this season

Another thought I had on Miami was the benefit of the time of the year for this race as opposed to COTA. COTA is typically run in mid-to-late October, which is right in the middle of NFL and College Football season. Practice sessions, quali, and the race are all in afternoon time slots which conflict with football. Also, ESPN and other sports networks are not able to devote as much time and resources to race weekend coverage. Miami allowed F1 to take center stage in a much grander fashion.NewOldAg said:
After some days to reflect, I think the Miami GP achieved its purpose. I'm not sure it was ever meant to be great racing, especially for TV viewers. Instead, I think it was meant to be a wild festival of glamor, which it achieved.
Wrong or right, I'm not sure. But the WSJ reported on it and so have other big news sources. Hoping to catch the American market, the star studded paddock turned all eyes on Miami.

I cant put my finger on why Miami bothered me, but it just seemed like Miami was trying to one-up every other race their first time out.
I think it's a popular destination, and Im glad a race is there. Just maybe tone it down a notch or three.
