I feel Miami is still playing catch up with our friends over in Dubai Imagine Dubai were to do dip their toe in a street race. Not inconceivable. As epic a location as the Miami project, just as picturesque and just as glamorous for the uber rich & a fraction of the price for the ‘real’ fans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well played James
Agreed as in Dubai currency is unlimited and it simply comes down to if it can be acquired (and then modified to Dubai's 'specs'). Kinda like a Bollywood movie set. This is (partially) why my wife and i enjoy watching the comedy TV series Dubai Bling.

I always recall years ago being on a tour of the Yas Marina F1 facility over in AD where the guide said “you’ll notice the stands aren’t that big… that’s by design, we don’t need the money” Such honesty!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Adrian's (relatively) new hobby which he will have more time to enjoy soon.

The Official Formula One Thread!
Ferrari will bring some visible (and some internal) upgrades in hopes to make Imola tifosi happy. The visible aero is fairly well explained in a photo and story in the link.
* I inserted the word IMOLA into the original photo for clarity The enumerated upgrades are explained in the article. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/t...mola/10610791/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The Italian church bells nearby could use a good workout.

I also see some minor changes in the lower part of the body, around the middle of the 5 and 6. I will be curious to see how much of an advantage this many changes will mean.

The Official Formula One Thread!
Some may recall that May 2024 marks the 30th year after the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. I saw this series of articles and embedded videos that you may appreciate. There is also a long podcast respecting some favorite memories.

Surprised not to see anyone talking about LEC's journey! Hometown gold medal is something to write home about.
I, as I'm sure much of the F1 fanbase, experienced a healthy dose of schadenfraude as it relates to RBR's lackluster performance. Max is a great driver in a great car, but he's no dummy... he fully understands his car's limitations & I think did the best he could given he had no Checo to help him from the rear. The MAG-HUL-PER crash was so unfortunate. With so many license points, MAG seemed determined to right his wrongs & score some points for the team if possible. Instead, he failed to play the long game & ended up ruining two other people's races. I don't see him in the sport after 2025. I think Ollie Bearman will join him in '25, then another wildcard takes his (MAG's) seat. The OCO-GAS crash was hilarious. That team is in such shambles & OCO is such a baby. Whether he is the better driver over GAS (51/49 difference IMO) is irrelevant if half of the team's drivers takes hilariously unnecessary risks. He deserved to be sidelined after his stupidity. Looking forward, I think the HUL-SAI (likely, let's be honest) pairing at Audi will be a genuine contender & the field will begin to equalize after years of RBR's dominance. People forget how it was when HAM was at MBZ winning race-after-race... I think ZHO, SAR & maybe even BOT will be out of the sport before 2026. BOT is marketable, but the only place that I could see him go is Haas, which means MAG is gone at the end of this year. Curious to see who takes the #2 seat at Williams. I'm tired of listening to SAR & watching him fail race after race.

i loved watching the videos of the yachts and parties. Amazing the docking fees and well-oiled logistics. A great weekend for promoting Monaco as a world-class destination. Bravo F1!
i do wonder how much F1 asks Monaco residence in fees for those able to watch the race from their balcony. Vegas is coming soon.

Boring start to the whole season really with RBR...but, the last two races have now intrigued me. Two separate winners not being Max. I go every year to the Canadian F1 GP and this year my 16-year-old son whom I bring said that he did not feel like going. So, I did not buy anything. But, these last two races may put me back on the F1 live viewing group. I may pick up tickets last minute.
