I surprised my Dad with an early father’s day/birthday/christmas gift and bought 2 General admission tickets for this year’s Miami GP for him and I. 3 day pass was $600, so i just had to pull the trigger, needless to say it’s something in our bucket list and my uncle also decided to buy his pass too so he’s joining us. Hearing my dad tear up and get emotional over the phone with the surprise was worth it.

I’m so stoked to see an F1 race live for the first time.

Ferrari had the best launch, and ties with Mercedes for best livery imo. Glad to see them back in black.

Haas is my least favorite. Also way too much black on the field, wish they weren't so desperate to save weight that they can't even paint the cars anymore lol

And if you give any teams an inch on any sort of regulations, they will exploit it.

Example rule: you need to have 6kg of paint on the car

Teams: place all 6kg of paint on the underside of the car.

Revised rule: the paint needs to be on top of the car

Team revision: place 6kg of paint on the topside rear as ballast to help with grip

rulemakers: *sigh*

Aston Martin is my least favorite. Epitome of bland.

Bold to appear to have changed nothing with the livery. Known as the deepest pockets on the grid, can't afford to change a thing about the car.

Some of these drive to survive episodes are pretty cute. The PierrexYuki episode has Ms shipping them so hard

Gonna be real upset if Gasly and Ocon don't dress like onion sellers at the same time while blasting this at least once!

F is for Ferrari so everyone can spam Fs in the chat.

And here's to hoping Red Bull isn't that far ahead of everyone (again)

Merc has their work cut out for them. But it's good to see another team be competitive.

IndyCar couldn't make it 1 lap without an incident.
