3798j wroteToo many cars on the grid.Some sloppy racing.
M5Rick wroteEven crazier is he got it pointed in the right direction so fast then slammed on the accelerator. No one hit him from behind.Unbelievable save...Just MAX
///M Power-Belgium wroteMercedes never sold "second tier" engines for McLaren, Williams, and Alpine. It's a myth created by sugar beverage fans. McLaren has improved because of changes to the car, not the engine. The engine was always great.Wollf's Benz loopholes and cheating PU tricks are gone now (!)
That's why (!) As you can read ...
afadeev wroteI have to agree, it was an awesome race. And I stand by my words that I think this will prove to be the greatest formula we've had in 12 years.Stop whining - this is the best racing action in years !
Now imagine this, but with a N/A V8 soundtrack
And the power balance moved more towards the engine so it's not 50/50, and completely removing the overtake button 
Neither the turbo or the V6 is necessary anymore since the fuel is Greta Thunberg approved anyway
FrankL wroteSecond nature with MAX, he has the reactions of a Tiger catEven crazier is he got it pointed in the right direction so fast then slammed on the accelerator. No one hit him from behind.
omgzirra_exe wroteI think it's going to even out now between those two and it's way too early to say who will go on to be World Champ, MAX is getting better by the minute and you know how he likes hunting down those in front of himjust finished watching highlights, max def deserved DOTD. i feel bad for LEC... i hope Kimi becomes WDC, but also anything to not have Russell get WDC.
M5Rick wroteThe times (and rules) they are a-changin':MAX a few inches over a line with one tyre that wasn't fully over the line, stewards have become pickety witches but at least he keeps his well earned points as HAM was well behind.
- Monaco 2021 ruling by the race stewards:
"The Stewards reviewed video evidence. Part of the left front tire of Car 18 [Stroll] touched the yellow line at pit exit, but did not cross the line in breach of the specific wording in Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 5."

- Monaco 2022 ruling by the race stewards:
"In this case, the car [Verstappen] did not “cross” the line – to do so it would have needed to have a full wheel to the left of the yellow line.
Accordingly the driver did not breach the relevant section of the Code and this takes precedent over any interpretation of the Notes."

- Miami 2026 ruling by the race stewards:
"The Stewards determined that the outside of the front left-hand tyre [Verstappen car] did cross the outside of the solid white pit exit line in violation of Appendix L, Chapter IV Article 6 c) of the International Sporting Code. Given the nature of the infraction the Stewards elected to impose a penalty of 5 seconds."

///M Power-Belgium wroteAt Montreal Merc will be getting more updates, after being told to remove battery 'tricks' and other things it begs the question of what if anything they actually removed for Miami, lets remember that Rao has been brought back a while back now to serve as Ben's advisor.Negative (!)

but their strategy team is the same team that nearly gave 100 points to Max in a slower car last year.
and gave the win to Mercedes.
Also pleased to hear McLaren's Stella say more upgrades are coming for Canada.
