F1 Miami 2023

Looks like the track is still not grippy https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/miami-track-surface-perez-intermediate-tyres/10465786/
Mercedes driver George Russell, who set the pace in first practice, reckoned the asphalt left Miami as a “true outlier” and unlike anything else on the calendar.

He said: “We’ll go into Sunday a bit of an unknown with the track being resurfaced.

“It's still not performing like any other circuit. So, it's a true outlier here, which is cool in some regards.

Amid complaints over too few overtakes in the opening rounds of the campaign that have left viewers to comment on dull races, drivers have predicted that trend to continue in Miami.

At a track where there were 45 passes last season, drivers have pointed to the lack of grip off the racing line and the Pirelli tyres dropping marbles.

Russell continued: “It can be really difficult to race because you can't drive off-line.

“You’ve seen with a few people, myself included, you put one wheel off and there's no grip whatsoever.”

How is the race received by local residents?
Good thing, bad thing, brings in money, total inconvenience?
 
I saw an interview of the Miami Gardens mayor praising the economic impact. It's probably a loud couple of days for the locals though.
 
Yeah, last year a group of local property owners filed suit against F1 to try to stop the race but the suit was thrown out.

lets see, you built next to Football stadium that has events all the time but you are going to complain about a race that happens once a year and brings in revenue to local businesses during off season.

so far pretty good race.
 
Max was rolling. He went from 9 to 1. That isn’t easy but he had the one stretch of track where he just kept on the pedal ducked inside and passed everyone.
