    I will forever call this the Florida GP, because that's what this silly track and area vibes. The circuit location could have been so much better


    and the Ferrari looks dumb this weekend. WTH Enzo, who did you leave in charge

    I would guess it doesn't make the options list due to safety/evacuation considerations. Ingress/egress nightmare.

    The 'money' that lives South of the circuit said no. The area around the water circled.

    I hate HP, one of the most disreputable companies I ever worked for whereas DEC was the exact opposite

    I remember many complains about the track situation. I guess they made it where they were allowed to.

    F1 to raise pitlane speed limit to reduce one stop races
    F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali met with Pirelli’s motorsport director Mario Isola at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to discuss the ongoing situation and what can be done to spice things up for the remainder of the season.

    Moves are already underway to choose more aggressive softer rubber in a bid to force more pitstops, while another route could be to space out the compounds to further make things more challenging.

    However a more left-field idea has gathered momentum and now looks set to be put into action.

    As first reported by The Race, that solution is to reduce the time it takes for a car to stop for tyres – thereby shifting the strategy mathematics to make an extra stop for fresh rubber more viable.

    While the actual pitstop time is already at the limit, the area of focus is in raising the pitlane speed limit.

    Early analysis showed that if the pitlane speed limit is raised by 20km/h – so potentially from 80km/h to 100km/h – then it would reduce the pitstop times by around five seconds.

    This increase in speed limit would be at the expense of personel working in the pit lane, IMO.
    I thought the FIA was working towards improving safety; this is a step backward.

    Yes it is. Its a broken series dominated by tyre issues/management. Not innovation currently. Cost cap fall-out continues.

    FWIW - the Vegas track is an upside down pig but the racing has been pretty good!

    The problem being if enough people stop watching then sooner or later none of us will be able to.

    F1TV app states: Miami extended through 2041! We'll get to enjoy Miami for another 16 years...

    I am guessing that was a 15-year extension with 2026 already under contract.

    That's gambling that the F1 following in the USA will not fade away in the mean time.

    It's a leap of faith.
