Spanish Embassy (San Francisco-California) May 22, 2011

What kind of king is this, for crying out loud?🙏🙏🙏

Douglas Garcia24 said:Alonso starts in 4th, but somehow finds himself leading the pack after just one lap.
Button kicks things off from 5th, though he’s already tumbled down to 10th by the end of the first circuit.

And now... 🤦

The geniuses over at Ferrari 🙏 really outdid themselves with those strategy calls, didn't they? 🙏

The guys running strategy at Ferrari are absolutely wrecking their own race. If they actually knew what they were doing, Ferrari would be fighting for a podium right now.

Give it a rest, he isn't that big of a deal... he's on softs while they're running hards. You'll see them catching him before the checkered flag. The only real question is if he's built enough of a gap to actually grab a podium 🙂

Massa 🤦 is an absolute beast behind the wheel, no doubt about it.

Alonso won't even be in his rearview mirror, especially since he'll be diving into the pits five times.

All things considered, Vettel really earned that win today.👋I mean, who was the one claiming he couldn't handle the heat when the pressure was on?🤷
Major props to Hamilton for how he drove that race, and Button was just incredibly smart to navigate his way onto the podium...

Webber had a rough start and ended up losing precious time trailing behind Alonso, only to get overtaken by Button later on.

Alonso showed some serious guts with that opening launch, 😁but once that first pit stop happened, he really hit the wall of this season's reality.☕
That lap where he was trailing 👋both Red Bull and McLaren basically pulled the curtain back on all the car's flaws, and honestly, even Alonso’s talent can’t hide those issues anymore.
Schumacher and Rosberg were both driving exactly as much as their cars would allow.

Heidfeld was definitely one of the unsung heroes of the race since he managed to climb all the way up to 8th place.
Petrov and Massa🤦🤦

Both Saubers landed in the points again, though it looks like all that strategic math for Force India didn't quite pay off in the end.

It's another disappointing showing for Williams.😢.

Red Bull absolutely has to sort out their KERS situation immediately.
Vettel proved once again that he belongs in a top-tier car.

Come on, Gramps... 🙏

Alright, he finished 4th.

Alonso is honestly a joke—

the Santander sponsorship basically buys him his seat and that "number one driver" status, but the guy can't even hold his line for a single lap.

🤣

Honestly, Alonso doesn't stand a chance, and Webber probably won't either

It looks like Alonso is stuck on hards again

Alonso is out of softs. From what I know, he can only run three sets of softs and three sets of hards during the race.🤷

If my memory serves me right, I was busy trashing Vettel and rooting for Alonso the last time I checked in.😂

Wrong—I was actually calling you out for hating on Hamilton

So honestly, you might just want to go hide under a rock, since your guy basically blew the race despite having a car that was a full second faster than everyone else😁

Only seven drivers are on the same lap right now, and we’ve still got 20 laps left to go... by the end of this thing, it's probably just gonna be McLaren and Red Bull running lap traffic 🤦

It’s dead, man... looks like some new glitch 😬

Your logic is pretty flawed, man. 🙏 If you think "Chase Bank is buying his seat and paying for top driver status" but he still can't even maintain the pace, then he isn't a joke—he’d actually be a legend. 🙏🙏🙏 😁

Though, I guess that’s no reason to be this salty. 🙂

That absolute idiot really managed to screw over Hema, didn't he?

The button really ought to produce at least 13 circles, yet it’s going to end up making 23 instead🙂.

Button’s right on Webber’s tail, and he’s got the fresher rubber. The podium is sitting there waiting.

I’ve never been particularly fond of Miami, but this weekend completely changed my mind: we just secured our first tournament win and our first Super League victory of the season. 🙏 🙂 Even the race itself wasn't the snooze-fest it occasionally tends to be. 🙏

I can't catch the live broadcast right now, so I figured I'd just ask you guys here:

Are Alonso, Rosberg, and Massa sitting comfortably in the top 8? I managed to track Button far enough to see he's currently in first, which I guess means he's safely within that top 8 bracket, right?

Also, does anyone know who has already dropped out or retired from the race so far?

Kobayashi was easily the driver of the race. I mean, he started dead last after the second lap—trailing by a massive margin—and still clawed his way up ten spots by the finish. 🙏

Everything else? Honestly, not even worth mentioning.

I’m practically praying for an earthquake or some massive volcanic eruption to just level this entire track—it’s hands down the biggest pile of garbage we've ever seen in F1 history.

Seriously, you could combine KERS, DRS, and Pirelli tires into one super-formula and it still wouldn't fix how terrible this circuit is.
