Although I can see why you all thought it was shit because of the lack of progress for Tim Lewis and John Lando, that was actually quite entertaining.

I just don't think the stakes are worth it. A pittance of points for the sake of ... the crowd's amusement?
I'm all for trying to improve the show and look at new formats but this one works against everything else they've tried to do (not unsuccessfully) with the new regulations.
It's not like the current quali format is stale either. It regularly throws curveballs from either conditions, daft team decisions or just plain bad luck. I've got no doubt Saturday attendances and viewing figures dip but you can't spice that up.
Weather looks like it could be interesting tomorrow.
We should factor in that the quali would have been today and therefore everything would have been dry anyway.
Will this even happen? It’s soaking.
Key factors are, is there standing water? Not overly sure as we've not seen much outside the pitlane. The other is can the medical helicopter still take off?
I would suggest we're okay on both for now.
Looks like the brollys have come down. A shame it couldnt last til about 10 mins before race start or so.
Just want to say that the sprint race is the worst thing introduced to F1 since grooved tyres.
Literally all it does is straighten out any unusual qualifying results, as we see here.

Why have Sky sent so few out for this one? Gender balance weekend or something?
Brundle and Di Resta/Button etc tend to rotate in and out every other weekend. Looks like they were also expecting Rosberg out there who, reading between the lines, seems to have COVID.
Brundle always misses certain weekends to do his own racing.
Fair fucks somehow managing to find a black woman for the F1 coverage.
Ricciardo you idiot.
Fully expecting it to be Strulovic punting someone off.
Someone please cut out the Red Bull cars engines please.
Duct tape over that hole.
Crofty referring to Tosa as 'turn 7' is the worst example yet. Name the fucking corners.
Eau Rouge is now 'the turns 3, 4 and 5 complex' no doubt.
Give us more rain
Why on earth have Ferrari left Le Clerc out for an extra lap?
Also, the race TV director needs shooting in the head.
We need more rain right now please!
Why on earth is there no DRS
There has been enough overtaking. Fuck DRS.
The race director is onto his third bottle of red.
This entire weekend has been a bit of a shambles.
DRS has really helped...
Should have taken the good points of 3rd place.
That new formula E car is a mad looking thing with no rear wing.
Just flicked by Sky Sports F1 and noticed the Miami GP Opening Ceremony was on. Easily the cringiest shit I’ve ever seen.
Small time bastards.
F1 has gone balls deep in U.S.A! shit this week. Las Vegas is coming next year. The sport is fucked.
In response to the FIA’s ban on jewellery in the cockpit, Hamilton rocked up to the press conference wearing three watches, a ring on every finger and about half a dozen chains. I aspire to be that petty.
I hope he gave a speech about poverty.
That’s what I like though and I will shake my fist at street circuits and fireworks.
Get them back on the Indy 500 start list.
It isn't a proper racing series unless Snetterton's on the calendar. Even got a corner named after Our Lewis.
Actually, yes. Tell us of the weird tree, Ted.

That marina is pathetic.
I must admit I’m intrigued by this circuit watching this Brundle lap. Those walls in the tight section have Latifi’s name all over them.
I don't think the sport has been any better, to be honest. The grid is largely packed with talent, the cars are the fastest they've ever been and the machinery looks competitive. In the grand scheme of things, where they race is irrelevant.
The sport as a spectacle is what it has always been, inappropriate cars racing wherever someone will put down enough cash. It is undeniably in a far healthier state than I can remember, to the point where Volkswagen may end up entering twice and existing entries have never been more valuable. There's even a cost cap, I'll eat a burger or two for that alone.
But the Americans are making Formula 1 all about money!!!!
Formula 1.
About money.....
The lack of grip is fun, especially if one of those Florida thunderstorms comes along and washes all the rubber away.
They should get one of these for Monza.
Imagine in 2030 if we get teams with M&M's and Burger King as head sponsors.
Wendys
Can’t be worse than fucking Bybit or Rich Energy.
