It's here! Universally beloved Race Day in Miami, so loved, I think everyone must be too shy to claim the honour of doing the Race Day OP or something,  possibly like how everyone wants the end piece of a cherry cake but is too shy to just take it, but as we're underway in about 90 minutes, let's crack on with the hoopla.
 
This what happened in quali yesterday;
 

 
This is the starting grid:
 

 
This is when it's lights out where you are, presented in extra hard to read colours, for some reason. 
 

 
and, just because...

I guess there is slight resemblance to Tina haha...

Not really possible to get much closer, Ferrari performing a tire change 5 minutes ago.

Hallo everyone.

 

 

Have a great time and hope you enjoy the race and setting!

Hopefully a good race for Haaaaas!

Hopefully Leclerc or Sainz can challange Max today in Miami street track, apparently Ferrari should have a small tire preserving advantage. 

Mclaren should be dark horse today at Miami podium could be possibility with good luck.

I predict there will be one safety car during the race today some where.

[KWSN - DSM]

Presuming top 4 make it through 1st corner I expect Verstappen to disappear down the road, Perez, Leclerc and Sainz will settle into 2, 3 and 4 then battle within the confines of DRS, tires, strategy and a possible Safety Car, I do expect race result to be

1. Verstappen
2. Perez
3. Leclerc

Love this photo. Reminds me of the Dallas GP pits with guys in the heat, cutoff denim shorts and no shirts. Nice find, Sophie!

That's cool.

Can we stop with Trump here? Let's give him the silence he abhor.

One of those annoying websites that throws up a popup that won't close until you disable adblocker. No thanks.

 

Though I can probably still make my "Orange Team, Orange Man" comment.

I will never forget Rosberg and Putin in 2016. That was sooo awkward.

Lol Zak is holding his hands in the pockets to avoid any handshakes

Not sure if Zak is smiling.

Looks clear to me that Zak Brown is quite uncomfortable with Trump being there

[PitViperRacing]

These gridwalks are horrific

[KWSN - DSM]

Is he being told to actually find 'celebrities'?

[southernstars]

Interesting grid walk thus far. I wonder if Martin is avoiding the more diva-ish celebs. Everyone else seemed pretty happy to see him, though I have no frickin' clue who the first lady was.

Expect fun race with many battles, even if not for the lead, but that's not impossible either.
