I happened to watch the opening ceremony, not sure if this is a thing for every GP or because this is the first time here at this Miami carpark circuit (?).......What a load of old tosh!!! Crofty and that other young lass (cant remember her name) doing their best to generate some hype followed by the drivers doing a walk on. A DJ playing a mix of songs and some bird wearing sunglasses comes out looking like Stevie Wonder`s Latino sister flaunting her ass (impressive as it was) while singing.........some people are easy pleased!

I hope the racing provides more entertainment than the drivel Ive seen so far.

"For an idea of how much things are going to cost at the weekend during the race, we ordered two lemonades and it cost $35"

While climbing through the opening from track to pit lane, Carlos has bumped his noggin, not having much luck lately is he?

The best thing about this race for me are the times its all run Not so much for you guys. I will be in Chat for FP1 for anyone who plans on being there.

[forzaferrari]

Not sure if I will be home for start of FP1 Neil but should be (fingers crossed) for FP2........we can discuss a bellend who was wearing 3 watches during the presser.

Think Lewis might be trying to wind up those who are pushing the "no jewellery rule"

Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari time means three watches - some are fast, some are slow.......
