🏎️ Fantasy F1 || Race 5 || USA

With Spanish Grand Prix qualifying starting in just a few hours time, I'd forgotten that I hadn't written my usual Fantasy F1 update for the American Grand Prix in Miami. Whilst I've forgotten most of what happened over the course of the race weekend, Martin Brundle's comical grid walk before the race - where he awkwardly stalked Venus Williams (3:10 in the video below), didn't have a clue who the tall basketball player he was talking to was (Paolo Banchero - 5:50) as well as some YouTube bloke that Martin pretty much just laughed at (8:15).
Race Summary
In the race, a 41st lap Virtual Safety car caused by Gasly not using his mirrors (which was always going to end up being a full safety car) should have seen Ferrari pit to change Leclerc's tyres. I remember this bit and I was incensed as to their decision making which pretty much guaranteed Max Verstappen the race win. Why didn't they pit Leclerc?
Ferrari will have been happy with their team's performance with Sainz finishing 3rd. Red Bull would also have been reasonably happy with 1st and 4th but will wonder why Perez wasn't able to get past Sainz and secure 3rd place.
Race 5 Points
It was a good week for Red Bull and Ferrari drivers which meant another good week for @titopx who had Leclerc as his turbo driver, Sergio Perez and the Red Bull constructor to get a races core of 243 points.
Congratulations @titopx, your 20 STEEM delegation is now with you 🏆

Late Entries Welcome
It's a long season with another 17 races expected (it has been confirmed that there won't be a race to replace the Russian Grand Prix). With a delegation of 20 STEEM for each race up for grabs, there's plenty still to be won so please read this post for more information on how to join.

Gabikay está realmente cerca y no quiere despegarse, aún no me animo a cambiar el equipo ya que está yendo genial además con los primeros entrenamientos de hoy menos dan ganas jajajaja.
Veremos si sigo aumentando la ventaja está semana! Gracias por el premio y por el concurso🥳✨
Hopefully you'll be saying the same thing about me after this weekend 🤣
En la clasificación te fue bien creo que mejor que a mí, veamos cómo finaliza mañana todo me veo chances jajaja 🤘🏽😌
Ha ha - I've just written my weekly update and your team absolutely smashed it again. I know that the Ferrari drivers should be finishing at the front - but they're not. I'm beginning to think that Carlos Sainz is just a bit shit.
Yo que pensaba que con la caida de Leclerc no tendria chance pero Ferrari esta on fire, a pesar de que Sainz este en esas.
Quizas le falta mente ganadora para poder optar a más.
Yes, maybe. I'm sticking with him in the hope that he's just being unlucky but we'll see how long my patience lasts.
I think Mercedes might do quite well at Monaco with so many low speed corners.
Seguiré con la confianza en Ferrari, hacía tiempo que no empezaba tan bien, veo a mi equipo equilibrado y me da más miedo cambiarlo que no hacerlo 🤣
Ha ha - you are very wise. It's often harder to do nothing than it is to make changes.
Felicitaciones @titopx, por esta victoria.
Muchas gracias mi pana 😎🤘🏽
