A Formula 1 race week has a rhythm to it The week starts off light-hearted. Drivers do publicity. Behind the scenes, the support team is doing the work, building the garages out, setting everything up for the race. Thursday is the last day before drivers take the track for the first 2 of 3 practice […]
Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel are generational rivals. Long before this latest generation of Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, and George Russell became the “unstoppable” young drivers, there was Lewis and Seb. Hamilton, having nearly won the World Drivers Championship as a rookie and completing the job in his second year being eclipsed a […]
Much like everything else in Formula 1, the press conference is a technical, highly organized affair taking place over 2 hours. First, as always, it is useful to provide context. In American sports, we’re used to having more access to athletes and doing things like going into locker rooms after games to conduct interviews. That […]
Upon hearing that Formula 1 planned to build a race track at Hard Rock Stadium, my reaction was to laugh at both the audacity and impossibility of it. The simultaneous juxtaposition of skepticism and awe. Hard Rock Stadium’s transformation from modern multi-purpose stadium at its inception, to soulless venue not fit for any purpose, to […]
Formula 1 Thursdays are a bit odd. The track is ready. The teams are setting up. Everyone has arrived. And yet, no cars have been driven competitively. It’s the proverbial calm before the storm. But for media, it’s actually the best chance to see the track, see the pit lane, and see everything that has […]
As the Formula 1 circus descends on Miami this week, my Formula 1 journey comes full circle. Formula 1 is considered by many to be a European sport, an elitist sport, and an overseas sport. An “other” not directed at Americans. And European snobbery has been on full display this week as pot shots are […]
Miami is not supposed to compete at basketball, certainly not in the mighty ACC. The small, private school in Coral Gables should not be rubbing shoulders with college basketball’s aristocracy. And yet, since Jim Larrañaga’s arrival, the Canes have done just that. In Larrañaga’s 11 seasons in Miami, the Canes have made the postseason 7 […]
It’s been 18 years since Miami won a major (at that time BCS) bowl game. And other than a minor blip in 2017, the program has largely not been in the national title conversation. Generally speaking a Renaissance of once proud programs is greeted with eager zeal. Who doesn’t want to see traditional powers rise […]
In the end, Manny Diaz left Miami the way he came in, unconventionally. The man who spent 15 days as head coach of Temple spent more than a week as Miami’s lame duck coach. The Canes finally made the only decision they could make, letting Manny Diaz go with Mario Cristobal announced as his replacement […]
Blake James walked off the field in Tallahassee, the victim of his own hubris, the physical manifestation of the University of Miami’s collective lack of ambition. The Hurricanes’ original sin was the overreaction to the Nevin Shapiro scandal. That reporting and the subsequent uninformed, hysterical media coverage resulted in a series of panicky, ill-advised moves […]
