Subsequent week’s Components 1 race is a Miami first however for a few of the stars of the observe, the race is a homecoming.
“I imply, for me, particularly, it’s going to be fairly cool,” Nicholas Latifi, 26, who drives for the Williams Staff, informed The Put up. “Outdoors of Toronto, the place I grew up, Miami is the place I did most of my karting and racing.”
Latifi, who will probably be driving with teammate Alex Albon within the Might 8 Miami Grand Prix, says that whereas most of his time in South Florida was spent coaching and at his household’s trip house in Boca Raton, he’s wanting ahead to attending to know South Seashore this 12 months from his race week perch on the W Lodge South Seashore.
“We do get to go to very good and thrilling locations for Components 1, clearly. However as a driver, you’re there for work firstly. So yeah, undoubtedly will be unable to partake in late-night actions,” Latifi stated. “However thankfully, I’m coming in a bit of bit earlier simply to sort of get acclimatized to the jetlag, so I’ll have a couple of days off to simply calm down.”
Forward of Miami’s most enjoyable racing occasion, Latifi informed The Put up about his Miami and coming to grips with the brand new course.
What do you consider this new observe?
A brand new observe usually is all the time a really thrilling and distinctive problem for drivers and groups. I all the time love discovering new tracks. It’s enjoyable to see how shortly you will get the rhythm of it, you already know, discover your references and actually rise up to hurry.
Particularly, a free observe [like the Miami International Autodrome], is all the time enjoyable. There’s all the time a unique component, getting dragged into the partitions and attempting to guage every little thing. I used to be going to say it’s a must to be centimeter excellent, however actually it’s millimeter excellent — it’s the distinction between one thing good and one thing not so good.
You’re Canadian, however inform me about your relationship to South Florida.
It’s sort of a Canadian factor to go to Miami within the winter. We’re whole snowbirds.
As a child, I’d go on holidays with my household, particularly over Christmas breaks into New Yr. However then there has simply been a number of karting within the winter. The place I used to be from, there’s a number of snow within the winter so most likely two weekends out of the month within the winter, I used to be down in Florida, performing some races and spending a number of time there. In more moderen years, I’ve all the time gone down there for my winter coaching camps and I had driving services there. So yeah, I’m very conversant in Florida usually and Miami particularly.
So was all of it work, or did you make time for enjoyable?
If you’re there for driving, it’s the observe, the resort, the airport and you then’re off. I’d say more often than not I spent there was for racing functions — driving decided the place I stayed.
However my household used to have a winter place in Boca Raton, however on the similar time, we’ve additionally spent a number of time, and possibly extra time, down within the Sunny Isles. After I’ve gone extra not too long ago, that’s the realm the place I have a tendency to remain. Generally I’ve been a bit of bit nearer to town heart in Brickell and that space.
My brother goes to the College of Miami, so I’ll meet up with him as a result of I haven’t seen him because the Christmas holidays. And that permits me to go to some good eating places.
Do you’ve a favourite Miami resort or restaurant scene?
So far as resorts go, the W Lodge South Seashore is unquestionably my favourite place to remain. Undoubtedly wanting ahead to going again there.
I’m a giant fan of Asian eating places so Zuma involves thoughts, in fact, and Komodo. We additionally go to Milos.
Are you feeling assured forward of the race?
Our group has been good going into new tracks, getting on prime of what we have to do and how one can optimize the automobile. It’s going to be a superb alternative for us hopefully. On the similar time, now we have to be real looking. We’re not within the place we need to be. But it surely doesn’t take away from the joy of arriving in Miami to expertise a brand-new occasion. I’m very a lot wanting ahead to that.
With our Miami Dolphins hosting the New England Patriots tomorrow afternoon, I asked the two customary prediction questions this past week. Below are the questions, with some of your answers to each.
A) What will be the final score in this week’s Miami Dolphins game against the New England Patriots?
B) What other predictions do you have for the upcoming game against the Patriots? (stars of the game, etc.)
Alley Gator sees the Phins win by reverting to their old ways.
I expect a big dose of Rhamonde Stevenson running and receiving, short passes to TE’s Hooper and Henry to try to keep our offense off the field. Last week, the Rams WR’s Puka and Kupp both went over 100 yards on the Patsies, so we’ll revert to bombs away to Hill and Waddle. NE dominates time of possession, but we win on a couple of big plays. Dolphins 21, Pats 13
Alpha6 has the Dolphins more than double up on the Pats off a solid day from the defense.
Points: Dolphins 35, Cheatriots 17 There will be a pick 6 by the Dolphins’ D. There will be 4 sacks by the Dolphins’ D to go with that.
62Lou predicts that the overwhelming talent of the Phins wins the day.
Miami SHOULD WIN this game, at home against a rookie QB.
These division games are tough tho, and I expect a real fight. But Miami simply has TOO MUCH TALENT TO LOSE, unless McNerd and Tua blow it.
NO EXCUSES – FIRE THE NERD IF WE LOSE…
Miami 27 NE 20..
the spread of Miami at -7.5 is too much, we barely covered last week at the 3:19 mark in the 4th qtr. a blown coverage on the TE saved us, after needing 10 and 12 play drives all day, we got a cheap one.
DolphinsKings1 sees domination on both sides of the ball.
Pathetics 16 Dolphins 40 (I see a smack down)!
PASSING (244 in the air)
Tua 27 of 37 244 yards 3 TD’s Ints 0
RUSHING (214 on the ground)
Achane 25 carries 91 yards 1 TD
Wright 11 carries 96 yards
Mostert 9 carries 27 yards
RECEIVING
Jonnu 9 catches 69 yards 1 TD
Hill 8 catches 83 yards
Waddle 6 catches 57 yards 1 TD
Achane 4 catches 35 yards 1 TD
KICKING
Jason 4 for 4 FG’s 33,27,23,and 27
1 Punt
DEFENSE (only allows 187 total yards)
3 Sacks – Campbell 1, Holland 1 FF and R, and Sieler 1
2 Interceptions – Poyer 1 and Kohou 1
daytonadolfan is a day late but was shorted no dollars…
A day behind but I think it will be 31-13 Dolphins!
finfanfromsiam has the Phins winning a close one.
This is still a division game so not going to predict a blowout. We have a tendency to make rookies and nobodies into Montana. So going with 23-16. For stars of the game going with Jonnu and Achane.
David7777 is predicting the Pats to have their worst game of 2024. That’s a very low bar!
Worst game of the year for the Patriots
3 Interceptions and 2 Fumbles D-Line all over Maye this game
Dolphins 42-10
Tua2HillWaddle sees the defense keeping New England out of the endzone.
Fins 29-12. 2 fumble recoveries and 2 pics deep in NE territory. Defense only allows 4 fg’s.
EzDz73 predicts a struggle of a game resulting in a win by a TD for Miami.
This will likely be another hard fought division game. I predict the Fins for the win, 27-20
heatforlife sees Juliann Hill’s play as an indicator of the direction of the team.
when juliann hill has a good game u know things are trending in the right direction.pats gonna be a close game .think we win but not by much.30 24 fins.need fuller back healthy kohou on the bench forever.duck cb 3 cam cb4 kohou cb0.
Dolfanjoe believes that the Pats are already tanking.
Pat’s battling for the # 1 spot in the draft! Which they are hoping to trade for first-rounders for years to come. They will put on a show and see it Fins 27 Pat’s 17 . 10 – 10 at halftime worrying the local supporters !
SabanpickedCulpepper is unhappy with the new ball control offense that the Phins are running.
Defense needs to force punts, when our offense takes 8 minute drives and kicks fgs and our D can’t get off the field it’s counter productive. We’re actually decreasing our number of offense possessions
Spok507 is a fan of the new ball-control offense.
One game at a time. Ball control and clock control will bring us a win and we inch closer to getting a play-off berth. It’ll be a complete change of pace for the Fins to actually be peaking at the right time of the season and have some forward momentum carrying them into the Thanksgiving Prime Time game at Green Bay. I’m ready for it. Just concentrate on beating NE; control the LoS on both sides of the ball, stick with the ground game, take what the defense gives and force NE’s rookie QB into making mistakes.
As for the injury report, maybe Poyer should actually practice instead of ‘rest’ — seems like he could use the reps. McMorris was a full participant, so maybe he’ll see action and replace Poyer. We can only hope. Fuller is still out due to concussion, but this is week 3, so I’m hoping he’ll be off the list soon. We need Kohou back in the nickel and not covering the boundry until he remembers how to tackle. We also need Ingold back to help the run game. We’ll know more after today’s injury report.
SlayerNation1 predicts that the Phins will win but once again fails to close out a game early.
MIA 27 NE 16
Similar to last week, Miami never trails but allows
NE to hang around unnecessarily, until the 3rd quarter.
NE will extend drives with Maye’s mobility and easy pitch and catch to TEs Henry/Hooper.
Miami’s newly found ball control offense works again due to the fact they never trail. Waddle and Holland again do very little. Jonnu and Achane are the offense again,
TommyNascar believes that we should have already given up on the season.
We will win, end up 9-8, miss the playoffs and stuck in the mediocrity cycle. I would rather we lost out starting a few weeks ago, pull the tooth now, get the #1 pick and grab a new qb to start building for the future. I just don’t see championship caliber here now.
Well that’s our random selection of comments this week. There is a lot of positivity from the fans, at least here at the Phinsider overall. Well, from most of you. Time will see! Thank you to each of you who took the time to read and comment on our question of the day post. Please join us tomorrow afternoon for our live thread to follow our Miami Dolphins against the New England Patriots.
