Miami Formula One Grand Prix

[StevB]

Ferrari needed a good start and an aggressive attack to really have a good chance. Charles Leclerc needed to dive down the inside. But did not get it and Max Verstappen gets away.

Oscar Piastri going well. Up to third and challenging Charles Leclerc.

And Oscar Piastri up to second.

1, Max Verstappen (Red Bull)
2. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)
3. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
4. Carlos Sainz (Ferrari)
5. Sergio Perez (Red Bull)

Nico Hulkenberg is, along with Andrea de Cesaris, at the top of the list of most F1 races without a win at 208 races.
At the end of this race Nico Hulkenberg will have 209 races and no wins. Not his fault because he is a good driver but hasn’t had the car nor the luck to win or even be on the podium.

Max Verstappen does not seem quite dominant but still not under pressure.
Oscar Piastri is keeping within three seconds and the Ferraris are not far behind either.

Drama for Max Verstappen. Hits a bollard. Heavy hit but perhaps he has escaped damage. Virtual Safety Car to clear the track.

[StevB]

Max Verstappen pits. On to hard tyres. Out in fourth. Another safety car will disadvantage him badly.

[StevB]

1 Oscar Piastri
2 Carlos Sainz
3 Lando Norris
4 Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen is in no way guaranteed a win here.
He has not lost any race in America since 2021

[StevB]

Full Safety Car!
Last thing Max Verstappen needed.

Magnussen and Sargeant have crashed.

[StevB]

Lando Norris pits. Hard Tyres.
