Soooooooooooooooooooooo late!!! The moment of truth arrives, where the first points are distributed. In just over an hour (6:00 p.m.) will begin the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix Sprint Race. After a Friday where everything happened today we have the first race, yes, the short one, of only 19 laps. Fernando Alonso will have a difficult day, since it will go out octavo and they will have to come back if they want to add any more points, since if they remain in the same position they would only add one point. Carlos Sainz had a problem in the last corner, he blocked wheels and was unable to make a good lap and will start fifth, while a masterful Charles Leclercafter spinning in free practice he was able to finish second, 1 tenth behind. Max Verstappenwho did not feel comfortable throughout the session, until the end.
It will be a very close race, it seems that the improvements in the McLaren have worked and there will be a lot of fighting between the British and the Scuderiaalthough Lando Norris who was flying throughout the Qualy Sprint made a mistake and will start ninth. We will see if he can come back, but without a doubt he is a rival for Alonso, since the McLaren is much faster than the Aston Martin. There was a big surprise, Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian looks different since they changed the chassis and will start fourth in today’s race.
The disappointment was undoubtedly Mercedes. Neither of the two cars were able to advance to SQ3 and will start 11th and 12th, with George Russell ahead of Lewis Hamilton. They brought some improvements to Miami, but it seems that they have not worked at all. Qualifying begins at 10 p.m. and, although there will surely be battles, the drivers will be very careful not to break the cars. We’ll see what happens, but action is guaranteed. Let’s start!
