McLaren's Lando Norris beat all odds and took victory at the Miami Grand Prix, his first win in Formula One after a few near misses and lots of second place finishes. Max Verstappen finished second as Charles Leclerc completed the podium for Ferrari.
In the race Verstappen had the same problems as in SQ. Unlike in hungary last year this time issues didnt sort themselves out. It'll be interesting to see if they can fix it for quali given that he said car was fine in FP1.
If they dont sort it out I predict first win for NOR.
Verstappen starts on used medium tires (3 laps). Leclerc next to him on front row with fresh rubber. Pérez also on used, behind him Ricciardo, Sainz and Piastri also on new set. #F1
The penalty is harsh. The speeding was with all cars being diverted through the pitlane. The risk and danger is much less when no pitstops are taking place.
As for the Norris incident. Stroll and Alonso pretty much pinched each other in. Hamilton rightly cannot be blamed for that one.
Hamilton kept on the apex with a tiny lock up.
Alonso Navigating to avoid Stroll was the main cause of that crash. 4 cars into one corner carries this risk.
Either way Hamilton displaying his arsenal of race tactics to get by mad man Magnussen and then Tsunoda. Both stout defenders.
Should be fun in a Ferrari.
Mercedes car still has some good qualities despite it being a midfeild car now. They are behind Vcarb and Aston for sure.

Terrible driving from Kmag. Haas win more points with Hulk as a result of illegal driving from the teammate, after they did the same at Saudi
FIA should have a serious word with Haas to ensure this doesnt happen again, otherwise there should be heavy fine to the team. He is an idiot that doesnt belong on a race track.
