2026 Miami Grand Prix - Miami Intl. Autodrome, May 01 - 03

We have to give some credit where it’s due.
Fair play to the F1 stakeholders for being proactive, moving the start time forward and getting this race to run its course

That was hectic- what a race!!!!

Kimi giving great vibes. What a driver. Fantastic to drive like that against the current world champion like that.

Phenomenal drive by Kimi and Lando. Completely dominated the rest.

Particularly impressed with Kimi. People thought Toto made a mistake bringing him so young. Yeah well, Verstappen wasn't perfect either in 2015, but in 2 years he was proving himself on track. Same thing is happening with Kimi now. Absolutely mega job to perform so well under pressure.

Now let's see what Mercedes has in store for Canada. I am hoping it's not super significant. This season is starting to get bearable with things getting closer at the top. I think RedBull is almost there with Max as well, they're bound to join the battle at some point.

I hate this track and race but that was decent

[FrukostScones]

please bring back the V8's and processional races, that was unacceptable, especially for trackside spectators.

Good race. Close following, overtakes, hard to find anything to be disappointed about.

Sure some will.

The balance of energy limitations in race trim was a lot better than the previous races. Closing speeds were lesser. Drivers were having to go all the way to the brake zone to make their moves. F1 has to find compromise between old and new fans. We are close to what that looks like.

Out of curiosity is it raining now given that the race would be starting in 10 minutes?

Miami was never going to be a circuit to expose the very worst of the new power unit regs.

The changes do seem promising though, I’m glad the overtaking hasn’t been lost, just the yo-yo potential has been reduced. Qualifying does still feel a bit flat, but on balance an exciting race is better for the sport than exciting qualifying.

Who did Antonelli kiss in Parc ferme there? I'm calling the police!!

My dawg is washed up. Moving onto the Antonelli bandwagon for this year.

Relax, it's his little sister!

This is one of the most energy rich circuits on the calendar. IIRC only Monaco and Singapore have more harvestable braking available. Lets wait and see how things look in Canada before saying the changes made any real difference.

We already had China which was also energy rich and it was a yo-yo fest.

2 of the straights in Miami had 250kW MGU-K power limits. The superclipping was more powerful. So they drained the energy more slowly and they could charge faster. That's part of why driver's could overtake one another over the course of 2 laps instead of yo-yoing for 10 laps. It made it feel like drivers could actually accomplish a pass that they earned, rather than to just lose their position immediately every single time in order to create a social media friendly gimmick.

We are straddling the lines of actual sport and entertainment.
