Race 6 - 2025 Miami Grand Prix [Miami International Autodrome]

It was an interesting race while Piastri and Norris were fighting Max, but Mclaren car is just too fast for the field.

I loved it when Hamilton was told Sainz was 1.4 seconds behind. Do you want me to let him pass, too?

Looks like the earlier storms worked over the atmosphere and stabilized it around the track. Everything moving towards the track falls apart.

Apache juju l think.

The Ferrari pitwall came across as the dumbest on the paddock today. They let Antonelli off when they had the potential to take the race to him. I am not impressed.

Overall a fantastic race weekend. Both in the Sprint and race, strategy came into play as well as providing some twists and lucky breaks for some.

Piastri showed this race why he is leading the points this year. Though Max is never easy to pass, he made it stick fairly quickly and actually managed to force Max into a rare mistake. By comparison, though Lando had the pace to fight back from his poor desision on the first lap, he looked like a rookie trying to make the pass stick on Max.

The VSC mixed things up enough to bring some cars back into the fray, and the race stayed full of action until a lull near the end. George just barely got the VSC break, but made it stick with the softer tires. Lewis on the same strategy struggled and was salty when they didn't swap immediately, and again when he had to give the position back to Leclerc. It's a shame to see the theatrics from the Ferrari drivers when clearly the car isn't strong enough to justify the politics being played. Antonelli had a decent race overall. Williams was the standout in the finishing positions, they must be excited to see Albon in 5th and both cars in the points. Sainz tried right until the end, and Yuki had to keep fighting hard to overcome his pit lane penalty.

Though McLaren were obviously the car to beat this weekend, they ended up with some challenges. And Zak Brown made a good point when it was mentioned that Miami last year was where things started coming together for them. Last year they were 3rd in the championship at Miami, and Zak seems very aware how quickly things can change in F1.

One of the best overall weekends we have had in a while.
