Half an hour before the United States 1 Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami, the threat of rain and electric storm was very serious, but in the final minutes the situation stabilized and the race could be played. And it was a show, especially in the first laps. Verstapen started from the “pole” and at the Norris departure he wanted to snatch the leadership … and for the umpteenth time the English fell back into the trap of the four -time world champion. Red Bull’s defense was brilliant. Again, McLaren’s pilot showed the ghosts of his nickname again, “soft” Norris.
The British fell to the fourth place for this confrontation and then Verstappen had to deal with Piastri. The Australian was smarter than his partner. The overtaking was slowly cooked, pressed to his rival and finally caused Verstappen’s error, which was stopped and that allowed Pastri to take the leadership. And once McLaren was seen first, he began to throw like a beast and there was no longer the one who disturbed him.
The Red Bull’s, with a clearly lower car, gave a whole driving lesson until he could do more. Then Norris happened to him, yes, with a difference in the degradation of an important tire and something later did Russell. From that moment on, with two virtual neutralizations that helped the pilots not wasting too much time in boxes, the race almost had no major emotion in the lead.
Norris was not able to reduce the distance with his partner, which he lost in his battle with Verstappen and Piastri, which was more alive, won an important victory that ranges even more in the World Cup leadership. A problem for Norris … Behind, Albon made a great race ahead of Antonelli and two Ferrari, who touched the ridiculous with the strategy and management of their pilots from the wall. Sainz was ninth and follows his period of adaptation to Williams, who in his partner ended fifth. In the end he had a touch with Hamilton and is currently being investigated. The worst of the weekend went to Alonso. The Aston Martin intends his worst moment and the Asturian ended up penultimate just ahead of his boxes, Stroll. Maddening.
