2026 Miami Grand Prix

It's go time for the sprint!

 

[donthaveanickname]

All it took was a five-week break and Mercedes no longer has the edge.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Four different teams in the first two rows.

 

[Iceman]

I need Mercedes vs Red Bull again.

Or for Ferrari to find a way to close instead of playing the perpetual bridesmaid. Looks as though McLaren has jumped them.

 

[Iceman]

Kimi Antonelli makes it three poles in a row.

Verstappen does Verstappen things to get Red Bull back on the front row.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Race has been moved forward three hours due to threatening weather.

 

[Doc Austin]

Maybe it's a bit early to count Red Bull out.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Mercedes aren’t bringing their first real update package until Canada. IF they manage to win with Antonelli tomorrow, it would be a huge statement considering what the other contenders have brought.

Both Antonelli and Verstappen have struggled on starts this season so Leclerc could be in great position to take an early lead once again.

 

[Doc Austin]

Looks like rain his going to hit at the halfway point. Could shake up the order.

I like how F1 is serious about avoiding the bad weather. NASCAR usually moves the race up 10 minutes or maybe a bit longer which does nothing.

Yeah no there'll be a safety car after the first single-car spin and a red 5 minutes later.

F1 doesn't have to work around network scheduling.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That was quite a bit more dramatic than I expected.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Pretty impressive that no one hit Max.
It's not like they have spotters.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Gasly found a rather creative parking spot.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hadjar is filling nicely into the “Red Bull driver who inexplicably turns into an amateur upon taking the second seat” role.

 

[donthaveanickname]

It ain't gonna rain.

Waitaminute. F1 doesn't use spotters? How about any of its feeder series?

Spotters are completely unheard of outside of North American championships.

Nope, I remember Jenson Button was blown away by it after experiencing it in the select NASCAR starts he made a few years ago.

 

[donthaveanickname]

DA **** CHUCK?!?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Phenomenal drive from Kimi going head-to-head with the reigning champ.

 

[Doc Austin]

Can anyone remember the last time Max spun on his own?

 

[virtualbalboa]

Can anyone remember the last time Max spun on his own?

I remember seeing him loop it in front of me in Austin 2023. Still a long time ago.

 

[Doc Austin]

Max spun in front of 20 other cars and drove it out straight without getting hit. Impressive.

 

[Doc Austin]

Please look at this and make sure you can get it.

I can confirm I can get it, although I didn't watch it.

 

[Doc Austin]

Thanks.
