Fifteen minutes to get into the top ten.
Yesterday
PIT to Carlos
"We will have this set of tyres for run 1 of Q2. And we do see more gusts of wind."
Yesterday
Through to Q2 💪
It's a very strong start to Qualifying here, and we are comfortably into part 2, finishing P5 and P7.
Yesterday
Alex Goes Purple! 🟣
It's purple through Sectors 2 and 3 and that should be enough to see Alex through.

Yesterday
Alex to PIT
"The tyres are really overheating for me"

Alex has boxed for Mediums and is up to P5 as it stands. Full focus now!
Lap 14/18.

Lap 12/18

Lap 11/18.

Lap 10/18.
Yesterday
Alex In The Points 💪
HAM is reporting a struggle to turn the car. Can Alex capitalise?
Lap 7/18.
Yesterday

Lap 6/18.

Yesterday
Carlos to PIT
"Track is ready to race."
Yesterday
Alex to PIT
"We can start. We don't need to do the extra laps."
Yesterday
Changing Situation ☔️
It's unclear whether this will be a standing start or a rolling start. Two laps behind the Safety Car as it stands.
Yesterday
PIT to Alex
"Alex, important info here. If it's a rolling start, then you're as you are. If it's a standing start, then the grid will close up, so you will switch to the other side of the grid."
Yesterday
PIT to Carlos
"When we have a window on the crossover, it will be our used medium."
Yesterday
We have a start time! 🟢
Racing will get underway at 12:28 local time.
Yesterday
Carlos to PIT
"What was the reason for this?"
"Probably unsafe starting condition. We don't have details but we guess visibility of standing water or the fact everybody has cold tyres behind safety car."
Yesterday
Red Flag! 🚩
The conditions aren't there yet. We are going to pause for a moment.
Yesterday
Formation Lap ☔️
We are underway at the Miami International Autodrome, and it's a wet one!
Yesterday
Tyre Choices 👀
Everybody is on the Inter tyres except Carlos, who is on the X-Wets. Could that pay off?
Yesterday
PIT to Carlos
"Formation lap will be starting behind the safety car, and there's potentially orange-red rain coming, 40 minutes away."
Yesterday
Rainy Weather 🌦️
It's no longer raining at the Hard Rock Stadium, but it's still very wet out there. We don't normally see pit stops in the Sprint Race, but this one could be different...
Yesterday
Time to Sprint! 💨
This is something we've never seen here before in Miami – at least in an F1 context. Who will come out on top here?
Yesterday
Hello from a rather damp Hard Rock Stadium 🌧️
Heavy rain out there right now, and it's caught out LEC on his formation lap – he won't take part in the Sprint...

02 May 2025
PIT to Alex
"Ok, we're just watching the front temps. Might need a bit of a wake-up on the out-lap. As soon as we've got some numbers we'll tell you."
02 May 2025
Box, box! 📝

Session Stopped! 🚩
BEA has come to a halt between turns 11 and 12. Doesn't seem like a big shunt and he is out of the car, but that may mean the end of any meaningful running in this session.
02 May 2025
Carlos goes 🔝

Welcome to the Miami International Autodrome, Formula 1's vibrant recent addition to the World Championship calendar, after its 2022 introduction.
Nestled within the Hard Rock Stadium complex in Miami Gardens, Florida, this circuit brings the spectacle of F1 racing to the heart of one of America's most iconic cities with a fast-paced layout that snakes around the stadium and, yes, a fake marina.
It's an instantly recognisable setting that matches the glitz and glamour of Miami, adding a distinctive flavour to the calendar, and combining top-tier motorsport with entertainment and luxury.
Circuit Overview:
Spanning 5.412 km (3.363 miles) with 19 turns, the Miami International Autodrome features a combination of long straights and tight corners, including the opening Sector 1 sequence around the stadium that brings a wholly new backdrop to the sport.
Sector 2 is a high-speed blast down a DRS straight, with overtaking possible into a technical complex of relentless corners and a tricky chicane before shooting the drivers into the final third.
A 1.2 km arrow-straight run into Turn 17 gives a great chance to pick up a tow from the car in front, and a hairpin left with a short run to the finish line concludes this like-no-other tour of Miami.
