Vale Alex Zanardi

Such an inspiring and amazing bloke. Gone way too soon, but lived an incredibly full life. RIP.

Due to thunderstorm warnings? Definitely a replay for me.

Think I might enjoy the sprint race later - knowing how it ends!!

You'll enjoy the full race as well

A good race. The F1 Mini coverage was terrible, and even the main coverage a few critical overtakes were missed!

Spoiler: Comment

... still trying to work out how Russell overtook Piastri for 4th on advent of Yellow Flag/Safety car

I watched the full race, which was great. I'm glad Oscar got a podium finish. And the first lap was an entertaining as ever. Verstappen should go and buy a lottery ticket after he spun in the first lap and didn't get taken out by anyone.

Yes, great recovery by VER and LEC with their spins. Even if LEC dropped a couple of places.

Stewards have given LEC a drive through (ie a 20 second) penalty for leaving the track multiple times on his last lap. Puts him down to 8th.

Obviously early days, and ofc it's circuit dependant, but I thought the slight changes to the new regs actually really helped the racing - especially at a usually dogwater track like Miami. Still a bit of yo-yo, but it did feel like drivers could actually show their skill and race.

VER penalised as well for a crossing the white line on pit exit. But thanks to LEC's penalty, VER retains his finishing position.
