No problem, says !
What a drive!!
From last on the grid to a points-finish in P8?! ?No problem, says ! What a drive!! We endeavor to spotlight drivers who might not have received enough attention and coverage during the race, hence, for the Miami GP, our choice for Driver of the Day is Alpine's Esteban Ocon. Ocon started the race in 18th position and managed his tires in traffic, thereby extending his stint on the hard tires throughout the first phase of the race. His race truly came alive when the safety car gave him the opportunity to put on soft tires for a 10-lap dash at the end of the race. This 10-lap dash helped him finish the race in 8th place and be the sole point scorer of his team this weekend. Now if that is not worthy of the Driver of the Day, then what truly is?
Read about the day:
7th place in Miami Read about the day: Alfa Romeo s speed has been turning heads since the beginning of the season and this weekend has been no exception. Their car was legitimately the third fastest on the grid and Valtteri Bottas was truly holding his own against the advances of the Mercedes drivers. After this Miami GP, Alfa Romeo, which has regularly been in the spotlight due to Bottas' incredible performances, will surely be the team that everyone will be looking out for.
Miami, you were incredible though, loved every seconds of this week Disappointed that we didn’t have enough pace to win the race today but we’ll work harder than ever to get back on top in race pace. Miami, you were incredible though, loved every seconds of this week After Max Verstappen's overtake, there were already suggestions, even from the commentators, that the result might already have been decided in that moment. The Red Bull was able to stay ahead and even pull a gap over the Ferrari during the pit stop period. However, things got exciting when Leclerc attacked Max relentlessly after the safety car restart. If not Ferrari's deficit in straight-line speed, we might have seen a different result at the end of the Miami GP. The battle between Red Bull and Ferrari is going to go down to the wire this season and it's hard to expect either team to establish any kind of lasting superiority over the other due to the cost cap.
Watch all the key action from our first race in Miami
Mick and Seb tangle at Turn 1 Watch all the key action from our first race in Miami Mick Schumacher, after being under pressure for so long this season, appeared to, finally, be turning things around during the Miami GP. He had a clear advantage over his teammate in the race and looked destined for his first points finish near the end of the race. Sebastian Vettel, too, was putting together another measured performance, as he had made his way through the field and was fighting for points in his . However, as it turned out, a rather impetuous move by to sneak through , ultimately, resulted in both drivers incurring significant damage to their cars and falling out of the points. Just when it appeared that everything was falling in place for Mick, he lost out big time.

Max Verstappen closed down the gap to Charles Leclerc to less than 20 points in the championship The inaugural Miami GP is finally behind us now and saw Max Verstappen reducing the championship deficit to less than 20 points.

Disappointment of the weekend
McLaren s drop in form
McLaren fell from grace hard this weekend. After a few races where the team had shown relentless growth, the Miami GP might sticks out like a sore thumb for the British team. The McLaren drivers that were somewhat cruising into Q3 in the previous races struggled to make the same happen on Saturday. Mclaren was roughly the fifth or sixth fastest car on the grid and will be looking to bounce back at the next race.Feel-Good moment of the weekend
