I missed Practice 2 but thanks to jakelyson for posting the results, but here are the Practice 3 and qualifying results, going to the main race,

Practice 3 2023 Miami Grand Prix Results

It was really a hard grip for the Miami International Autodrome Circuit most cars are surely hard at gripping their tires and sliding and struggling to control their balance, that turns 17 drivers need to shift their gear to make those crucial turns, and some are struggling with the Turn 14 and 15 crucially sliding and the tires not gripping at all, but in this Practice 3 Max Verstappen has happened to get his way in the top again Charles Leclerc got in the 2nd place while Sergio Perez 3rd and Carlos Sainz got the 4th place looks like Red Bull and Ferrari are the only team gaining momentum at the Miami Grand Prix,




QUALIFYING Miami Grand Prix Results

It was a shocker in this Qualifier that Lewis Hamilton was out and was really struggling in this Miami International Autodrome Circuit and in Q3 Charles Leclerc spun and goes to the wall, and Racers that are out in Q1 were Logan Sargeant, Oscar Piastri, Lance Stroll, Yuki Tsunoda, and Lando Norris, and on Q2 Nyck De Vries, Zhou Guanyu, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Hulkenberg, and Alexander Albon, while Valtteri Bottas in Q3 Did not make his start, and Max Verstappen did not finish on the Q3, it was really a shocker for what has happened for Verstappen, while Sergio Perez make it on the 1st place for the Qualifier, Fernando Alonso, 2nd and Carlos Sainz on the 3rd place,

I have watched the Trailer and Orlando Bloom is in that movie but the racer that Archie Madekwe was portraying was the story of a gamer turned GP racer and it was the story of Jann Mardenborough who won the Nissan GT academy and become a great race car driver it was an astonishing story actually and I really wish there are still Academies like that in turning gamer into a real pro racer, it will surely be sick, I think I will watch this movie, and just like David Harbour, I am really playing PlayStation but don't really like a sports game and Gran Turismo is one of those games, that I don't like because I am all about RPG games, but watching the Trailer it was a great movie so never the less it can be a great hit,


Right now Ferrari is pulling through I really think they did something with their machine for Charles Leclerc to hold on to that position and even Carlos Sainz was gaining momentum with Red Bull, for me a little push more than what they are doing right now, it surely Ferrari is holding out the 2nd position in the Practice 1 and 2 and in the Baku Circuit Ferrari also won a podium, so maybe a little wait and Ferrari might have a chance,

I don't see Ferrari actually making another pole today becase RedBull is standing way too good during corners and this track has a lot of them. However, I believe that Ferrari is still able to achieve a podium this weekend or even more , fight for a double podium because Perez is not so familiar with this track and it's not on his favorite ones. Same goes for Aston Martin as that car is designed for high speed corners and speed in general and Miami is a technical circuit that won't favorite them.

Maybe practice 3 will show different results and it will begin in about 3.5 hours.

She is beautiful, so there are girls in the F1 race and it is confirmed right now a girl named Jamie Laura Chadwick is working for the Williams team as a test driver and development driver the team wants her way inside the F1 race to compete as 1 of the boys I think that is very promising and will surely wait for her to get inside the F1 Grand Prix and compete as a legit racer, that will be cool,

Well, I missed the PF2 but will watch it later,


Oh! I have seen the trailer on Youtube but I don't know that Brad Pitt was the director of this Film and yes at the end of the trailer it says that it was a real-life story, And Grand Turismo is a very popular game surely it could be just a simulation for the real deal but the base Circuit was the actual Circuit for F1 races, so the Film revolves from that story and we all know gamers tend to have pictographic memory that for sure can be used in real life situations, for his advantage, well I really like the grand plot already,

Brad Pitt was currently filming a movie as the director last year and they were trying to interview him during one of the grand prix at the end of the season. But he declined as he knew they were trying to get information about it from him but he was being very secretive.
There should be more information about which driver this film he is producing is about by now. Since that was well over 7 months ago.
The movie which everybody is anticipating is Grand Turismo: A real life story focusing on a video game player who trains in real cars and races around them on F1 tracks so to become a race car driver in real life.

https://exclaim.ca/film/article/racing_dreams_become_reality_in_the_gran_turismo_trailer

Even they have some iconic movie stars in this. So if you watched the trailer which came out a few days ago, you would of thought it was a hoax and spoof of a movie being a fake out of some kind. But no it is a real movie release this summer slated for August.

Just finished watching P2 and it seems there is very little grip as some of the drivers veered off track quite easily including Leclerc damaging his Ferrari slamming into the wall while going too fast into turn 8.
Also Hulkenberg narrowly missed hitting a barrier while going just as fast, so he was lucky not to damage the Haas.
Hamilton and Russeil finishing 7th and 15th is showing just how bad Mercedes is doing in Miami and many are saying they still have time to get their act together before Emilia Romagna in Italy at the end of the month. Because this one is already lost for them to finish any higher than 5th.

I don't really know the full details of why we don't have female racers today but I have seen some interesting news about a female driver, if you know about Jamie Laura Chadwick she has experience with racing she won 3 W series and is not competing with Indycar NXT racing and currently a part of Williams team as a test driver and development driver for the team and maybe someday dreaming of competing in the F1 well I think he is the closest to become a female F1 driver right now,

F1 Miami Grand Prix Practice 2

And now practice 2 was finished and there are a lot of crashes and out-of-control cars and some frustrated drivers and even though Max Verstappen had some issues with the mechanic of his headdress and sitting position but still he finished the race with the fastest lap for the day with a 1:27.930 best time than Carlos Sainz in the 1st practice and that is why he landed in the 1st position for this practice 2 while Ferrari team Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc landed in the 2nd and 3rd position while Sergio Perez is having trouble but landed in the 4th place,

1.) Max Verstappen - 1:27.930
2.) Carlos Sainz - 1:28.315
3.) Charles Leclerc - 1:28.398
4.) Sergio Perez - 1:28.419
5.) Fernando Alonso - 1:28.660
6.) Lando Norris - 1:28.741
7.) Lewis Hamilton - 1:28.858
8.) Lance Stroll - 1:28.930
9.) Esteban Ocon - 1:28.937
10.) Alexander Albon - 1:29.046
11.) Pierre Gasly - 1:29.098
12.) Kevin Magnussen - 1:29.171
13.) Zhou Guanyu - 1:29.181
14.) Valtteri Bottas - 1:29.189
15.) George Russell - 1:29.216
16.) Oscar Piastri - 1:29.339
17.) Nico Hulkenberg  - 1:29.393
18.) Yuki Tsunoda - 1:29.613
19.) Nyck De Vries - 1:29.928
20.) Logan Sargeant  - 1:30.038

It was a Film about Michael Schumacher and it was a good one for the Schumacher or Ferrari fans, a team where Schumacher has become Champion that is why he is notable to the Ferrari franchise and gaining some popularity with some Shell Advertisements, FIAT car advertisements with Kimi Raikkonen, and a notable name drop of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari on popular movie cars by Luigi, but that was really Michael Schumacher that voice the Ferrari Car,

Practice 1 2023 Miami Grand Prix Results

George Russell make it the fastest time and ahead of Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, and Max Verstappen but we all know that this is just a practice race so no pressure for the Red Bull Team as Sergio Perez lands the 11 spots, while we got a variety of incredible designs of helmets for most racers, and a new paint job for the Red Bull Machine made by fans,

There will be a time in their career when they need to settle down and some will be hit by age harder, but for Fernando Alonzo, I think he is the one that can answer what he is feeling right now for me as long as he can drive just like everyone has said he can surely do it, right now Alonso is the Oldest driver present and he is considered 1 of the legend, so let the Legendary Fernando Alonso do what he does best,


WOW! a Schumacher film I have never seen it yet, maybe I will check that up later, actually, the F1 series is quite the show and I am really learning so much and surely knowing most of the Drivers in F1 and the past Drivers, Circuit the new Grand Prix place, it is so much to see actually I am craving for the new seasons, but right now I haven't finish season 1 yet,

I think Practice 1 and 2 will be today or tomorrow depending on the time difference but I just surely can't wait for the Practice to start to see the Circuit live, here is the link for Practice Run on Sportsbet

F1 Miami Grand Prix 2023-Practice 1

Well, there are tons of series on Netflix that people are just staying they even have movies but most likely series, was likely the thing that they are itching to watch, most likely Korean Dramas here in my country, were the ones that are popular, but indeed I will look for those series about F1 I really think it is surely interesting and will look for that photo aswell,


I think the Youtube Algorithm is working perfectly fine I got tons of ads and even recommended videos about the F1 race and yeah I had come across a film about Michael Schumacher when he was still starting the F1 No actually the story of his life in a film, I guess this is really interesting we got to see past champions of the F1 race, and that is not too far in the year of Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, I always thought that it is a great thing to see something like this once in a while just for a change,


Nice! That is one interesting find, I never thought that a female racer could actually be real, and I really don't know that women can compete in the F1 what has happened why did it stop, I always dream of driving my own F1 machine since the day of the great Michael Schumacher just seeing him on videos and commercial about the F1 but yeah that is why I really like Ferrari just because of that 1 advertisement about the F1 Ferrari machine, but yeah until Renault and Fernando Alonso reign begins,

I also think that Fernando Alonso can still shake things up if he is able to drive then he can race, even at the age of 60 we can still drive but I think age 60 should be retiring from the race, for sure but I guess Alonso can still make 3 years that is just my opinion regarding his age of 41 but just like what you have said it is still up to Alonso if when he will retire for sure he is arranging something about it, and searching the age of all F1 racers I manage to get most information Fendando Alonso being the oldest in the group, next is Lewis Hamilton with age 38 and Nico Hulkenberg 35, making Logan Sargent, Yuki Tsunoda, and Oscar Piastri young lads of just 22 years old, now I feel older. 


WOW! There is a demo for this game right, but I never knew there was a simulation machine available, well not in my country because F1 was really not popular here, and I think there is no Grand Prix Circuit here as well maybe because of the Budget cost, but anyway that game was sick and maybe a woman for a driver of the F1 that is so cool, and talking about women drivers I think we got that back in 1992 it was the last year for a women driver to compete and that was Giovanna Amati, and here is the list for anyone that is Curious because right now he only has women for test drivers, and that is Susie Wolff,

F1 2023 official trailer for those who been playing the Codemasters game on their racing simulator machines.
Out on June 16th so this iteration of the very popular EA games series comes out earlier than the one last year.

41 years old is not an old age to race, but surely it will have a deteriorating effect on the eyes of most racers if Alonso can feel his age affecting him I think he will make a decision in doing so but for the time being if he wants to race let him be actually searching about Alonso I am finding that he is surely a likable not only just a racer but as a person, and I think that is more important the charisma of a driver even though he isn't getting much with racing against the Red Bull Team at least he is trying his hard,

But let's not make decisions for certain racers I think they got a mind of their own and can make their own decisions,


Can Steve share the photo here, well I am not doubting him I just want to see, actually I really haven't seen Sportsbet Steve yet, but Fernando Alonso will have a lot of seasons for him for me 3 to 4 years or even 10 he can likely do it if he got the right mindset over things, and right now I am waiting for the right Machine to be upgraded and can compete with the likes of Red Bull team, I got to say it is really hard for Alonso at the meantime but he still has the skills and experience to make an upset for the Current leaders, so with a newer machine of Aston Martin I think he can likely do something new, Let's just wait for it to happen.

^^
Alonso looks like he has a few more seasons left in him actually.
Making two podiums in a row right at the beginning of the season is no mere feat in the F1 circuit having the likes of Lewis and Max to contend with.
Plus I think Sportsbet's Steve even had a photo with him I had seen from the unveiling event of the Aston Martin 2023 car.
So he is still a fan favorite, no matter what age he is at.
Plus Stroll's father who is the owner of the team sees Fernando as a great teacher for his son. And he has even joked about it on some of the radio clips I had heard as well.

Here are the current odds of the Miami GP before any of the practice and qualification races have begun:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/formula-1/outrights

Alonso was a big winner back in his day and he is a great driver as well, at the end of the day he is older though, sure his experience helps him but the reflexes start to slow down when you are that much older at the moment. I know that he is doing fine this season with Aston Martin but the fact is that they do have a great car, I bet that they are second best car and maybe Ferrari could fight for that, but they are doing definitely great, so far second best car.

This is why I feel like maybe there is something to talk about there, maybe there is an issue there basically. Alonso should race as long as Aston Martin can't find a better driver, but if they can find one, I think Alonso should retire at the end of this season.

Yes, Ferrari surely has a great run in the recent Azerbaijan GP, but it was not enough for Charles Leclerc in winning I think it has to do with the machines because I have read that the Red Bull Machine is quite advanced that it got lightweight Aerodynamics technology that only Red Bulls cars have, while the Ferrari obviously will not advance if they keep on saying they will upgrade their car but the truth is they can not do it, The F1 that I have known was Michael Schumacher's run and it was very popular back then from 2000 up to 2004 he has held the title 5 times and the machine of Ferrari become well known and because Fernando Alonso was really the driver that I look up to with his Renault Machine back then and right now Aston Martin, it then doesn't upgrade and find ways to topple the reigning champion and get the source of why Red Bull machine was so fast then other teams will not get what they want,

But Yeah Red Bull right now is on the top and they seem kind of laid back for now and they don't worry so much about the following expenses because they are currently on top, while the next GP will be the Miami GP, right now both leaders have a 2 - 2 wins Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen both red bulls are fighting for the crown, can sergio perez becomes the leader or Max Verstappen remains at the top,

What can I say, Fernando Alonso is a cool-looking guy he can surely chill everywhere and with every driver he encounters, and that is why he is loved by many fans, I really wish many will get his funny side even though there are some altercations that have happened I can not think of any of that happened that he had frustrated because of it, and I can say again that he is a mature chad guy, not like Max Verstappen that is a cry baby, but no hate for Verstappen because we all have a different attitude and Verstappen is surely like that I really think that George Russell is the one that is right here this is a race and just because Russell doesn't want to let his past doesn't mean it is personal, this is every man for himself,

But Like I have said there is no hate for Max Verstappen, but Fernando Alonso is a more likable guy, in my opinion,


For me I am likely excited about every race, pretty much maybe I am curious if the Red Bull team can still make their lead and take the championship, or if other teams will take over, there is not much that may happen in my opinion but still if you find F1 to be dull or getting repetitious I think F1 race is not for you, you just need to search for something that will not suddenly crash to the barricade and doesn't have the same thing that is happening every season,

For me, I found this GP to be ridiculously monotonous, despite bringing some very interesting changes to the leaderboard.

Sergio Pérez's victory was a big surprise for me, even though he triumphed in the sprint race on Saturday, I already expected Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc to complete the podium, but my bet for victory was on Fernando Alonso this time. Unfortunately my gamble didn't pay off this time.

Anyway... let's see if things improve in the next GP and we have a little more action to watch.

MattP1Tommy those F1 Heads said the exact same thing actually: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ou4nTG3dXug
It did have it's moments to be honest.
There were some onboard footage when Hamilton overtook several drivers which was nice to look at.
Only a 1 minute clip of the 12:47 minute video from the Official F1 youtube channel put up a few hours ago on their main page.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA5n4BhltX0

It was more like a primer for the FIA then and some extra footage for the DTS series for next season.
Fair enough.

@YuginKadoya

That's the spirit! Let's get into the fun of racing again in Miami this weekend and celebrate it like Fernando usually does.

from: Fernando Alonso being a legend for 8 minutes straight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyi5q1mu7OY
Expecting him to podium this weekend for sure!

It is the Miami Grand Prix, I think the excitement of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix is not yet finished there is a lot that happens from there on from a cat crossing Charles Leclerc's path and I never noticed it at the start, Max Verstappen and George Russell altercation were it left a hole in the side of the Red Bull Machine, and who is wrong and who is right, and a lot of cars bashing through wall and barricade and wheels separated from their cars, Azerbaijan has a lot and I think getting into all of it in Summary here is the video of the 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

But moving forward to Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2023 now the real-time schedule for the Miami Grand Prix,

MAY 05 - Practice 1 will be 14:00 - 15:00 / Practice 2 will be 17:30 - 18:30

MAY 06 - Practice 3 will be 12:30 - 13:30 / Qualifying will be 16:00 - 17:00

MAY 07 - RACE - 15:30

All information was from Formula 1


Well, many will not notice it, and that 1-week hiatus of no F1 race was just a bluff they are upgrading their machine or fixing something on the Machine but there are no changes to performance and what so ever, Well, it kind of just the same on what happened in the past, definitely will be watching the series there might be something that I may see from it,

It was.

They canceled the old F1 cars with an epic battle between Mercedes and RBR with the excuse "we will create new cars where it will be easier to follow and surpass"

Result?
After 1 year in Baku with 70% of the open engine, faster cars with new tires were able to overtake people with 50 laps old seconds, slower per lap.
