Verstappen is only human and he can mistakes sometimes Grin

Sometimes Verstappen really makes us forget that he is also a human being lol. Joking aside he is really the driver with the least number of errors on the grid now. He is a driver that every team would like to sign. But he would always prefer a winner team. There have been Mercedes rumours for him but I don't think he would go there in the circumstances. But after the end of the 2025 season who knows what he will do with a change in balances.

The only luck was that SC entered just in time for Norris to take the lead after pitting. But in the remaining part of the race Norris drove really great.

After being on podium 15 times finally Norris also managed to win a race. By the way Verstappen made a mistake at a turn and the bollard he smashed caused a damage on his underfloor. This also affected Verstappen's pace after it. But I'm not saying this to underestimate Norris' victory of course.

Norris is one of the youngest top F1 drivers being 25 years old, so this is going to be very big motivation for him to continue with good results.
83 points is not far behind Leclerc and Perez and I am expecting him to try and take one of top positions in the end of season, But Sainz is there also.

By the way McLaren brought really big upgrades for the Miami Grand Prix. Norris used it in the best way obviously.

Next time the same thing is expected by Ferrari. They had a decent race in Miami but that position loss for Sainz made it worse. But Ferrari looks promising for the future. For Imola Grand Prix, I will consider giving a chance to at least one Ferrari driver. But it is always better to make predictions after seeing practice results. Tongue

It was strange what happen with Verstappen car because i dont know if the car really have big damage in the underfloor or maybe the car set up is not so good to follow other cars? I remember Mercedes having this trouble when they had the dominant car, anyways i think it was a combiantion of both because the gap keep increasing and with some fresh air Verstappen was never closing that gap.

Was Lando Norris lucky in Miami? Grin

I watched him giving interviews after the race was finished and he was so happy like little kid, you can see this was his dream.
He is not 24 years old, with 83 points collected in this season, and I think there is a bright future for him in Formula 1.
I cant say I expected him to be on podium but I didnt have time to watch any trainings and qualifications results.

Due to the subsequent demotion of Sainz by one position, the points have been reduced for most people, as they have for me, but nothing has changed in terms of the yellow cap.

The fact that such decisions always have to come so late from the FIA is still incomprehensible to me...

I had him exact and 1.5 points so now it means I have lost a position in the ranking yet I don't mind that much as most persons have also lost these points as I saw many to have him in 4th place.Anyway finally we are getting there where tracks are more beautiful,in Europe where hopefully emotions will be even bigger than they were in this last race in Miami.Can't wait for the legendary track of Imola after 2 weeks.

Great win for the neutrals, always nice to see a podium finish for cherry popper, even better a maiden win. He'll be celebrating that one! Luck, they say, but you got to grab those opportunities when they come by, don't you?

LTU_btc, Congratulations on your yellow cap mate.

I really messed up this week. Sad

I was expecting Norris to be on podium and put him to the 3rd position. To be honest I never expected him to win the race. Tongue

That SC really changed everything. Norris showed his best performance to get his first win in his career. Anyways it is still nice to be in top 10 but I need to play bigger for winning yellow caps. This is the only way to get closer to top positions in the leaderboard.

Now we have a one-week break before Emilia-Romagna.

Well congratulations to the winners of the pool and contest!.

Im very happy for Lando Norris, if one driver of the current grid deserve a win was him, he has worked so hard for it and for some unlucky circunstance never achieved the goal, but yesterday the planets were aligned and he took his first win.

My main question from yesteday was the poor performance made by Perez, fightin with a...... Mercedes....

The problem with Piastri was with the hard tires,they were not as good as the medium for him while for Lando in both cases,medium tires he was doing fast lap after fast lap and we saw that when he was told to get Sainz and he truly got him,he just got more than 3.6 seconds from Ferrari in just a couple of laps,the same story with the hard tires he was driving brilliantly and managed to put a big gap to Verstappen.

In this race I can't say my favorite phrase that Perez is the most mediocre driver as the Redbull car was not delivering during yesterday race so nothing to say against him for me in this race Grin

.

Norris was lucky not only because of safety car pit stop that he made - there was also error from safety car - they catched not race leader Norris, but Verstappen and then they had to fix this mistake. So, Norris got over 30 seconds advantage instead of 18. Anyway, still happy for him, wait for his first win was way too long. Even Verstappen looked happy for him.
Don't want to critisize Perez much, but his mistake in 1st turn after start ruined him whole race.

Congratulations also to LTU_btc for winning a Yellow Cap.
Interesting and close round, where Lando Norris had a lucky safety car, got in front of Verstappen and drove very well. Verstappen did not had any chance to catch Lando Norris.
Good drive from him and it's also nice to see someone different from Max Verstappen winning.
I'm very grateful for winning a free bet and compliments to @sportsbet for making such a contest possible.

Without that safety car Piastri most likely would have won the race by doing on the circuit and not being helped by external factors like Safety Car or Max who suddenly had no grip or couldn't turn the car anymore...but this sport will always deliver stories like this and Norris deserved a win in F1 way before this race but I'm glad he finally achieved one of his dreams. Now , I'm sure both Norris and especially Sainz just woke that version of Piastri that will make him simply unbeatable when he is racing anyone besides Verstappen. The kid is someone you don't want to poke when you race alongside him or against him.

Very well done by Lando, of course a bit of luck was involved with the safety car, but it's good to see McLaren at the front again.

For the pool I doubt anyone has made more than 15-16 points,I think if nothing changes I have made a nice 12.5 points because if someone has made more than 16 points I don't know how on earth they can have done it,although that Hamilton 6 and Russell 8 maybe gave them such a big boost.

Nobody expected Norris to win, so the points are very modest with a maximum of 14 in this round, and nobody expected Piastri to set the fastest lap either, but that keeps things exciting.

The Pool results are going to be interesting, for almost two years no other car other than RB or Ferrari has won... LN Winning by +7 seconds... Cool

Landon Norris 🎉🎊

Extremely happy for Lando first and secondly that my team won a race,that is absolutely amazing.I still can't believe McLaren executed such a good race without a single error and the Safety Car definitely gave them the luck needed to come first yet with the performance seen by Lando I am sure that after Safety Car,even he started behind Max he would have catch him and overtake him.

For the pool I doubt anyone has made more than 15-16 points,I think if nothing changes I have made a nice 12.5 points because if someone has made more than 16 points I don't know how on earth they can have done it,although that Hamilton 6 and Russell 8 maybe gave them such a big boost.

So nothing really changed in the qualifying with Verstappen doing first again yet I am happy with what I saw from the Ferrari pace during this official qualifying,they are 2nd and 3rd and this upgrade they have made is not final,I will check how they will do in the race and if they manage to be 2nd and 3rd in the race and the distance to Verstappen to not be that big of a distance then most likely I would be really hopeful when the full upgrade they will have at Imola,maybe we can see some other team fighting for victories in the true meaning of a battle and not sporadic wins like that of Sainz in Australia which was due only to Verstappen car failure.

The first pole position for Max Verstappen in Miami, if nothing tragic happens Max will win the race. The second position should go maybe to a Ferrari, but Perez still has some work to do, the car simply has to perform better. Mercedes have taken a step backwards with their updates, but Ferrari have definitely made up time on Red Bull, which is very good, even if it's not enough to beat Max.
