The domination of McLaren and the beautiful race of Albon and Russell but also the error of Doohan or the setbacks of Ferrari, find the tops and flops of the GP of Miami.
Tops
McLaren above the lot
The competition was rejected over thirty seconds and the worst is that papaya cars did not forced. Oscar Piastri, fourth on the grid, dominated this race in Florida, his third victory in a row and the fourth in six races. The Australian preceded his teammate Lando Norris but the two pilots were in another galaxy compared to the rest of the peloton. The two pilots stand out in the world championship with 131 points for Piastri and 115 for Norris but above all we wonder who will be able to realize with McLaren this season.
Alex Albon very solid
Sixth and seventh on the grid, the Williams had a great opportunity to score big points and Alex Albon did not miss this opportunity with a good fifth place, well helped by the mid-race virtual safety car which allowed him to waste less time at the stands. Then the Thai has rhythm and the Ferrari or Antonelli and Sainz could not follow his rhythm. 10 points deserved.
-Russell sneaks on the podium
Fifth on the grid and fifth throughout the first part of the race, George Russell also benefited from the virtual safety car caused by the abandonment of Bearman. He lost less in the stands and came out third just ahead of Verstappen. In mediums, he quickly created a three -second gap and then managed his gums well to finish third. Solid.
Flops
Doohan, one last outing?
Rumors announced that Jack Doohan would not be on the grid at Imola in fifteen days. Contested since his appointment at Alpine, the number 2 driver was 14th on the grid but his race lasted only two laps after a shock from the start with Liam Lawson. A new error for the Australian who could mean the end of his contract at Alpine.
Ferrari back
Very complicated weekend for Scuderia. Not in the blow despite a third miraculous Lewis Hamilton in sprint. In the race, the Ferrari could not do better than a seventh place for Charles Leclerc and than a eighth for Hamilton. Above all, the two pilots have annoyed strategic choices taken by the team and this promises a spicy debrief. Ferrari remains the most in difficulty top team and already six races have taken place. Worrying.
