F1 GP Miami: Sainz accident and Alonso made it into the Top-5

It’s not comfortable. And in places as hard as Miami, it shows more. sainz said that in Imola that he still hadn’t done what he wanted with the car, that the Ferrari F1-75 still hadn’t landed in his field. That’s your top priority at the beginning of this course. It cost him a lot in a single-seater that fits Leclerc’s driving very well. And Carlos keeps trying. For this you need to roll like a top. That’s why his retirements hurt so much for the first time Australia and Emilia Romagna. The points didn’t hurt him, but the 600 kilometers he lost to continue adapting. So, he faces a huge challenge in Miami. On a very difficult circuit where drivers suffered more than any other new track to go fast, Carlos had more difficulty driving a car where he was not himself. If you are not comfortable, on other types of slopes you can save it. Not here. On paths as dangerous and difficult Miami you will pay for that, since you don’t insist because you don’t have trust. And if you do, you’re closer to mistakes. Carlos he’s trying to push Free Practice 2. He’s the best on the track with the best time. But there, when he was looking for his limits, he climbed the wall.

Carlos stands out in many things in F1, but most of all, for his perseverance and lack of setbacks. In this car, in the last three races he has had three. the mistake of Australia on the first turn. the of Imola on ‘worthy’ and this in FP2 of Miami. On such a track, the news was even worse, as his vehicle hit one of the protective walls with 40 minutes left in the session. So, he lost multiple laps to continue to have the confidence that he needs to recover in Free Practice 3 before ‘qualy’ this Saturday (10:00 pm / DAZN F1).

But after failure, Carlos always gets up. He proved it against ‘tifosi’ at Imola on his return to the ‘Sprint Race’ on Saturday, from 10th to 4th in less than 21 laps. You can show your strength of mind again in another good ‘qualy’ this Saturday. Shock is unrelated. This Saturday the sun will rise again for him, although it may only be metaphorical, as it could rain in Miami in a ‘qualy’ that seems exciting due to circuit difficulties.

On this track with very fast sections and at the same time like a slow and thundering zone (from turn 11 to 16), the teams had a hard time finding the right balance. In addition, the asphalt is very green and the layout leaves no room for mistakes. The ‘qualy’ can be very busy and many interruptions are expected, more fuel in the fire fighting for the pole.

Verstappen, who had problems and led Russell; 5th is Alonso

Took the first position George Russellagain left feeling better than his partner, 7-time champion Lewis hamilton. The 24-year-old, with a Mercedes which improved its rebound, which exceeded 0 “106 Leclercat 0 “212 to Perez and at 0 “241 to Hamilton, incl Fernando Alonso in fifth place at 0 “434.

FP2 is full of interruptions, due to the crash of sainza problem of Verstappen or a catastrophe in Williams from Latifi. This prevented vehicles from completing scheduled programs and shooting what they wanted. For this reason, it is not known whether the result shown by the classification is fully representative.

Yes, there seems to be a clear improvement Mercedes along with improvements made Miami. But there are other doubts. Leclerc said it was his machine ferrari make a strange noise at turn 14 and 15. And most of all, Verstappen He only made one lap in Free Practice 2 due to a reliability problem with his Red Bull.

The Dutch driver was not very on board in the first training sessions, and between session and session, they worked ad estajo in his box to fix any disaster. But when it got off the track, the right rear tire of the car caught fire. RB18 due to a possible hydraulic problem. Max He will need to make up for the time lost in Free Practice 3 and face qualifying with fewer accumulated laps on such a delicate track. And moreover, rain may appear.

Finished in fifth position Fernando Alonso may a Alpine which showed a big step forward from Free Training 1 to Free Training 2, a symptom that the work of the first session was not focused on the real performance of the car and it was in the other tests. Fernando hopes his bad luck in Miami will end and he is confident. You want good results.
