Synonymous with success in 2022

This year, whenever he starts on the pole, he wins.
Charles Leclerc’s four victories in Formula 1 came from pole position. Monegasque achieved 11 poles in total and is the driver in Ferrari’s entire history, with at least two wins, with the worst average of wins relative to the number of poles (0.36). Monegasque has occupied his third pole in 5 races at this Miami GP and wants to achieve his third victory of the year.

Charles wanted to break the losing streak

In the United States

Max Verstappen, Red Bull, is the last winner in a race held in the United States (Austin 2021), while Charles Leclerc has only once entered the podium in eight Grand Prixes held in North America (USA, Canada and Mexico) : He was third in Canada 2019 and never got a drawer in the United States.

A damaging fact …

relating to mercedes

Mercedes achieved pole position and victory with the same driver in the last six circuits released in Formula 1: Lewis Hamilton (Sochi in 2014, Mugello in 2020, Portimao in 2020, Losail and Saudi Arabia in 2021) and Nico Rosberg in Baku 2016 In Miami 2022, Leclerc achieved pole position yesterday with his Ferrari and it seems difficult for Hamilton to win this Sunday.

Hass

Only the American team is on the grid

Haas is the only American outfit on the current ‘Great Circus’ grid. His numbers: two fastest laps in the 126 Grand Prix. In the USA they only scored 1 point in five races in the USA (Romain Grosjean 10th in 2016). In 2022, Kevin Magnussen (15 points) has added 12 points more than the entire team in the last two last years (3). But this Sunday its two drivers start behind: Mick Schumacher, from 15th place and Magnussen, 16th.

Ferrari, just a win to match …

all wins over the past 3 years

Thanks to Charles Leclerc’s victories in Australia and Bahrain in 2022, Ferrari has just one win to match the total number of wins from its past three seasons (three, all three in 2019). This Sunday, Ferrari came out dominating the front row: Leclerc and Sainz were first, second against Verstappen (3rd)

red bull

He achieved his first double since 2016

Red Bull came from achieving its first double in a Grand Prix (Max Verstappen 1st and Sergio Pérez 2nd) since Malaysia 2016. On that occasion they did it with Max Verstappen (2nd) and Daniel Ricciardo (1st). Red Bull will be looking for it again today with Verstappen and Pérez, but Ferrari is ahead with its two drivers. Those from Milton Keynes have achieved just two consecutive doubles in their entire F1 career (Great Britain – Germany 2009).

Another Grand Chelem?

And consecutively?

Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) won the Grand Chelem in Australia while Max Verstappen (Red Bull) won the Emilia Romagna. For the first time in Formula 1 history there have been two consecutive Grand Chelems by two different drivers.

isa

Sergio Perez

Top-2

Sergio Pérez (Red Bull), has achieved two consecutive Top-2 finishes (second in Australia and in Emilia Romagna) for the first time in Formula 1 and this is his best start to the season after four Grand Prix races (54 points) of his 12 years at the ‘Great Circus’. He continues to aspire to be a Mexican driver to achieve the most success in this sport: three, surpassing Pedro Rodríguez.

isa

Sainz is accumulating two abandonments

You want to break a series of defeats

Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) has retired in the last two Grands Prix after failing to do so in the past 24 races with Ferrari. He has not linked three consecutive retirements since his debut in 2015 (four between Austria and Belgium).

isa

Alonso, another circuit where to score

To add Miami to the list

Fernando Alonso (Alpine) has earned points in each of the 35 Grand Prix and circuits he has competed in throughout his racing career, except in Saudi Arabia where he has competed twice. The Spaniard will reach 2,000 points in Formula 1 in case he ends up in the top two in Miami, something that seems almost impossible, as he will start 11th with an Alpine that at the start of the campaign was severely weakening the tires. The Spanish will fight to score in the top 10.

hamilton record

The driver with the most wins in America

Lewis Hamilton is the driver in the entire history of Formula 1 who has won the most times on the American continent (18: seven in Canada, six in the United States, three in Brazil and two in Mexico). The Briton could surpass “Kaiser” (15, 1992 – 2006) this year as the driver with the most consecutive seasons with at least one victory in F1 (it will be 16 in a row since 2007), though for this , his Mercedes should continue to improve.

A complicated fact to improve for Norris

Lando will start on the 8th

Lando Norris is the only driver who, this season, has improved his position compared to the previous Grand Prix (15th in Bahrain, 7th in Saudi Arabia, 5th in Australia and 3rd in Emilia Romagna). It looks unlikely to continue his successive streak in Miami, where he will start in the eighth. Norris has never linked two consecutive podiums at the 64 Grands Prix.

Bottas starts on the 5th

Incredible data on Alfa Romeo

Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo), who has a chance to match Rubens Barrichello as the non -world champion driver with the most podium finishes (68), scored three more points (24) in four races with Alfa Romeo than achieved by Alfa Romeo in the last two complete seasons (21 including 2020 and 2021). This Sunday he will start 5th in an Alfa Romeo ahead of his former teammate Hamilton, who has a Mercedes.
