After the strange qualifying session on Saturday in Miami in which max verstappen was ninth, Fernando Alonso predicted to the media that the pilot of Red Bull I would catch up with him on lap 25. Those words reverberated in the mind of the Dutchman, who despite not completing a great start, quickly began to climb positions and hunted down the man from Oviedo on lap 14. ‘Mad Max’ and Red Bull were unstoppable in Marina Bay… and after the race Verstappen did not hesitate to throw a ‘dart’ at Alonso. “You said lap 25”reminded him of ‘1’, to which ’14’ replied with a smile. Given the silence in the room, Pérez intervened: “What lap did you catch him on?”. “I think around lap 13 or 14”the current champion ...
All the forecasts that suggested a close fight for the victory between Checo Pérez and Max Verstappen in Miami, went to waste after the spectacular race carried out by the world champion on the circuit built around the Hard Rock Stadium. The Dutchman started from ninth position after failing in Q3 of Saturday’s qualifying (he made a mistake on his first attempt and then was handicapped by the red flag caused by the mistake of Charles Leclerc), but quickly fell behind “Czech “, who started perfectly from pole position and did not leave any room for surprise from Fernando Alonso, who started from his side. Unlike the entire field, which opted for a medium/hard tire strategy, Verstappen used hard tyres, avoided any setbacks at the start, a...
Just Alonso. Yes, this is how you can start all this. Because like Fernando there are few. Almost nobody. because like him they hardly remain in the motor world. With that precision. With that speed. With that wisdom. And with that intelligence. With that knowledge of everything that happens around you and even beyond. In Baku he demonstrated it, with a radio about Lewis Hamilton’s tires… but the Miami thing it was another level. Because his message to Aston Martin was the best that could be heard in the race. Because he, competing and focused so as not to make a mistake that would cost him another more than deserved podium, He had time for what others don’t even notice. He had it for his partner. For Lance Stroll. For a driver who didn’t have his best weekend in Fl...
the new zealand Nick Cassidy (Envision Racing) went on to lead the world of formula e after an impressive victory in the Monaco ePrix, the ninth round of the 2023 season in the electric category.

Poor George Russell. Poor, because he thought something that was not. Which clearly couldn’t be. The English of Mercedes, the best of his team in Miami both in qualifying and in the race, he finished fourth in Florida but for a moment he dreamed of something more. With something that his team told him no. What was it going to be? ‘Cause the young Brit, mate by Lewis Hamilton, He suffered from a lack of vision from his helmet when he observed the evolution of Fernando Alonso. Because he thought that in front of the Asturian, the ‘fight’ he was watching was for second place. But not. It was not. And in Mercedes they confirmed it, leaving their illusions of being third in nothing… and to know if something else. “Who is the one in front of Alonso? Are we so ...
He Miami Grand Prix had a Spanish-speaking accent with a good classification, but max verstappen took the victory at the Miami circuit, followed by Sergio Perez and Fernando Alonso. The current world champion made life difficult in qualifying and started ninth, but he solved everything with astonishing ease. He was the fastest in Miami by far and took his third victory of the season in a double of Red Bull. In the World Cup he continues to lead, although now he widens the difference to 14 points away with your teammate. Sergio Pérez had to settle for second place. The Mexican promised them happy with pole position and the difference with Verstappen, but in the race he suffered a lot. He did not have the rhythm of the Dutchman and tried to defend himself on the track, although it was not en...
Fernando Alonso went back to get on a podium in the World Cup. There are four. In five races. This time it was in Miami, where the Asturian completed a great test to once again be third and thus accompany the unbeatable Red Bull of Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. And he did it, as they say, with one hand on the wheel. and the other ‘saluting’. Yes, it is a metaphor… but the fact that he started to see the track monitors was not. That’s something that Alonso himself confirmed in the cameras of ‘DAZN’ after another bronze. “It was a bit of a lonely race. No one ahead, no one behind…so I started to watch TV” confirmed the two-time world champion. so he could see the Lance Stroll maneuver in turn 1 of the Miami GP, something that even made...

How well the Aston Martin goes. how well he did Fernando Alonso in risking last summer. What success. What a wonderful car. What a great job they have done at Silverstone. Yes, many compliments, but all of them are too short to define the miracle of the British team. One of the few that has been, and will be, in F1. Because going from being penultimate to being the second best team in one year is something rarely seen in this sport. And Miami confirmed it. He confirmed what has already been a regular. Something we had stopped getting used to. because yes, because Alonso is already one more on the podiums. It’s the Red Bull and him. This is how it has always been, except in Baku. And Baku was an exception. Bahrain, Jeddah, Albert Park and Miami are the reality. They are what Fernando ...
JAVIER SNCHEZ Updated Sunday, May 7, 2023 – 23:09 He finished third in Miami behind Verstappen and Pérez after another flawless race. Sainz, who exceeded the speed in the pits and was penalized, finishes fifth Alonso, in the circuit of MiamiCHRIS GRAYTHENGetty Images via AFP Reportage How Formula 1 was resurrected in the United States? “Netflix changed things” There are days for preciousness, the steering wheel turned into a piano, driving made art, and there are days for accuracy. No one has contested more Formula 1 races than Fernando Alonso and hence its reliability: it never fails, it always does what it should. If his car can win the World Cup, he wins it, he already did it twice. If you can only choose to be tenth, you finish tenth, as in previous years. And if his ...
Elon Musk He was one of the many personalities that has been seen in the paddock of the Miami GP. The founder of Tesla, and current owner of Twitter, was mostly in the box Red Bull, debating with a Christian Horner with whom he must have had a great chat. One that he later shared on his social network: “Funny discussion sucks aerodynamics and battery technology of F1″. And then he launched a challenge that raised some controversy in networks: “I have proposed a career between an electric car and a Formula 1 car”. It would undoubtedly be a good time to face both engine and propulsion technologies, although who knows if he himself encouraged to create something different to fight the ‘Great Circus’. He was not the only one who has been seen in Miami, and i...
