Did we all recover from this race yet? Who would have thought Miami would bring such an amazing race!
For the third time in the last 2! years, we have a non-Red Bull race winner!

So let's focus on the race-winning team of this week 🏁
McLaren came into the Miami GP race weekend with new upgrades to the car, and both drivers have been reporting all weekend that the car feels great. This immediately became clear in the race, with Oscar going from P6 to P3 in turn 1. Lando's first stint was held up by being stuck behind Perez, but at the end of this stint, he had the fastest pace on the grid.
The second stint was more in favour of Norris. He could continue on his medium tires while everyone ahead pitted and then got a free pitstop under the Safety Car. He got out of the pits before Verstappen on fresh hard tires and managed to ace the restart to stay ahead for the last stint of the race.
During this last stint, Oscar became an unfortunate victim of a racing incident with Sainz and was send to the back of the grid following damage to his front wing. He managed to climb back to 13th, just outside the points. Lando's final stint was flawless. He was able to keep Verstappen behind him at the restart and with fresh tires and clean air pulled away to his first win 🎉
A fantastic weekend for the McLaren team and fans and not an easy one to forget 🧡
So yeah, Lando Now Wins 😉🔥

Results of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix 💙🧡❤️

And what a weekend it was for Max Verstappen!
He clinched his 8th consecutive pole and ties with Ayrton Senna on the record of most consecutive poles in F1 history! Coincidentally at the same weekend the entire paddock is remembering Senna and Ratzenberger.
On Sunday, Max broke another, new record by winning 2 races on one day 🎉
In the morning, his sim racing team Redline won the Nürburgring 24 hours with car #20. Max did his stints for this race from the Red Bull Racing motorhome, taking brakes for his F1 qualifying and the race 😁
Later on Sunday, Max then also won the Imola GP!

He did have to work for this win, since both Mclaren and Ferrari were close on his heels. Lando finished second, only 0,7 seconds behind Max. In third was Charles Leclerc, followed by the secone Mclaren of Piastri and Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz.
Leclerc became the first Ferrari driver on the podium at the Autodrome Enzo e Dino Ferrari since Michael Schumacher in 2006 at the San Marino GP.
