It's race day in America. The Formula 1 World Championship returns to Miami. The drink is not working.
I don't know if that's planned or not. How is that's uh whether that you were talking about where is it? Okay, for now that cell is not is not there anymore.
So, it's uh it's disappeared. And here we go. Green flag at the back means it's time to look to the lights in Miami.
And the Miami Grand Prix is underway. A good reaction time for the top three. It's Max Stapen holding the lead, but he locks up.
And Lando Norris is going to have the chance to get on the power. The two rivals are side by side and Vstappen through a defensive shape. Yeah, he's forced to me.
Oh man. Well, what am I going to do? Just a wall or something?
Like I was completely alongside Anderson. We're reporting. Yeah, but it's common sense there.
I mean, I'm in the wall of over the fence or I have to back out cuz he's going to crush him. I know, mate. It's the only way he seems to drive.
And I can tell you that they've looked at it and they've gone no further action for the drama at the start of the Grand Prix. [Music] Alex, let's check for damage rear right. Yeah, we're looking at it.
Pressure is okay. Okay, we might have a puncture here. Jack, let's just uh be careful here.
Okay, Jack, puncture, puncture. Can you keep going? Yeah, I got completely hit, mate.
Okay, tires are okay for now. We'll keep checking everything. What do you want me to do?
Okay, Jack, we're going to need to retire the car here, please. Let's try and find a Marshall post and we'll pull off a track. [Music] It's a VSC VSC so you can't keep it positive.
I was in the middle of overtaking of goods after a great qualifying session. First time he'd outqualified Pierre Gazi. It comes to nothing.
The virtual safety car is ending. Drvers got to react to this. Okay, come on.
Okay, all set. [Music] [Applause] We continue the [Music] RS 2 seconds. Kimmy Antonelli, junior champion on multiple occasions, but under pressure right now for second place in the Grand Prix.
And the championship leader, Oscar Pastry, roars on by and takes second place. And Lando Norris is trying to do the same thing and does so. He's up to P5.
George now car behind at 7. Norris the car behind George. Barrett enabled.
Are we sure we don't have damage? It's okay on our side. The two Williams have swapped around the order that they started this Grand Prix.
And let's see whether they'll be allowed to race. They will. And Carlos signs is taking the position back that he lost at the start.
So just green 310. If you give me feedback on what you feel, I'm trying to help. I sure honestly not really that clear, please.
Strat 12 available if you need. This could be epic. And it is a wide moment for Russell.
Open the door for Lando Norris. So, let's just focus on the tires here for a bit now. Long way to go.
So, battery is full, Max. Use it if you need it. And the gap is 0.
7. My low speed balance is so bad. I have ability.
Copy, Ollie. We'll have some suggestions. [Music] So Norris at 0.
5. Another position recovered and Lando Norris is third in the race. He's still a contender in this one.
I'm going to get overtaken if you don't. Yeah, just right ple and entry for this is Fernando Alonzo and round he goes. Check what happened.
Yeah, copy. We're having a look. I mean it was at 13 kph loss at five back.
[Music] Okay for Stampin and Pastri going wheelto-heel again into the first turn of a racetrack. There's no grip around there at the moment for Pastry and 0. 5 down at Tomax making for it.
trying to go all the way around the outside. He won't be given room. The door closed in his face.
What a scrap for the lead. Oh, it's this route to drive. Understood.
We think you could manage plus one on the offset. Max Maxen positioning the car, but how many corners can he keep this up? [Music] The world champion versus the championship leader into the first turn.
It's late on the brakes for Max Stappen. He keeps the lead for the moment, but Pastri powers by and Oscar Pastri takes the lead. Okay, good job Oscar.
Good patience. Now we want plan A target plus five. breaks and obviously fuses.
They car behind Norris at push eight. He was sending it in super late to try and hold that inside line. He was sending it in from offline as well.
X8. Yeah, let's let's go forward, guys. We're compromising the race here.
Let's get into our rhythm. Wasn't hard because we're just losing time. Yeah, I'm working on it.
I could do with a bit of help from Alex. Think about Alex has got the call. Think about managing four 12.
All right, Alex, we acknowledging a water pressure issue with you. We need to maintain a gap of at least a second to the car ahead. Afraid short.
Oh, okay. That is Alburn going by and he's got P6 in the order at the moment. You told me he's with those.
Okay, let's be clever. Head look like one. Be clever.
Max Stappen in the Navy Red Bull knows that he is struggling with the brakes. He's struggling to keep the mighty McLaren behind. And is it going to be a one-two?
Will it be another late breaking move? Again, they're wheelto-he again. There's nothing between them.
He must not have all good. I know every move Oscar made Max just covered the inside line and pushed him wide and 0. 6 when you can max front flap offset for the next center.
Yeah, it's only everywhere. He's all over the shop. Max complaining about his brakes.
Trying to force him to up his braking. I can't hold him much as Max 0. 6.
Six. Lando Norris is the closest that he's ever been. And this time he's got the inside line.
Lando Norris dives to the inside at turn 11, but he made the move off the road. See right off the top trying to be off the track. So that position back and Max nearly into the back of Lando Norris.
Extraordinary couple of corners. That was hard to see. I think I was completely ahead, but I don't know if I went off the track or not.
He let him go. He let him go because I think he was over track limits. That was the right thing to do.
We're going to get it back as the battle continues down to turn one. He passes me harder to regal. The gap is 8 seconds to Oscar Pastri who has checked out.
He's in a different post code right now. This is surely the moment for Lando Norris to take the place and improve to second position. He does so.
He keeps the car on the road as he makes the pass. Strat seven, please. Strat seven.
Nine suggested nine. Stop talking to me while I'm in freaking battle, man. Jeez.
You're talking to me. We need to recast. You're doing a great job, man.
Pace is still good. We go side by side. Is there enough room through 12 and 11?
What an overtaking spectacle we've had and that door was always going to close. Another epic wheel-to-wheel fight. Certainly a great display of racecraft from the two of them.
And Hamilton finally gets by. The Ferrari gets past the house. Oh my god.
I lost uh I lost everything. I think you lost power steering. Oh my god.
Yeah. Copy, Ollie. Uh, pull over on the right hand side.
Turn seven. Right hand side. There should be a Is there anyone coming?
I can cross the track. You're clear. You're clear.
Oh, sorry, guys. That's a shame. Okay.
BSC deploy, Max. BSC deployed. Dash positive.
Dash positive. If Russell pits, he would jump us not. So, stay tight to your Delta.
So it will be box box. You only lose 11 seconds under the virtual safety car instead of 20. So virtual safety car is ending now.
Russell's in the pits. It's a really bad stop for Mercedes though. We go strap five or 13.
So you got the stappen alongside. So it'll be ahead of Max on exit. Overtake available.
Max stappen has been jumped by George Russell. And the timing of the virtual safety car absolutely crucial. Russell up to P3.
As close to the delta as possible and VC will come out ahead. No. Safety car ending.
Restart exit of 10 17. Go race now. Get ready for restart all the pace you can.
Five lb. Go race. Go race.
Green. Green. Green.
Green. Go [Music] [Applause] race. The green switch should help temp.
I don't need Here we go with Antonyelli and Alex Alburn. Williams having an incredible day out there. It might be about to get even better right now.
Alvin trying to get through. He allows Antonelli to go deep and he takes the position away. Nice job.
More energy as S gets past Sha Llair at turn number one as well. Williams having a dream couple of corners. So do you pace seven, do your pace.
Okay, Gabby, we want to stop the car. We want to stop the car. We cannot make it to the the building.
We want to stop the track in a safe place. All right, I'm switching off. Virtual safety car is out again.
Second power unit retirement in matter of laps. Really? Everyone ahead.
Yeah, guys. Just last medium. How long to go?
Jesus. Why are you so slow today? We are not slow.
Just watch your delta for the restart. We'll be just Kate one and 25 laps to go when you cross the line. DSC ending.
Go race. Go race. Green.
Green. Green. Green.
You have energy. You have [Music] [Applause] [Music] energy. The green flag will fly once again.
And Miami International Auto Drome and Carlos SCS who passed the Ferrari a couple of laps ago will be under big pressure. Will he be given room? He'll have to be given room.
And Hamilton will try and pick up the pieces if they get much closer. This is super tight between the Williams and the Ferrari, but the DRS belongs to Charllair. And the corner.
Oh, Hamilton's going to get both of them. No, just through on Carlos side. Hamilton not.
7 behind with the arrest. How far ahead of Char? I'm just throwing up my tires behind.
Understood. Antonell is 6 seconds on pass. You should just sit here south.
I come back to you until last time 30. 8 want to keep the DRS to chance and go ahead like this is behind 1. 5 you guys.
This is not good team. That's all I'm going to say. [Music] We swap the cars in turn 17 to and then to give Hamilton a chance on medium and if he doesn't pass we'll let him back.
Careful with Carlos behind [Music] in China when you're on a different understood. We swap the cars. Have a tea break while you're at it.
Come on. And Hamilton is going through Charlotte told to swap the positions. And we can now see what Hamilton can unleash on the mediums.
Oh, that's stupid. I didn't know Carlos was that close. And last time 31.
4 31. 1. Yeah.
Well, I've just used my tires. I need Louis to go faster. I've just got dirtier now.
31. 3. Hamilton and Pierre 3121.
Let me know where I'm losing time. Yeah, Antonella 317. Last lap can catch him.
Ferrari the management having an absolute headache here. Now in exactly the position that Hamilton was chasing, stuck in the DRS zone wanting the team orders. So if you gave it to Hamilton, you think maybe you give it back tolllair, but then you're just wasting overall race time.
It's not easy. Are we coming back on internally? We are, but quite slowly gap ahead.
2. 8. How much faster could you go in free air?
I have no idea. I have no 18. I have no idea.
So, they look up and they can see Anteneelli. They can see Alburn. That's fifth position, but it's a long old straight.
And they're certainly not going to get to Alburn the end of this race. And the way they're going, I don't think they're going to get to Anton early either. And we will swap the cars in turn 11 [Music] now.
So Lewis was not informed. He's been informed. Now we will swap the cars in turn 17.
We're going to swap the car in 17. Yes. So you don't think that's out or what?
Yes. We'll try again next lap. It's okay.
It's okay. Now we are seeing Antonelli. Let's try to get him and then otherwise we are going to lose more time than anything.
I Yep. Then we just go further. We've asked Lewis to swap in 11.
Charlotte Clair's go now. Up to P7 he goes. Lewis Hamilton was given the chance to fight and now it's the man from Monaco's turn.
You can go back in stock six and shine's 1. 4 behind passing off. Oscar Pastri wins the Miami Grand Prix.
Three Grand Prix victories in a row. It's a one two for the team. Well done, Oscar.
Great job. Right, let's pick up Robert and recharge on. Great job.
Great afternoon. Really smooth. Pace was uh pace was phenomenal.
Nicl. I've just realized that I need to uh I need to try and do a gritty when I pull up. I'm regretting making that bit now.
You had tuition though, Oscar, so rather you than me. Timing the virtual safety car crucial, but Russell converts and he beats Maxappen to the line. Very well managed.
Good job. Sorry, I've been a bit this weekend, but glad to make up today. Even another early exit last corner and we're racing all the way to the end.
the former Ferrari man and the man who replaced him banging wheels in the final corners. He moved a bit under the break in there. I don't know if that is legal.
He completely move left when I want to left. It's Oscar in 2025 taking home the largest trophy on Sunday and it's celebrations for McLaren once again.
