A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
McLaren's 1-2 finish at the sprint in Miami has increased their lead in the standings, as Red Bull's embarrasing pitstop blunder with Max Verstappen sees them fall into Ferrari's menacing clutches.
Verstappen who had been running in a rather discreet P3 until an unsafe release completely derailed his chances at scoring a good result in the 19-lap race, was handed a 10 second time penalty which saw him fall out of the points, thus Red Bull too came away from the sprint race empty handed as Yuki Tsunoda was also unable to score points.
McLaren's rule is dominant and uncontested, as they lead Mercedes, their closest pursuer, by 88 points. with Red Bull Racing 26 points behind Mercedes and only 5 points ahead of Ferrari.
UPDATE: Alex Albon (Safety Car infringement), Liam Lawson (causing a collision) and Oliver Bearman (unsafe release) were all penalised after the Sprint. See the updated standings below!
