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.
The start of the race in Miami did not go smooth, with Max Verstappen and Lando Norris nearly coming together at Turn 2.
At the start Max Verstappen went deep into Turn 1, locking up in the process, which brought Norris into play. The Dutchman then made his car as wide as possible on the outside of Turn 2, which piushed the Briton off the track and caused him to drop all the way down to P6.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli moved up to P2 and tried to put the pressure on the Dutchman only to be denied on the entry into Turn 4 he forced me off. What am I to do?
Behind them, Jack Doohan went for an optimistic move up the inside of Liam Lawson, which resulted in a puncture for the young Australian and the New Zealander being spun around.
UPDATE | Stewards rule on Verstappen - Norris clash

On lap 7 Norris went on the radio to enquire if Verstappen had suffered damage of if he'd been given a penalty for the move into Turn 1. However, as the Briton asked that information from the McLaren pitwall, the Stewards had announced 'no further investigation' would be required.
