More than once

The 8 entries were whittled down to 4 post-quali.

The race start was ... well, interesting...rolling vs grid box standing start. The software algo's were weighted towards collision detection/avoidance. So fits of confusion and resets.

Scheduled race length was 8 laps, shortened to 7laps. (Good RD decision! ) There were no collisions. That was encouraging.

The leader spins - a pass for the lead.

After a Red Flag and more resets, a restart, a pass for the lead on the last lap (which was a bit daring).

And the German team wins. Big drone exhibition and super fireworks show followed.

The Ferrari Cavalcade just had their first event in Nashville this morning. They are in the area a few days before heading to Miami for GP weekend.

Quite the showing headed that way for whoever is there.

The MIA GP missive dropped onto formula1.com

And AM filed a "Right of Review" re: the ALO penalty in China. Mostly to kill the penalty points ALO got then.

Don't really see any new element, but 08:00 in Stewards Office @MIA to plead their case.

Without Max and Newey? I wouldn't bet on that team from 2026.

However, they will still win in 2025, because then Max will be in Newey's car. That's why I don't think it's an option for Max to change in 2025, one year before the new rules/cars. IMO it would be pointless, since then he can not know who will be good from 2026. Therefore, in my opinion, I would bet that they will land with the same team in 2026, with the only difference being that Newey will be there a year earlier.
