Oscar Piastri led McLaren's 1-2 finish at the Miami GP

Oscar Piastri did it again. The young Australian driver achieved another victory that solidifies his lead in the Formula 1 championship, and once again the McLaren team dominated the field, securing a resounding 1-2 finish with Lando Norris in second place. Far behind them was George Russell in the Mercedes, who managed to prevail over Max Verstappen, who had a progressively slow race, losing ground throughout the 57 laps of the final race.

Norris was the leading contender for the win, but at the start of the race, he had a tight maneuver with Max Verstappen that cost him several positions early on. This favored Oscar Piastri, who took advantage of the situation to position himself as runner-up and launch an attack that intensified as the laps progressed. The reigning world champion tried to make a difference, but it was clear that the McLaren was superior to the Red Bull, and it was only a matter of time.

Piastri managed to overtake Verstappen and thus cruise to victory without any major setbacks, even though the threat of rain never materialized. Upon entering the pits, the English team didn't want any surprises and sent both drivers out on the same lap, taking advantage of a virtual safety car to secure the top two positions. At the back, Verstappen began to lose ground, and at the time of the tire change, the Mercedes Benz team worked better , allowing Russell to overtake the Dutchman and take third place.

Perhaps the highlight of the race was the lead gained by Williams, with Alex Albón finishing fifth ahead of Antonelli. What was worrying was Ferrari's performance , which saw its two drivers fighting each other in the second half of the race and relying on team orders to try to advance. First, it was Leclerc and then Hamilton who could have gone after Antonelli, but none of that worked, and Hamilton then had to give the position back to Leclerc.

This situation made it clear that Ferrari will need to engage in a deep self-criticism and establish clear guidelines to understand that they must think about the team with clear strategies and internal rules where everyone knows their role. Today, the Italian team is not conclusive . It's a step behind McLaren and Verstappen's Red Bull and seems to be relying on improvements that may appear in upcoming races to then resolve its internal issues.

The Alpine team's current form is worrying . Jack Doohan had a very difficult Sunday. The start of the race found the Australian attempting an unnecessary maneuver on Lawson, resulting in contact at the first corner , forcing Doohan to retire from the race before even completing the first lap. The Australian is definitely at a critical moment regarding his continued status as a starter.

Pierre Gasly did what he could. It wasn't a small feat, but the Frenchman's potential was unmatched, and throughout the race he managed to stay close to the top ten in the standings. The lap times showed that Gasly had to work hard to maintain a pace that, as the laps passed, became clearer and more difficult to control as the race reached its final stretch.
