Mercedes made the ideal start to their Miami race weekend, though the same was not true for Nico Hulkenberg and Haas. Mercedes MiamiGP formula1 f1
It was looking like Max Verstappen had FP1 in the bag for much of the session, one delayed by a crash for Nico Hulkenberg who found the wall at Turn 3, though a late twist in the tale was to come.
There was no shortage of interest though with a busy track from the start, Kevin Magnussen kicking-off proceedings by laying down a 1:36.8 on the medium rubber. Perez came into this weekend on quite the high, that certainly not true though for AlphaTauri’s Nyck de Vries. It seemed like a spin at Turn 12/13 was already a tricky start for the Dutchman, but then it was confirmed that he had been noted by the stewards for potential dangerous driving, seemingly related to his re-joining of the track. Oh Nyck.
Leclerc, Baku’s polesitter two times over, took a shot at that new benchmark, though even with the benefit of medium rubber he still had seven-tenths to find. The switch to hards would actually bring about a time boost, though much more than that one-tenth would be needed.With 20 minutes gone in the session Russell’s car remained in the garage, Mercedes busy swapping out what was a heavier, test specification for the standard steering rack.
We were even treated to a nice dose of nostalgia too on that opening lap out of the pits, as Hamilton decided to throw a few overtaking-style lines on Verstappen, thankfully no contact! Meanwhile, as Albon was having further troubles in the Williams, this time failing to save the impending spin, Leclerc was piecing together a much stronger run, going purple in the first sector.
