THE PROMOTED
LANDO NORRIS (McLaren): after 11th Grands Prix and 15 podiums, the first victory of his career finally arrives. Don’t be fooled by the Safety Car issue. That stroke of luck certainly didn’t change what we saw on the track. The English driver’s McLaren was the fastest on the track and dominated after the restart, always being faster than Verstappen. Chapeaux Lando!
CHARLES LECLERC (Ferrari): a weekend in which he did his best. After completing just one lap in the only free practice session on Friday, he lives between qualifying and races. Always giving your best. Creating the feeling by pushing to the maximum. Yesterday too he achieved a third place which was anything but obvious. The Monegasque is returning to his level.
LEWIS HAMILTON (Mercedes): he finishes sixth less than 2 seconds behind Sergio Perez. Despite many difficulties, the Black King continues to demonstrate that he does not have the slightest desire to give up. He tries in every way to pass the Mexican despite a slower car. He has fun and does his best. Separated at home. He’s not for everyone.
F1, Norris breaks the bank in Miami and takes his first victory! Verstappen beaten, Leclerc on the podium

YUKI TSUNODA (Racing Bulls): what a race! The Japanese achieved an excellent seventh place and confirmed his excellent start to the season. After applauding his teammate Daniel Ricciardo in the Sprint Race, in the long race he showed everyone that he is really fit and a great driver.
THE FAILURES
SERGIO PEREZ (Red Bull): a year ago his vertical collapse began right after the Miami match. This year he greets Florida with dull performances and few smiles. Yesterday, then, he risked an epochal omelette at the start, grazing his teammate and, overall, a series of rear-end collisions with a truly notable braking error. He never recovers and acts as an extra.
KEVIN MAGNUSSEN (Haas): embarrassing. Between Sprint Race and race he collects more penalties than good laps. A driver who goes too many times over the top. Excessive and aggressive beyond the limit. He also sends Logan Sargeant into the wall.
VALTTERI BOTTAS (Kick Sauber): By now we’ve forgotten that he races in Formula One. Never a flicker, never a level performance. Yesterday he also takes his pay from Guanyu Zhou…
