As the next race is in Miami, here are some interesting stats about the Miami GP 📊 • Max Verstappen holds the race lap record (1:29.708 – 2023). • Polesitter has NEVER won here (0/4) 🤯 • ~67% Safety Car probability 🚨 chaos almost guaranteed. • Lando Norris took his maiden F1 win at this track.

‘Off the leash’ always sounds great… right up until the points start hurting. 😅 If Kimi Antonelli keeps leading, Mercedes won’t have the luxury of freedom for long and they’ll have to pick a side. Do they back the rookie fairytale, or trust George Russell to deliver when it really counts? 🍿

🚨 Toto Wolff on Mercedes' 2026 title fight: Russell and Antonelli are "off the leash" for now. 👉 But team orders COULD come later if the championship demands it. Rookie Kimi Antonelli currently leads the standings, sparking Mercedes' first major internal battle since Hamilton vs. Rosberg.

Ferrari doing some solid work in the pit lane as they set the season’s fastest pit stop in the Japanese GP.

@F1 @PierreGASLY Solid start by Pierre👌

A fine start to the season for Pierre Gasly 👌 #F1 @PierreGASLY

There were 1325 racing laps in 2023. Max Verstappen led 1003 of them alone (75.7%) 🤯

@F1 Cadillac slashed their average gap to Mercedes in Japan to 2.75s (from 3.9s in Australia)—a massive 1.15s improvement! 💪 Still plenty of work ahead, but those Miami upgrades should help close it further. Do you think they’ll deliver? And will they score points this season? 🏎️🔥

Only three races into life as a Formula 1 team... and Checo is seeing the improvements for Cadillac 👊 #F1 #JapaneseGP

@formularacers_ @Racingnews365 Some teams have some work to do to meet minimum weight. Williams could save up to 1s if they do so.

🚨 First milestone for Aston Martin this season — Japan marks the first Grand Prix where they actually saw the chequered flag 🟢 But the reality check? They were still around 3 seconds off Mercedes on race pace… a mountain to climb. Progress or just a small step? 🤔 #F1 #JapaneseGP #AstonMartin #Mercedes #F1Twitter #F1News #Motorsport

🚨 CHARLES LECLERC identifies Ferrari's KEY WEAKNESS for the 2026 season. 👉 "Our main issue is the POWER UNIT," he reveals, creating a performance GAP to Mercedes. Podiums are possible, but WINS require urgent improvements. A MASSIVE development race is underway as teams adapt to new regulations.

🚨 According to Motorsport Italy, Ferrari, Honda, and Audi are likely to be cleared for ADUO engine upgrades to help close the performance gap to Mercedes. Meanwhile, there’s uncertainty over whether RBPT will receive the same allowance, as Red Bull’s engine output has proven to be more competitive than initially anticipated. #F1 #Formula1 #F1Twitter #F1News #Ferrari #Mercedes #RedBull #AudiF1 #HondaF1 #Motorsport #F1Updates #GrandPrix #Racing #F1Rumours

Formula 1 has outlined these proposals ahead of next week’s meeting, aiming to address the problems observed during the opening three races, following growing frustration voiced by both fans and drivers over the current state of racing: •Allow full freedom in using active aerodynamics. •Streamline regulations to give drivers greater control. •Boost the power of super clipping (from 250kW to 350kW). •Cut the maximum energy recharge per lap to 6MJ. •Increase the ICE/MGU-K ratio (from 2027 onward). •Lower overall energy consumption of the cars.
