Mercedes’ dual management is a joy – But don’t get too excited

The F1 season continues behind the scenes this weekend, when Americans who have discovered the joys of the series are served formula drugs in Miami.

Based on the opening exercises, the most hasty may draw too direct conclusions from the list of results. George Russell and Lewis Hamilton pushed themselves to the top of the results list right at the end of the session on soft tires.

Mersut at the top of the results list was standard a couple of years ago, but nowadays it is a rarity.

However, based on the opening exercises, it’s not a good idea to give all your assets for the Silver Arrows. Red Bull’s power duo dominated the early season Max Verstappen–Sergio Perez didn’t tear everything out of his equipment and tires yet. Perez’s 11th place finish in the opening practice does not reflect the Mexican’s true performance.

However, there is one thing that could prevent the Red Bulls from winning another double: the rain.

Heavy rains have hit Miami for Sunday. A street track and slippery asphalt can provide quite a mood for a Sunday evening. So if we can drive at all.

Hope for rain for sure too Valtteri Bottas. It’s still hard for Alfa Romeo to keep up with the pace of other middle class teams. Bottas, who drove nicely for points in the opening of the season, will be able to pull quite a rabbit out of his hat if he plans to increase his points tally this coming Sunday.
