What were the highlights of the Miami GP race?
Hello everybody and welcome back. Back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. A big old sigh with the back this time. It's usually got some good passion behind it. This time, it's exasperation. We'll get into all of that very, very shortly. But what a race it was. If you're not a Charlotte Glare fan, what an incredible Miami Grand Prix. Easily the best Sunday we've seen around Miami this year. And maybe even safe to say that it's the closest Formula One has been to being Formula One or feeling like Formula One and all that good stuff. But overall, you know, if I'm able to compartmentalize how I'm feeling and not think about a certain driver and their last lap, it was it was very entertaining.
Yes, my driver also had pain, but it was an absolutely incredible race. Worth the wait. We've had a long time to wait for a Grand Prix, and boy, did it deliver. Even without rain and things, the first lap was absolute carnage. The final lap was carnage as well. And just throughout the whole race, really, didn't know who was going to win. Battles for all the top positions. You can't really ask for much more than that from a Grand Prix. Well done, Miami. It was absolutely awesome.
Still waiting to see if the rain is in the room with us. I'll be honest with you. A few drops was all we got, but perhaps this race didn't even need it. Now, before we dive into all of that and much more, so much to get into. A quick shout out to our wonderful patrons who'll be getting extra chat at the end of every single F1 race review this year. And a pretty good race for us to start with right here, as there is a lot to talk about. I will also say that if our voices feel a little bit softer, it's because we've had an entire Grand Prix and it is still 5.37 in the morning where I am. Just to be wary of that. But I'm sure once we get into certain topics, which actually it's my most memorable moment coming up, so it might be getting loud quite quickly.
So my most memorable moment, why don't we start there? The thing that you're all probably tuning in for, Leclerc losing P3 at the end, P3 right at the end. These race reviews are raw. They're very quick after the race. I feel like a driver, right? The driver, they have a microphone put in front of their face immediately after the Grand Prix. This is the same thing. Tell us what you think. Because this was the final lap of the race. Look, at the start of the race, Charles Leclerc led from P3 on the grid. Gorgeous stuff. A lot of chaos going on, but he was out in front. I am a decorated Charles Leclerc fan at this point, right? I've got a lot of experience under my belt. I know how these things usually go when Charles Leclerc is leading.
And that is exactly what happened once again, is that the pace wasn't there and he wasn't able to hold on. And then at the end, which is this more specific memorable moment, of course, he was fighting Oscar Piastri. I, of course, with the benefit of hindsight, wish that he'd just fought him normally, but he did not. He decided, and I actually saw it during the watch long, I was like, I'm pretty sure he has shut his rear wing halfway down the back straight leading on to the last lap. He's trying to play some...
How did Charles Leclerc's strategy impact his race results?
some overtake chicken. He's trying to get that overtake mode for the final lap because he believes that's the best chance for him to be able to get Oscar back on the final lap is to be able to have that extra bit of boost in his car, which I think is a fair analysis to have made. Oscar nearly got through on the penultimate lap, didn't. And so Charles thought, look, he's probably going to get me this lap. However, terrible exit out of the final corner. Well, I guess it's the second to last corner because a little kink isn't there before you go over the line. The last hairpin, terrible exit out of there. Not a great exit out of turn one either. And then it all happens. And then the incident. And then the incident happens.
And losing P3 was only the beginning.
It is mad to think that you were kind of a bit down about the fact that Charles Leclerc had led the race.
