Miami Grand Prix 2022
Thank you all for following this live, see you tomorrow for the Miami Grand Prix, the start of which is scheduled for 21:30 p.m. French time.
It will also be followed in live text on AutoHebdo.fr. See you tomorrow !
Very good last lap from Pierre Gasly also, seventh on the starting grid, behind Hamilton but ahead of Norris and Tsunoda!
Red Bull's strategy is completely messed up! The Ferraris are on the front row, Leclerc snatches pole ahead of Sainz. And Bottas on the third row, just behind Verstappen who couldn't even set a time, and Pérez. Disillusionment for the Dutchman.
Last loop in this qualifying session. Pérez could offer the aspiration to Verstappen, be careful, mistakes can happen quickly.
Only 0.080s cover Verstappen, Leclerc and Sainz! 🤯

Verstappen, Leclerc and Sainz in a pocket handkerchief! The three drivers are only 80 thousandths apart. The reigning world champion is currently ahead of the Ferraris, Pérez is fourth, but he missed out (+0'507).
Pierre Gasly seems to have made a mistake, he is tenth at the moment.
The drivers will start normally for two timed laps. At the end, we will know the famous starting grid of the first Miami Grand Prix in F1 history!
Here we go for Q3. The Ferraris are already taking to the track, the Red Bulls are following closely. So let the duel begin!

Pierre Gasly makes his way to Q3, as does Yuki Tsunoda. Very good performance from the AlphaTauri! Miami vibe…
The last hectometers of this Q2! Despite the improvement, it is not enough for Alonso, on the outskirts of the top 10. Same story for George Russell, only twelfth. Vettel, Ricciardo and Schumacher are also eliminated.
The dark side of Mercedes is revealed at the start of the season. This explains that…

Russell is on the verge of elimination, just like Ricciardo, Vettel, Schumacher and Stroll. There are less than four minutes left in this Q2.
With less than six minutes left in Q2, all drivers set a timed time, except George Russell. The Briton finally sets off for a lap, but quickly aborts. His car seems very difficult to drive at the start of the lap, he seems to complain about the rebound. Still and always.
Already a big time for Verstappen, who is more than five tenths behind Pérez and the Ferraris. The Dutchman, who had a mixed first day of riding, sends a message to his opponents.
Russell, for his part, is already returning to the pits. A problem with the Mercedes perhaps?
Here we go for Q2. Mick Schumacher is the first driver to start. Great performance from the German, who will in any case be ahead of his teammate, Magnussen, for the first time this season in qualifying!
Esteban Ocon appeared in the mixed zone, at the microphone of Canal +. The Frenchman reassured about his state of health, despite the big shock he suffered (51G according to him) while criticizing the absence of Tecpro just before the chicane where he escaped. The chassis of his car should be changed for tomorrow's race.
❌ OUT IN Q1 ❌
16. Magnussen
17. Zhou Guanyu
18. Albon
19. Latifs

Q1 ends with this great time from Fernando Alonso, 6th!
The drivers eliminated from Q1, from nineteenth to sixteenth place: Latifi, Albon, Zhou and Magnussen.
And Hamilton gets away with it! The Briton moved up to fifth, a tenth ahead of his teammate. Fernando Alonso is now in danger, as the drivers finish their lap in this Q1.
