JUSTIN STORMS FROM P10 TO WIN AT MIAMI!

Justin took a stunning victory at the Miami Grand Prix, leading home Rian and Jordan on the podium after a chaotic, safety-car-free race that was largely defined by Turn 3 mayhem and wildly split strategies. Starting only tenth, the KICK Sauber driver carved his way through the field with calm execution and pace, while Rian’s Haas and Jordan’s other KICK Sauber completed a podium that reshuffled the early title picture yet again.


The race exploded at Turn 3 on lap one. Two separate three-wide moments — first between Mejg, SV5 and NaeDangerDavid, then immediately after involving Gordini, SV5 and Scaparro — ended with Gordini spinning and a chain reaction behind. Several cars picked up damage, but remarkably there was no safety car, something that would haunt a few drivers later on. Rollie was one of the biggest victims, losing his front wing in the chaos and being forced to pit on lap one, committing him to a long and compromised race from there.

Justin was one of the few who threaded the needle through the Turn 3 madness without damage. From there, his race unfolded quietly but ruthlessly. While others were managing repairs, long stints, or recovering from early losses, he consistently made the right calls, using a clean two-stop strategy and strong race pace to climb all the way to the front. By the final phase of the race around the Miami streets, he was untouchable.

Rian converted pole into a solid second place in the Haas, unable to respond to Justin’s late-race pace but comfortably ahead of the rest. Jordan backed up his strong Monza weekend from the previous round with third, keeping himself firmly in the championship conversation after a messy start to the season.

SV5 came home fourth in the Racing Bulls machine after being central to the early chaos, salvaging a strong result despite visible damage early on. Bards continued his quietly consistent start to the year with fifth for Williams, while Tvoje_mamkacz brought the Mercedes home sixth after staying out of trouble when many around him didn’t.

SCR_FTronc followed in seventh with a clean Red Bull run, ahead of rothNz, who gained heavily from the back of the grid in the Ferrari with a one-stop strategy that paid off okay. Mejg’s race never fully recovered after the Turn 3 contact; the Haas driver finished ninth with fuel issues in the end, limiting the damage after another scrappy weekend. Gordini rounded out the top ten for Alpine despite his early spin and heavy bodywork damage, showing decent recovery pace.

Selecta finished eleventh for Racing Bulls, while Rollie dragged his wounded Williams to twelfth after that lap-one pit stop forced him into long stints with no neutralisations to help. Javinwain brought the Aston Martin home thirteenth, ahead of Yeshurrun in the Red Bull.

Crunchypancake had a tough afternoon in the Ferrari with an unusually high number of pit visits, finishing fifteenth. Sir Ibbo followed in the McLaren, ahead of Dunce, whose Aston Martin race unraveled after multiple stops.

Scaparro, Elche, and NaeDangerDavid were all classified as retirees following damage from the Turn 3 incident. For Scaparro, it was particularly frustrating after a strong qualifying, choosing to retire rather than circulate with heavy damage and a drive-through penalty looming. For Elche, it was about a wheel issue which then was followed by a decision to quit his seat permanently.

Ironghost’s return to commentary added some much-needed levity to this tense Miami race.

Justin interview: 
“I feel that was a good race, I feel the pace after doing some laps before the Qualy, and yeah I was bottled my possible Top 3 grid place but my race pace was much better, better than I expect because it's a little bit difficult this car because I increased the rear wing downforce a little bit so… From the P10 to P1 it's a very good sensation.
And my chance for the title, idk honestly, I mean, I win but I DNF the last two races but If I still manage to get these results probably I can get a chance for fighting for the championship.”

Next up is Azerbaijan, Selecta’s pick, where walls, precision, and bravery will once again test who’s really in this title fight.

ENDRU SNATCHES DRAMATIC LAST-LAP WIN IN WET-DRY BELGIUM THRILLER

Image
Endru delivered a stunning victory at Spa for Williams, securing his first win of the season after a chaotic 44-lap race that transitioned from dry to wet in the final stages. He narrowly beat Ferrari’s NaeDangerDavid and Aston Martin’s AA_Mejg, who stormed from the very back of the grid after serving what can be called a “mental quali ban” to finish third... The Belgian Grand Prix began under dry skies, with NaeDangerDavid starting from pole and immediately defending hard. Endru, starting from P12, surged through the field, reaching second by lap five and managing his tires and fuel expertly. His early pace gave him a large advantage, but a mid-race safety car erased his 15-second lead. At the restart, Endru rebuilt a gap quickly but received a drive-through penalty that dropped him back. Determined to recover, he fought his way forward and reeled in David again—just as rain began to fall. The late rain turned the race into a high-risk strategy battle. David opted to pit for intermedi...

SV5 MASTERS THE CARNAGE AT JEDDAH SEASON OPENER

Image
The Saudi Arabian GP kicked off the new season in brutal fashion, with SV5 taking a commanding win under the lights of Jeddah ahead of Bards and his teammate Selecta. The podium set the tone for a chaotic opener that was a likely scenario for Jeddah, more so when cockpit cam is forced... From pole, SV5 looked razor-sharp in his new Racing Bulls machinery, especially with the usual title heavyweights Jordan and Mejg absent, leaving the spotlight wide open. When the lights went out, that spotlight turned into a floodlight of chaos almost instantly. A massive first-lap incident at Turn 3 saw Justin clatter into NaeDangerDavid, with Elche also collected, triggering the first safety car and causing widespread damage down the field. Gordini was among those carrying wounds for the rest of the race, nursing underbody damage but somehow surviving it, having to pit on hards to change wing, which turned out to be a good choice with the second safety car. Up front, SV5, Bards in the Williams, and ...
