      Miami GP added into F1 calendar for next year with circuit around Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium

      by

      FORMULA ONE chiefs have struck a deal to host the Miami Grand Prix from next season.The 10-year contract is a huge shot in the arm for the sport after a difficult 13 months due to the Covid pandemic.
      The Miami GP will be on the 2022 race calendar
      There are a total of 19 corners on the Miami GP circuit
      F1 already has a race in the US in Austin Texas, but it has always been the sport’s target to have more than one race in the States.
      The track will be 5.41km long, have 19 corners, 3 straights and will race around the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins.
      Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula One, said: “We are looking forward to bringing the greatest racing spectacle on the planet to Miami for the first time in our sport’s history.
      “We always said that the US is a very important area which we need to develop our business. There is a lot of opportunity to catch and having two races in the US means that we have taken the right direction for the future.
      “We will try to keep the two races separate to keep the right space and this is crucial.
      “We are all proud as F1 because at this moment, 2020 was so difficult, we are now looking ahead and we have put down the foundations for an incredible future for F1.
      “This is an important milestone and once we showed the teams, everyone was like ‘wow, that is where we should be’ and this is the direction we are going in for F1.”
      Red Bull’s Max Verstappen added: “It’s always interesting to go to a new place where we’ve never driven before and Miami is a great city.”

      And Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto said: “We are delighted that F1 has added a new Grand Prix in the USA, a country where there is great untapped potential interest for this sport and which represents a very important market for our road cars.
      “This event in Miami will certainly be fascinating, taking place in one of the most iconic cities in the USA.
      “This news is yet another sign of the growth and vitality of F1 and the increasing interest it is generating around the world.”
      The 2021 F1 race calendar consists of 23 races and runs until the season finale in Abu Dhabi on December 12.
      This year’s world championship got underway at the end of last month in breathtaking fashion.
      Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton became embroiled in a sensational battle for the race victory, with the seven-time champion eventually coming out on top for Mercedes.
      And the Brit strengthened his case as the favourite for this year’s title by taking pole position at the Emilia Romagna GP on Saturday.
      Red Bull’s Sergio Perez occupies second on the grid ahead of Verstappen, with Charles LeClerc’s Ferrari completing the front two rows.
      Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas could only manage eighth fastest heading into Sunday’s race.

      F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix qualifying RESULT LIVE: Hamilton on pole with Sergio Perez second and Max Verstappen third

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON is on pole as he looks to make it two wins out of two at Imola.Joining him on the front row is Red Bull newcomer Sergio Perez, who caused a stir by finishing ahead of third placed team-mate Max Verstappen.
      Follow ALL the action from Italy with our live blog below…
      NUMERO UNO
      SunSport’s Ben Hunt says: “Lewis Hamilton had the competition licked as he scooped pole 99.
      “It seems silly to say given his impressive tally of P1 starts, but this really was a shock as he qualified ahead of the Red Bulls of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola.
      “The astonishment in the voice of his race engineer, Pete Bonnington, as the result was confirmed was enough to tell you this was a surprise to the team, despite their seven-year domination.
      “And while no points are on offer for Saturday qualifying, Hamilton was ice-cool while Max Verstappen again melted away after another error.”

      MERC MY WORDS
      It was some lap from Lewis Hamilton that secured pole position.
      Take a look at it below.

      QUALIFYING STANDINGS
      Sergio Perez has qualified on the front row for the first time in his F1 career.

      LEW BEAUTY
      Lewis Hamilton has spoken of his delight at securing pole for Sunday’s Grand Prix.
      He said: “The day has been great. I definitely didn’t expect us to be ahead of two Red Bulls. They have been so quick this weekend. There were times when they were six tenths ahead, we didn’t really know where we would be.
      “But the car has been feeling better from the beginning this weekend so respect to the team for the hard work to really narrow down the window.
      “I love the challenge. I think it’s great finally we’ve got the two Red Bulls there. It’s definitely going to make strategy harder and it’ll be a real challenge because they have got great race pace.
      “Their pace was a little bit stronger in the long run yesterday but I’m just so happy. 
      “The first lap was really nice, really clean. There were some improvements on the second lap but it wasn’t quite as good as the first one, but I’m really grateful. I came around the last corner and heard that I got the pole and I was very grateful.”
      HAMILTON TAKES POLE – HIS 99th OF HIS CAREER
      Perez in P2, Verstappen in P3. That was fantastic stuff. Leclerc in P4.
      Norris unlucky in P7.
      LANDO NORRIS LOSES P2
      The McLaren man gets his time deleted. Tough luck for the Brit.
      TRACK LIMITS COULD BE AN ISSUE
      Hamilton could be in trouble,
      HERE WE GO – FINAL RUNS IN Q3
      All 10 cars on track. Verstappen last to cross the line. This could be close.
      HAMILTON TAKES PROVISIONAL POLE
      Verstappen P2. Bottas in P3 after their first runs.
      GREEN LIGHT – Q3 IS GO
      Hamilton v Verstappen v Bottas for pole. Hamilton going for his 99th pole.
      ELIMINATED FROM Q2
      Alonso, Latifi, Vettel, Russell and Sainz. That is a shock to see Alonso and Vettel done by their teammates. Sainz too will not be happy.
      GREEN LIGHT – Q2 IS GO
      And Hamilton leads Verstappen while Bottas in in third. All three should get in to Q3.
      It is all about who get’s knocked out. Williams Alpine and Aston Martin looking vulnerable.
      THAT IS SOME RESULT FROM WILLIAMS
      Remember, they have been the slowest cars on track for a few years. Not anymore.

      ELIMINATED IN Q1
      Raikkonen, Giovinazzi, Schumacher, Mazepin and Tsunoda
      LATIFI AND RUSSELL MAKE IT IN TO Q2
      Great stuff from the Canadian who gets in to Q2 comfortably. He joins Williams teammate George Russell in Q2. A great result for Williams.
      IN THE DROP ZONE FOR Q1
      Russell, Mazepin, Latifi and Schumacher are in the bottom five with Tsunoda, who is obviously out.
      KEEP AN EYE ON THE BOYS IN RED

      GREEN LIGHT – WE ARE GO AGAIN
      Busy track now with just nine minutes remaining of this session. Tsunoda is already out. Who will join him?
      MORE IMAGES OF THAT CRASH – TSUNODA IS ALL OK

      INDEED, THAT WILL NOT POLISH OUT

      RED FLAG – BIG SMASH FOR TSUNODA
      The AlphaTauri man, who has been impressive this season, makes a rookie error at Imola.
      He has spun and destroyed his car. He is fine and out of the car, but that is big damage as he went in backwards into the barrier.
      WELL, THAT’S A GOOD START
      Mazepin has completed a lap without spinning. Still not as quick as Schumacher.
      GREEN LIGHT – QUALIFYING IS GO
      Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin are both out on track as the Haas boys try to get in some early laps.
      BEAUTIFUL DAY IN IMOLA
      No rain, plenty of sunshine. But as we know, this track is still proving tricky, even in ideal conditions.

      Lewis Hamilton in pole position for Emilia Romagna GP as world champ pips Perez and Verstappen

      The astonishment in the voice of his race engineer, Pete Bonnington, as the result was confirmed was enough to tell you this was a surprise to the team, despite their seven-year domination.
      And while no points are on offer for Saturday qualifying, Hamilton was ice-cool while Max Verstappen again melted away after another error.
      Hamilton said: “I did not expect to be ahead of two Red Bulls. They have been so quick, but the car was feeling a lot better from the beginning.
      “I love it! I love the challenge and finally we have the two Red Bulls there and it will make it harder for me because they have great race pace.
      “But I am just so happy. The first lap was clean and when I came around the last corner I was just super grateful.
      “No-one in the team expected pole, but that was the tidiest lap I could put together. We are firing on all cylinders and I think we were fortunate.
      “But it is milliseconds between us all. We can all say we can go faster, but it is what you do in those seconds which count.”
      Hamilton’s words will ring in the ears of Verstappen, who lost out in Bahrain when he passed the world champion with an illegal off-track move that was punished by the stewards.

      And again the Dutchman was at fault as he drifted off on to the grass on his final flying run, costing him time and losing him his shot at pole.
      He added: “I went off at Turn Three and it was a bit messy. You can’t be good all the time but P3 is still a good starting position.”
      Verstappen will be starting behind his teammate, Sergio Perez, who recovered from crashing into Esteban Ocon during Friday’s practice session.
      The Mexican said: “On Friday, I made a mistake and made the team work hard, so it was a good recovery. I never expected to be in P2.
      “But really, I should have been on pole, as I made a mistake on my final corner but we keep on improving and it is Sunday that matters.”
      Brit Lando Norris was left cursing his luck after being denied the chance to start in third place after exceeding track limits.
      We made a lot of improvements but that one lap that I don’t need to make a mistake on, I effed it all up!Lando Norris

      The race stewards deleted his time for gaining an advantage and he has to start in seventh on the grid.
      He added: “I’m pretty disappointed and pretty annoyed with myself.
      “We made a lot of improvements but that one lap that I don’t need to make a mistake on, I effed it all up! It’s my mistake.”
      Meanwhile, Hamilton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas will start the race down in eighth while George Russell starts in 12th ahead of world champions Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen.

      Lando Norris promises he will not swap hometown Woking to join other F1 stars living in Monte Carlo as Surrey’s more fun

      by

      LANDO NORRIS will not swap Woking for Monte Carlo — because it is more fun in Surrey.Fellow Brit George Russell moves to Monaco this summer and cites the Riviera’s weather, rather than its tax-haven advantages, as the main reason for going.

      Russell, 23, who pockets around £700,000 a year, drives for Williams while on loan from Mercedes.
      But McLaren ace Norris, 21, does not want to leave his  home, just a stone’s throw from the team’s factory, as he would miss all his mates.
      Ahead of Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, he said: “I am happy in Surrey and enjoying my cold English weather and playing golf.
      “It is just about having fun, I guess, being with mates and seeing family when I want and it is all easy and I enjoy that.
      “I just want to live my life normally. If I moved to Monaco, I would not enjoy it. I don’t want to do my job in F1 and not enjoy the things around it.” 
      Norris recently took time to visit McLaren staff — but says it was to boost morale, not win them over in place of team-mate Daniel Ricciardo.
      And, as he is local,  he has made himself available to help with the development of next year’s car — which will see big rule changes.
      Norris added: “If they need  help with the simulator or need to ask me some questions, it is just easier to go and do that.
      “It is an advantage helping in these areas with the new car.

      “I have been there for four years and I went to all the departments the other day.
      “I met all the guys and girls because they don’t always see the drivers.
      “It doesn’t just benefit me and not Daniel. I am sure he has done similar things.”

      by

      Follow ALL the action from Italy with our live blog below…
      SO HERE IS THE TOP 10 FROM FP2

      MORE MAX MISERY IN ITALY

      EVENTFUL DAY IN IMOLA

      FP2 IS OVER – LECLERC’S SMASH BRINGS AND EARLY END TO THE SESSION
      Valtteri Bottas tops FP2, just as hid FP1. The Finn is quicker than Hamilton, but only just, 0.010 seconds in it.
      Problems for Verstappen, who had a mechanical failure and of course Leclerc.
      Pierre Gasly in P3 in his AlphaTauri. Carlos Sainz in P3 and Leclerc in P4.
      SNAP OVERSTEER FOR LECLERC
      He went onto the dirty part of the track and his mistake is heavily punished.
      LECLERC HAS CRASHED
      The Ferrari man has crashed at the final corner.
      MERC STILL BOSSING THIS
      The Mercedes duo are in P1 and P2 in the timesheets again. Just like last year.
      RED BULL ARE INVESTIGATING
      As Verstappen’s car is delivered back to the team’s garage, Red Bull will now look into what caused his failure.
      That is expected to be it from him for today. Could be a late night for the mechanics.
      VERSTAPPEN STOPS WITH A PROBLEM
      The Dutchman has a mechanical issue and pulls over. Seemed to have a gearbox problem after going over the kerb. That is a blow to him and Red Bull.
      ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR FP2
      No news yet on the communication problems that hampered the morning session.
      KEEP AN EYE ON WILIAMS
      They could pass Haas this season.

      ALL GOOD AT THE TOP FOR MERC

      MAZEPIN SPINS – RED FLAG
      Another spin for the young Russian driver. He drifts off track, kisses the gravel and is sent into a spin. He is in the barriers.
      He has not impressed since making his debut. His first race lasted just four corners.
      FINAL FEW MINUTES OF FP1
      And Verstappen finally shows his pace along with Gasly. That AlphaTauri again looks strong.
      But it is Hamilton and Bottas trading places at the top with the flying runs.
      LATIFI GOES INTO THE GRAVEL
      The Canadian spins off with another unforced error. Early mistakes for Verstappen and Mazepin too.
      RED BULL BOSS CHRISTIAN HORNER ON THAT INCIDENT
      “It sounds like Ocon was on a slow lap and Sergio was on a flying lap and there was contact going into that corner.”
      SESSION RESTARTS
      The two cars have been cleared and FP1 is go again. Still not too sure what caused that accident between Perez and Ocon.
      RED FLAG AS OCON AND PEREZ CLASH
      RED FLAG 🔴The session is halted as Sergio Perez has a problem with his rear left wheel – and Esteban Ocon suffers collateral damage 👀Both are out of their cars and their FP1 is over #ImolaGP 🇮🇹 #F1 pic.twitter.com/aZKrVqdAGm— Formula 1 (@F1) April 16, 2021

      RED FLAG – PEREZ AND OCON HAVE HAD AN INCIDENT
      Perez’s left rear tyre is off the car, there is some damage to that Red Bull.
      RED BULL YET TO SHOW THEIR SPEED
      Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez have yet to show their hand. Remember at this race last year, it was a double disaster for Red Bull.Verstappen retired and Alex Albon was 15th and out of the points as Mercedes dominated.
      GASLEY LOOKING STRONG IN THE SUN
      Pierre Gasly, who won in Monza last year, got off to poor start in Bahrain after an accident stopped his race early.
      It was a blow to the Frenchman, who qualified in fifth. He’s quick. He just needs a good race here.
      Now currently top of the timesheets in his AlphaTauri.
      HAMILTON SETTING THE EARLY PACE
      Remember how the world champion struggled in the first few laps in Bahrain?
      Well, no sign of any problems at Imola for Lewis Hamilton, who is looking comfortable at the top of the timesheets.
