Formula 1 celebrates a perfect weekend
Maybe it’s not yet time to breathe a sigh of relief for the danger definitively averted, but it is undeniable how Formula 1 seen in Miami has raised its level of spectacle and competition compared to the first three seasonal outings. Whether partly due to the rule changes decided at the table during the break, or partly due to the characteristics of a circuit that did not excessively accentuate the criticalities of the F1 2026 cars, Stefano Domenicali can still smile and enjoy a perfectly smooth weekend, also regarding the weather alert. And in the end, it was enough to bring the race forward by three hours, not only to avoid the most worrying thunderstorms, but also to enjoy a GP completely dry, despite the continuous warnings from engineers via radio to the drivers about the perpetually incoming rain.

F1 boss Stefano Domenicali speaks
“In a very special weekend for what unfortunately happened with the passing of Alex Zanardi – says the president and CEO of F1 Group to Sky microphones – it was a really beautiful Grand Prix. People here in America are understanding what Formula 1 is, there is an interest that gives the dimension of our sport, which is a sport that always looks forward. I am very happy about this.” “We are resilient, at first everyone talks, but in the end there is always someone who has to draw the conclusions,” he then added, regarding the criticisms of the Sprint Race format which however worked during the Miami weekend.

“I am proud – Domenicali continues – because everyone understands that at the center obviously there is the sporting competition, there is the fight between drivers, between teams, between engineers, but then there is also a whole other dimension that is experienced in a different way. Then, of course, the regulations are what they are and there is continuous evolution, but this has always been part of Formula 1. Together with all the components that have to decide the regulations we try to take into account the evolutions of trends, but now we are focused on the fact that the races are really beautiful.” “We will see the next GP in Canada and this is now our focus, but I am happy about this moment we are living,” concluded the F1 boss, Stefano Domenicali.
