ALEX and PIT and JAMES
PIT: P10. Nice job. Good few laps at the beginning there with the overtakes! It was really good to see.
PIT: Setupwise, a split balance made life a bit more difficult today. Well done, mate.
ALEX: We need to dig into why it was so strange.
JAMES: Thank you, Alex. Well done. That's as many points as we could score as a team today.
JAMES: We wanted to keep you ahead of Bearman. We’ll go through it here.
JAMES: Thank you, we’ve got a lot to do, but hopefully you can see there’s performance coming our way, and there’s more to come.
ALEX: All good. Thanks, James.

Alex has RUS chasing him on fresh tyres.
That’s not his fight, and the Mercedes driver gets by.

RUS and LEC have pitted for hards. Five seconds back.
Potential for a shower in three laps. We’re monitoring.

There's a low chance of a shower around 13 laps away.

The Safety Car remains out for the moment. Here’s the situation…
LAW, HAS, and HAD are all out of this race, with HUL just heading to the pit lane to retire, too.
Alex is P8, with COL ahead and SAI behind.
No rain yet, but some radio suggests there’s a cell of rain around 15-20 minutes away.
03 May 2026
ALEX to PIT
Just keep getting posted on this deployment out of the last corner.
It was slow a few times already this race.
03 May 2026
SAFETY CAR 🟡
A lot has happened. HAD is in the wall, and GAS is stuck on the barriers.
The Safety Car is out and Alex is now in P8 as VER pits for Hards.
03 May 2026

He slices down the inside of the Racing Bulls driver to get on the inside of Turn 1.
03 May 2026

Alex forces LAW into a lock up at the heavy braking zone of Turn 17 and is just centimetres away from the rear wing…
03 May 2026
LAP 3/57
Alex is now on the tail of LAW after VER passed the Racing Bull.
He’s only 0.8s behind the New Zealander, and looks like he has the pace to challenge for these points-paying positions.
P10 for now, with GAS behind.
03 May 2026
LAP 1/57
Lights out. Alex sits P10 in an incredibly dramatic start of the race!
He gets a good getaway, avoids the cars keeping away from a spinning VER, then passes GAS into Turn 11, then gets ahead of SAI at Turn 17.
03 May 2026

Tyre blankets off, the clock counts down, and the formation lap begins.

Star Spangled Banner 🎶
Alex is upstanding to listen to the American national anthem.
03 May 2026
Position Change ↕️
Alex will begin the race in P15 rather than the P16 position he qualified in.

03 May 2026
Race Day 🇺🇸
Welcome to the Miami GP… a little earlier than we expected.
Lights out has been brought forwards by three hours to avoid the worst of the local weather.
Alex and Lily arrived earlier today under umbrellas, but it’s dry here for the moment.

Miami Qualifying ✅
02 May 2026
ALEX to PIT
What a joke, man. Why do we make it hard for ourselves?
We know this is tricky to do. Trying to get in front of my teammate. Give him a tow.
02 May 2026
Quicker 📊
Alex has a 1:29.946, but it’s not enough to get Q3. We’re out with a P16 qualification.
02 May 2026
Out for More 👉
Alex is P15 after all 16 cars set a time. He’s stopped now to make changes and get new Pirellis.
Time for one final Q2 lap…

02 May 2026
ALEX to PIT
This car is getting worse.
02 May 2026

Back to Track 👉
Alex has returned to the garage to get some fuel and is heading back out now on fresh Softs.
2:30 left on the clock.
02 May 2026
Time On The Board 👏
A good effort from Albono! That’s a 1:30.143 to vault him up into P10 for the moment.
02 May 2026
Box, box 🅿️
In and out for Alex on his run plan. He’s on a new set of Softs again to go for a second attack.
02 May 2026
Wide 😖
Alex seems to be having deployment issues rather than outright no power.
He runs wide at Turn 11 to ruin his first push lap.
The pressure is on.
02 May 2026
ALEX to PIT
I have no power.
02 May 2026
Green Light 🟢
The session begins.
02 May 2026
PIT to ALEX
70 seconds, so you can switch off.
02 May 2026
Ready to Go 💪

02 May 2026
Qualifying 🔜
And just like that we’re just minutes away from Qualifying here in Miami.
The FW48 has more speed than was extracted in Sprint Qualifying… Can Alex make it higher up the order 24 hours later?

An Educational Sprint 🇺🇸
Not a representative finish for Alex with that P19 after he fought up to P15 over the 19 laps with some solid overtakes and good pace.
That pit stop changed the race, but will help massively as he heads to Qualifying at 4 PM local time.
02 May 2026
PIT and ALEX
PIT: Feel any different? Or one for the garage?
ALEX: More… garage than I expected.
02 May 2026
JAMES and ALEX
JAMES: Alex, thank you for that. It’ll be good data for us to set us up for this afternoon.

FINAL LAP
Alex is 2s away from BOT on the last lap of this Miami Sprint.
02 May 2026
LAP 17/19

02 May 2026
LAP 16/19
It’s P20 for Alex now, with him 12.5s away from BOT after that pit stop.
This will become a vital test ahead of the all-important qualifying session later today.
02 May 2026

He’s on scrubbed Mediums.

02 May 2026
Miami Sprint 📸
02 May 2026
LAP 10/19
Alex is closing in on P14. SAI is stuck behind both Haas cars and allowing Albono to close in.
Just 0.9s separates Alex’s P15 to the trio ahead.
02 May 2026
LAP 8/19
Alex is running 2.6s away from SAI, who is P14.
There is a 4.2s gap to PER in P16 now.
02 May 2026
LAP 5/19
Encouraging pace for Alex here with another pass!
This time PER falls onto the long run to Turn 11.
That’s P15 now.
02 May 2026

Up to P16! LAW sees a flash of blue to his left on the exit of Turn 16 as Alex speeds by.
02 May 2026
LAP 2/19
Alex has seen SAI, PER, and LAW ahead of him over Lap 2!
It’s very hard fighting in the midfield. LAW is currently 0.5s ahead, with BOT 0.7s behind.
Still P17 for Alex.
02 May 2026
LAP 1/19
A clean opening tour for Alex, but BOT passed him in the first sector.
Albono fought back into the final braking zone, though!
P17 for Alex.
02 May 2026
PIT to ALEX
Two burnouts.
02 May 2026
Formation Lap 🟢
Alex begins his formation lap. 20 other cars join him. HUL did not reach the grid with an issue on his reconnaissance laps.
It’s scorching out there, with the temperature at 32°C.
02 May 2026
Tyre Talk 🛞
Alex is racing on used Mediums.
Almost everyone else is also on the yellow-ringed rubber, aside from the Cadillacs and Aston Martins.
PER and BOT are on Hards, while ALO and STR are on Softs.
02 May 2026

Are you ready? Sprint begins in five minutes!
Make sure to finish whatever you’re doing and join us to see how Alex handles the 19 laps of Miami.
02 May 2026
Position Change ↕️
Although Alex reached SQ2 yesterday, a post-race investigation found that his fastest lap in SQ1 violated track limits.
He’ll now begin this Sprint in P19.
02 May 2026
Rest in Peace
Alex joins the other drivers at the start-finish line to pay his respects to Alex Zanardi.
The Italian passed away today and will be greatly missed.
02 May 2026
Welcome to Saturday in Miami 🇺🇸
Alex will be getting racing 15 minutes for Sprint!

Alex won’t reach SQ3 this time.

SQ2 begins with most of the 16 drivers waiting in the pit lane to get straight to business.
01 May 2026

A 1:30.988 for Albono there to get him out of SQ1.
He sneaks through by 0.055s.

He’s P14 with that time, for the moment.

Lock up at Turn 1 😫
Alex joins a collection of cars that lock up on the Turn 1 entry point.
He abandons his final push lap as the clock counts down.
01 May 2026
Fast Lap Set 👏
That’s P9 for Alex after his first Soft tyre run. A 1:31.024 for Albono after a close moment that started the lap, with NOR having to take evasive action at the final corner on a push.

Alex is back in the pit lane, this time being wheeled into the garage.
That’s 22 laps on the board for him now. No other driver has done more outside of the two Racing Bulls.

01 May 2026
Consistent Times ⏱️
Alex puts in a 1:32.234. That’s just a tenth slower than his fastest time set earlier when these tyres were fresher.
Radio messages between the car and pit wall discuss how best to tackle Turn 1 with the car’s boost… There’s definitely more time in there.
01 May 2026

It's that thing again, where every time I go into Turn 1, it’s different speeds…

Alex didn’t go faster on that lap, setting a 1:32.738, but positive radio messages suggest happiness that some tweaks have worked.
