- The effect of Porpoising seems way less here at the Miami circuit as compared to the initial four races that we have been to. Have teams found a way to cure the problem or is it the circuit? Only time will tell.
- Guanyu Zhou asks for his teammate’s well-being over the team radio.

- Ferrari is still leading the time charts as their drivers are 1-2 in the standings.
- Christian Horner says, “An interesting track, and I’ve never know a race have so much demand. The characteristics of the track look like a cross between Jeddah and Baku. Tyres will be crucial. It’s going to be a fascinating race.”

Meanwhile, Ferrari are looking like the team to beat as they are on top of their F1-75 car. Their Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc has dominated the proceedings so far in the 2022 season after winning the Bahrain and Australian Grand Prix.
Red Bull suffered reliability issues in the starting three races but came out strongly at the Imola Grand Prix. On top of it, Red Bull saw a 1-2 finish at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix with Verstappen claiming his second victory of the season.
Whereas, Mercedes will look to bring updates to Miami and cure their Porpoising issues. They are way behind in terms of points as they are on 77 points and third in the Constructors’ standings. The Silver Arrows team looks like the third-fastest team after their rivals Ferrari and Red Bull.
