Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking.

For the first time in a very long time, we have Formula One action to be talking about today.

Of course, it's been sprint qualifying at the Miami Grand Prix.

Sprint qualifying session where Lando Norris has taken the pole position ahead of Kimmy Antonelli in the Mercedes.

But all four of the big teams, let's call them, represented in the top five.

Yeah, that wasn't in the script, was it?

It looks like we've had a month off.

I was gone at Mercedes stuff at the top, pretty boring. Should we actually try now?

Should we do it? Yeah, I will do it. And they've done it. And it's actually quite good.

I enjoyed that. It was some good laps coming in. Was expecting Mercedes at every point to step up and take the top spot and they just didn't.

And it looks like in the heat, Mercedes seemed to be struggling a lot because I don't know if you

saw in practice, Ben, many a message from Mercedes powered cars saying that they've got weird

noises, weird power coming through, just doesn't feel comfortable for them at the moment.

There we have it. We've got their kryptonite.

We melt Mercedes and we've got an entertaining sport.

Toto Wolfe's like being blasted at a thousand degrees.

Yeah, a lot more competitive in today's session.

I could just imagine Domenicali after the last month of touting how F1 has no problems is just actually doing one big dab around the Miami lap.

Hovering about the front.

Lying.
