Hello, welcome to the Ringer F1 show, part of the Ringer podcast network. I am your host,

Megan Schuster, and we are here today to discuss the Miami Grand Prix sprint race.

We are doing so directly from Miami Spanors, if you can believe that they gave us press credentials

to the circuit today. We were there live. We saw it. We were. And I think it is culturally

British conditions, I think. But I was really impressed with the cars. And they just, they looked

lively. They looked light. And this sort of phenomenon where, I think where we were at turn 11,

I think there was a little bit of this super clipping, just a little as they were coming through

the corner when they weren't directly fighting. And then you could see like a couple of stages

of accelerating a little bit and then going into using and deploying the electrical power.

And it actually looked pretty cool

that second phase of acceleration.

And it wasn't too long.

And I noticed they were doing the same thing out of turn 18.

But critically, I didn't hear

down that turn 11.
