F1 show in Miami, Domenicali rejoices: “Beautiful GP, in the USA they are understanding our sport”

Formula 1 celebrates a perfect weekend Perhaps it is not yet time to breathe a sigh of relief that the danger has finally been averted, but it is undeniable that the Formula 1 seen in Miami has raised its level of entertainment and competition compared to the first three outings of the season. Either with some of the credit for the changes to the regulations decided on the table during the break, or partly for the characteristics of a circuit that has not excessively accentuated the critical issues of the 2026 F1 single-seaters, Stefano Domenicali can still smile and enjoy a weekend that went very smoothly, even with regards to the weather warning. 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 completely dry GP, despite the engineers’ constant warnings via radio to the riders about the rain that was constantly on the way. F1 boss Stefano Domenicali speaks “On a very particular weekend due to what unfortunately happened with the passing of Alex Zanardi – says the president and CEO of F1 Group to Sky microphones – it was a truly 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 ahead. I’m very happy about this”. “We are resilient, at the beginning we let everyone talk, but in the end there is always someone who has to draw conclusions,” he then added, regarding the criticisms of the Sprint Race format which, however, worked over the weekend in Miami. “I’m proud – continues Domenicali – because everyone understands that obviously at the center there is sporting competition, there is the fight between drivers, between teams, between engineers, but then there is also a whole other dimension which is experienced in an even different way. Then, it is clear, 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 evolution of trends, but now we are focused on the fact that the races are really nice.” “We will see the next GP in Canada and this is our focus now, but I am happy with this moment we are experiencing,” concluded F1 boss Stefano Domenicali.
