Miami 2026: pre-sprint nonsense and qualifying
F1 is back. Huzzah! Such a shame it’s contaminated with the sprint bullshit. Anyway, ahead of the sprint and qualifying today the idea that struck me was Piastri for the Grand Prix win… but he’s only 7 and I think this is going to see some fierce competition between Ferrari and Mercedes. Leclerc for 7 to win the sprint is worth considering, I just wish it were each way. He does start 4th, but may start tastily. And a first corner incident is eminently possible. But decided not to back anything for the sprint/qualifying. Briefer than usual, rather tired. Morris
