We’ve got to give a shout out to Max’s reaction to the “would lando have won if not for the safety car.” Max- “ if my mum had balls she would be my dad.” Hahahaha love max and landos friendship. Beyond happy for landos win.

lets not forget oscar, he was having a great race up until carlos screwed him over, but even despite going to the back of the grid, he still recovered to 13th in 10ish laps

Literally never expected MIAMI to produce this kind of banger. Insane race gents. GG LANDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, come on! Biggest flop for Max?! That's insane. P1 in Sprint qualie. P1 in sprint. P1 in normal Qualie. 2nd place - with damage to his car! - in the main race. You could say it was "a bit disappointing for Max." But "biggest flop" is absolutely ludicrous.

On the last lap, at 11pm, my wife turned to me and said "Dont you dare cry for Lando. You didnt cry on our wedding day!"... My wife then proceeded to cry when Lando crossed the line. Amazing!!!

This maiden win was so needed- both for Lando and McLaren as a team. I was so happy for him that I walked up and down my living room until he had finally crossed the finish line. I am afraid, that I might have woken up the sweet granny living upstairs in the middle of the night with my cries of joy, but it was totally worth it. So far, this was my favorite weekend of the season (probably slightly biased but still).

I was at the race (first one I’ve been to), what an incredible experience! Everyone in the grandstand was cheering each lap Lando drove by. Amazing atmosphere

Regarding most emotional first win, Gasly winning in Monza after being dropped by Red Bull and after Hubert's passing gets me.

as a mclaren fan, I was in tears last night, watching him on that last lap just bought me to tears. Finally, Lando got that win. Miami delivered this weekend tbf

Absolutely clutching at straws for max being biggest flop. Sprint pole, sprint win, pole, and 2nd place with damage and being unlucky with a safety car is MILES less floppy than anything Kmag did this weekend

19:35 thats such a"if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike" moment

Wait, is Tommy wearing Tsunoda merch??? And in McLaren orange. What a perfect gear for the occasion.

Still ridiculous reasoning!! Biggest flop?? Verstappen ?? Red card for both of you Matt are you the Argentina football team and therefore get all the calls. Your score means nothing

The only thing more popular than a Lando Norris win is a Kimi Raikkonen win

Max biggest flop is total nonsense! So you can have 2 minutes penalty seconds and 5 points on your license and still not being biggest flop 🙂

Max didn't flop, no point for Matt. Max scored more points than anybody else this weekend. Sprint Qualifying - 1st Sprint - 1st = 8 pts Qualifying - 1st Race - 2nd = 18 pts Total points = 26 points Lando 25 points

IMO Biggest Flop should rightfully belong to Ricciardo after giving us hope with that Sprint performance. Going from 4th to 15th strikes me as a bigger flop than going from 1st to 2nd (purely due to a safety car).

Those last fifteen laps were the longest I've ever sat through. Then Alonso started battling Ocon, Piastri started battling Ricciardo, Albon had that lockup, there was so much going on that I was on the verge of cardiac arrest

IMO the side by side racing from Gasly and Ocon is proof that they should get rid of the rule that states that whoever is in the lead in a corner owns the whole corner. If drivers are not allowed to run out their opponent on corner exit, the result is what we saw from the Alpine duo in this race. As we saw if the drivers care about giving space to their opponent on the corner then you get more side by side racing, which is more exciting than the DRS passes we have all become accustomed to watching.

Wasn't expecting the Miami GP was gonna be this good

Max said after the race that he indeed was aware of perez T1 dive. He mentiond that there even is a scratch on his diffusor😅

On the Bottas driver of the day point, I think it was a glitch. A coupple of laps earlier a graphic showed Tsunoda in second place between the two McLarens with a similar percentage of votes; Tsunoda in second makes far more sense.

People who say Lando won in a straight fight are just plain wrong. Max took a standard 23s loss on his pit stop. Lando lost 9s on his pit under the safety are. If Lando had pitted under green, he would have been 11s behind Max. Granted that Lando was a bit quicker, it would have been a difficult pass to make for the win.

*If Matt had glasses he would be Tommy*

I do think Max sustained damage from the cone hit. His complains about the car not turning are coherent with a lack of front wing downforce. Still, it was his own fault and it doesn't take away from Lando's win. Edit: I don't think he would have won, maybe there were chances, but I agree with all of you that both McLarens had better pace, even before Max hitting the cone. I just think media and youtubers fail to mention that. It wasn't damage comparable to what Piastri had though.

I think people are sleeping on the fact that before the safety car, Piastry was actually outperforming Norris in a less upgraded 2 tenths slower McLaren

It was so much worth being sleepdrunk at work this morning due to the race starting at 10pm here in Germany. Well done Lando. K-Mag entertaining as well.

Carlos got a 5 sec penalty this morning. He lost one position

I understand people are ecstatic about lando winning and fair enough. I do agree it’s good for formula 1. But I do think everyone does need to rein in the thought of them challenging Red Bull. Yes, the McLaren was ballistic but they still need to replicate that every weekend. And imola is a normal weekend where max and co will have more time to dial the set up in.

I think it was awesome the way the other drivers congratulated him. Max looked happier than he does when Max wins

Look closer at Piastri - from the back (P19) he battled through to P13 in 16 laps! He was 20s behind Gasly at lap 41 and made it to be behind Gasly by just 4s the end (lap 57). Kept getting the fastest lap. He was a rocket ship, if there were a few more laps, he'd have been in the points!

About KMag penalty points, I repeat that in Jeddah he did the exact same thing as he did to Lewis in the sprint this week for which he got 3 pen pts. Only in Jeddah it was against Yuki so the FIA took no action. Had they, KMag would already have 13 pen pts. Also, Tommy, about Yuki’s SQ failure, it was due to his decision to do only one flying lap near the end of the session - only to find the track didn’t improve but deteriorated.

Did they say that the upgrade oackage wasn't added to Piastri's car? And he had fastest lap and great pace? My dude is definitely seems not far away from his first win.

You are actually saying that Carlos send down the inside was more dangerous than Hamilton's and Perez's on lap 1. Not to mention that Oscar didn't collide into Carlos laps before because Carlos couldn't turn. Please STOP JUDGING THE CONSEQUENCES OF AN ACTION AND JUDGE THE ACTUAL ACTION

"Cinco de Mayo" is now "Lando Norris Day"😂

Everything about yesterday was absolutely wholesome! Everything was amazing.. Landos incredible drive, EVERYONE was genuinely happy for him, drivers/ principals/staff across concurrenting teams and response from the crowd... It was truly EPIC in my opinion and a day people will remember! 🧡✨

Second, especially when it's because of safety car timing, is not a flop. If he had missed the podium based on merit, that would have been a flop.

9:42 McLaren wins one race after 3 years and you ask if they can compete with red bull? they're 115 points behind red bull, they're 60 points behind Ferrari (who hasn't brought upgrades yet), are you joking?💀

It turned out that Max had severe damage on the floor, much more than Max anticipated.

I would love to see McLaren as a championship contender versus red bull. I think Miami is a bit of an outlier considering its such a low grip track with a lot of slower corners. But I think with some proper strategy, Lando/Oscar could be in the mix very regularly. Sad about Oscars race.

So, so, SO PROUD of Lando. Knew it was coming, but so excited for him!!

I think that Zhou running the softs for 30 laps was very impressive..

Would having Yuki partnering Alonso at Aston Martin make them the true Short King team?

Max Verstappen is the points winner in this Miami weekend 8 +18=26. Lando is second with 25 points.

Max was more excited about Lando winning then himself

Been waiting all day for this. Couldn't stop beaming at work

Red Bull botched the setup on Max's car. He was going at top speed like 5 km/h slower than Checo. So while this was a refreshing race, I wouldn't get my hopes up that this means Red Bull aren't the dominant team.

MATT CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS😂

Seeing all the race winners congratulate Lando was so wholesome. They all know what that first victory means and does to a driver, brilliant stuff. Roll on the rest of the season

There was no one-on-one fight, McLaren had a superior car and RedBull had the second best car. McLaren had great race pace, but it is clear that it was so tight between McLaren-RedBull-Ferrari that they were not able to pass each other without external incidents.

my fingers was crossed for the last 5 laps so hard that it got bruises. Good job Lando! soooo proud of you!

there's a few things to be highlighted for this SC situation. 1. Lando did miss the pit entrance when the SC is on because he's 11+ secs faster, at that moment, I thought that's unlucky for him! 2. But on the other hand, this 11+ secs in front of MAX also let the SC deployed behind Lando and picked up MAX! basically slowing ALL cars for Lando to have a FREE pitstop, that's HUGE and Decisive! congrats Lando!

I’m so freaking happy for lando

Great to see you guys laugh together this time 😂 . Don't get me wrong cuz it is usually Tommy cracking away and Matt having a Ferrari/Leclerc mental breakdown 😂.

In Miami McLaren brought a huge upgrade package. In Imola/Italy Red Bull AND Ferrari will bring BIG upgrade packages. So let us wait and see- before we start talking about turnarounds.

12:26 look at Bellinghams face 😂 "Hello darkness my old friend" gutted the RBs wings are slowly but surely being clipped. Simply lovely

I saw a comment that said if Checo took out Max, Carlos would be stepping into the RedBull seat as Checo took it off.

As a Max fan I’m so happy for Lando (Max was happy too); but will this continue? We need more data points. Not taking anything away but more than one star had to align for Lando’s win…that’s just racing so good for him! We will get a LOT more data at a classic track like Imola coming up next. But that McLaren race pace was REAL…but so was the Sprint win by Verstappen the day before so we shall have to see. Could we get an actual battle over the season? Yes please!

Certainly hope McLaren keep going! The car is getting better and Lando / Oscar are as good a pair of drivers as any other team

Matt no one questioned Lando’s ability…they questioned him under pressure when he should or could win. Which this race didn’t prove as he got the lead with a lucky pit and had a far superior car/tires. It wasn’t close and didn’t require an overtake. His ability in the clutch is still a question

Matt was so hyped in that intro! Love it! 😅

Cheers, lads, for another great episode of P1- M & T.

Couldn't wait for this

The reaction of max seeing the turn 1 was great.

Imagine if the safety car keeps max behind and lando caught up with the pack, he would have a one lap lead

Championship is not back on. Max was still 2nd, and will no doubt rack up the points, even if he does lose a few this year. People acting like he actually flopped. No, the car had no grip, because Miami. And yet he still would have won, even in an under performing car. Hell of a performance. A win is a win, but Norris knows it was a gift from the gods.

7:13 another delusion of Matt. This safety car mistake did influence the race massively. Lando would only have maybe just a second advantage over Max when pitting and come out fifth behind Carlos after his pitstop.

Can we also just mention Lewis and his drive. Clearly outdrove that car. Was chasing Perez for so long. 👀

Do people forget staying out longer than others anticipating safety car is part of the strategy 😵

Not sure about the "safety car mistake" because it was corrected, and they all got bunched up again. Hence Max attacking Lando on the restart.

Watching this race in person was electric! Don’t sleep on Miami just yet!

If there is a safety car to help Lando and if Max's car is damaged, yes, McLaren can win again.

“Max didn’t have a problem” other than the cone in the nose 😂

My favourite part is that it HAD to be that Lando's first win was the win that put into question Red Bull's dominance. Lando had finished 2nd to Max so much in the last 12 months that it just HAD to be his first win with the resurgence of McLaren, that would pull up all these questions of "Well Newey's leaving the Red Bull F1 Team now and already that grip looks like its slipping? Are McLaren finally gonna come through and be the ones to knock Red Bull off their throne? McLaren already have another big package in the works according to Zak Brown, could that one see them genuinely have the fastest car?" There is so much buzz. Bcs while Carlos has won twice. It's always been on weekends where Red Bull have been highly off-beat or when Max has retired. For Lando and McLaren to do it, and do it so thoroughly (7+ seconds by the end, and lapping upto 5 tenths a lap quickest of the grid with fastest lap after fastest lap and also faster than Max on 27 lap-old mediums while Max was on fresh hards) has made this not only a great statement from Lando to prove the critics wrong, but a big day for F1 as a whole. Probably the biggest win he's ever fought found himself fighting for, and it was the first one he saw through. Can't wait to see how this evolves and how this post-win-confident and hopefully less self-deturring Lando goes about his business, and how McLaren utilise upgrade packages now seeing that they've made two massive packages in 2 years, and both have payed off MASSIVELY.

I don't begrudge Norris his first win, it was well deserved and it certainly won't be his last but let's take some things into consideration. Norris was fortunate with the timing of the safety car , he had tyres that were about 8 laps fresher than Verstappens and Max also had some minor damage after he flew across the chicane. People are getting a little carried away in my opinion but well done Lando Norris

Happy for Lando, but races should be won by the best driver in the best car, not weird external factors. I do like Lando, but without that safety car Max wins.

the 12% Bottas for DOTD was to take Lewis out of it because we're tired of him complaining about the car

May the 4th be with you lando 😂🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

WDC not back on... Expect Max to win with a 30 second lead at Imola.

Leclerc made a launch onto verstappen after the sc ended which made lando escape out of drs. Thank you charles.

David coulthards comments on the alpine was my comment of the race weekend 😂

Thankyou, excellent Podcast as always. So happy for Landos win and the bonus was that you only had to listen to 1 national anthem on the Podium. When was the last time that happened?

it's not only carlos who said he could have won if he had stop 1 lap later. Also the engineers, Vasseur and the telemetry said it

i watched the cool down and that hilarious meme was cut from a different room because max didn't do that in the cooldown video i saw

It almost seems like Vcarb has one good car or an upgrade that Ricciardo and Tsunoda fight over.

So does everyone for some reason think that Red Bull have zero upgrade/development plan in place? This was a massive upgrade package for McLaren, and Red Bull has had very little development so far. Red Bull will also get faster as the season progresses, so unless McLaren has even more upgrades in the pipeline, Red Bull will pull ahead again.

Hot take: without the safety car, Oscar was a great shout for that win.

Annnd, as it turned out, Max DID have a seriously damaged floor from hitting the bollard. Not taking anything away from Lando but he, for a change, was the recipient of good fortune with both the timing of the safety car and a compromised Redbull.

Sure, the safety car was a big factor, most likely the deciding factor, but in the end, there was a restart, Max was right behind him, and Lando just had the better pace with the McLaren. I'm happy he got his first win this way, a Max DNF would've probably tainted his victory a bit.

Typically, Max lets someone else in the field win a race once a season.

Its not that I was not happy that Lando won. I was genuinely happy and seeing his excitement brought me back to when Max wasnt always winning. No disrespect to Max, but since he has been winning nonstop him and his team dont have that hype over it anymore. Its just another day for them. Lando jumping and diving onto his team is what I have been missing. Excitement from the driver for winning. However...I also was upset for Oscar. He dropped back so far and I understand why his team didnt want to risk a safety car. But he didnt belong where he finished.

Sometimes your unlucky, sometimes your lucky. Now it finally felt in the good side of Lando. He deserved this win so much.

First time I finally tuned into your watch-along and Lando was leading and ended up winning!! Incredible, I´m definately tuning into more watchalongs and so happy for Lando!!!! LET´S GO LANDOOO!!!

Netflix bouta a make a hell of an episode 😂

Glad he won, but I wish his first win would have come from pace, like he had at Sochi. Still happy for him though. Also, I'm kind of torn when it comes to the 2 tire compound rule happening under SC/VSC. It's such an unfair advantage. I get that it's for safety reasons in case someone gets damage during the incident, but it just seems so unfair. And on the lack of Red bull pace, I think the 1 practice session could have played a big role in that. I don't want to jump the shark and say Mclaren is on the same level as the Red Bull just yet. It could have been as simple as red bull getting their setup wrong, which has happened before. Just look at Singapore from last year.

For me as a Verstappen fan Landos win was in my Top 5 emotional momenty in recent F1 history. 2021 is the top and then the Grosjean accident 2020. After that Landos so deserved win just before Gasly winning in Monza after being demoted by RB. Ending with the departure of Vettel who i adored most after Schumacher. I loved how everybody was congratulating him.

It was also the 1st time God Save the King was played in an F1 podium!

Second most wholesome win, right after Rubens Barrichelo at Hockenheim in 2000

Let's go LANDO!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Imagine if Piastri didn't pit and did similar to Lando :o
