It’s Race Week in Miami and The Critical Lap is bringing the heat! We’re talking Max Verstappen’s new dad energy, Mercedes teaming up with NASDAQ, and a review of the first look at the F1 movie soundtrack (spoiler: no Kane Brown???). Plus, we break down the best and worst Miami GP liveries from the pink Racing Bull to the Sauber Slime to the Ferrari... choices that were made. You'll get tips on exactly when and how to watch this weekend's action (no matter your timezone), our favorite nicknames for the Miami track, hot takes on the 2026 F1 changes, and predictions for who’s taking the win. Also, is silly season about to start?? The rumors have begun in earnest (looking at you Checo!).
