The Miami Grand Prix could be an extremely wet race – something F1 drivers do not have a lot of experience at with the 2026 cars.
Pierre Gasly shared his challenging experience of driving the Alpine F1 car in wet conditions, comparing it to needing an “underwear change every lap.”
The weather forecast for the Miami Grand Prix predicts heavy thunderstorms on race day, posing a unique challenge as current cars haven’t been tested in wet conditions during a competitive session.
Gasly highlighted his extreme experience driving the new 2026 cars in wet conditions during pre-season testing, mentioning how he felt prepared for any challenge he might face.
Despite expecting a challenging race if it’s wet, Gasly expressed confidence in his ability to handle difficult conditions and make the most out of the situation.
He acknowledged the tricky grip conditions in wet weather but noted that he sees it as an opportunity to showcase his skills and navigate the potential pitfalls.
Gasly emphasized the importance of staying away from traps in wet conditions while remaining optimistic about the exciting race ahead and the potential opportunities it might bring.
