It's the first race weekend of the new Formula 1 season- new regulations, new drivers, new battles and new controversies! Manon and Maia break down the most important, silliest and most exciting moments of the weekend.

There are so many questions going into the season: Will Lando Norris have a car to defend his driver's championship? Can Oscar Piastri match his McLaren team mate? Are the Mercedes of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli going to be the rocket ships we expect? Is Max Verstappen right about the "anti-racing' new regulations? Will Isack Hadjar succumb the Red Bull Racing second seat curse? And can the Ferraris of Charles Lecler cand Lewis Hamilton catch some luck with their strategies?

The season kicked off in Melbourne this weekend, with George Russell, Kimi Antonelli and Charles Leclerc ending up on the podium, the new regulations causing a multitude of exciting battles and DNFs... Then there are Aston Martin and Cadillac at the back.

The Miami Grand Prix was more exciting than previous races, with changes to the regulations improving racing, safety and qualifying. Kimi Antonelli is still flying high at the top of the championship, dominating the race, with his Mercedes team mate George Russell struggling this weekend. McLaren has taken a big step forward, with Lando Norris Winning the sprint and Oscar Piastri in second place;they're ones to watch. Charles Leclerc had a good, but unlucky weekend, ending his race with a spin, pushing him down the places, plus being given a controversial penalty. Lewis Hamilton was on his own in the race, suffering damage on lap 1. Red Bull Racing seem to be out of the midfield, with Max Verstappen coming second in qualifying, and Alpine are still really fast. The FIA made the changes they needed and we're so excited for the rest of the F1 season.
