Yuki Sunoda of Alfatouri did not play well today as he only finished at number eighteen. He followed Mick Schumacher, who has a lot to do before the Miami Grand Prix. He has yet to score a point in the 2022 season and the home race could be the ideal place for him to laugh.
Last but not least, it was again a painful day for William’s driver Nicholas Latifi who only managed to finish 20th.
