After an unplanned month away, the Formula 1 teams and drivers were back to business in the Miami Grand Prix paddock on Thursday. Here are our main takeaways from the day's media sessions and paddock digging. If F1's bosses had hoped that the rules revamp agreed for Miami would serve to silence driver complaints about the 2026 regulations, they were quickly disappointed on Thursday. Lance Stroll had got the ball rolling with a remarkable takedown of where things stand for rules that he says are fundamentally flawed. You can read his full tirade here and you've probably seen plenty of it on social media, but his basic gist was well summed up with: "I think we're still far away from proper F1 cars." Others were not quite so aggressive in what they were saying, but the messaging was pretty consistent that while the modifications for Miami are a welcome step there is still so much more that is needed.
