Ferrari's Miami GP performance has raised serious concerns about their championship prospects after their major upgrade package failed to deliver expected results. Charles Leclerc finished eighth while Lewis Hamilton placed sixth, with both drivers facing challenges during the race.

McLaren's upgrades proved more effective as they dominated Sprint events, while Mercedes won with Kimi Antonelli despite saving their major changes for Canada. Chandhok stated, "If that is the big Ferrari upgrade for this early part of the season, then McLaren and Mercedes won't be worried. Miami should have been the weekend which propelled them in front."

Ferrari's small turbo power unit helps with fast starts but appears to become a disadvantage as races progress. Croft questioned whether Ferrari has another working upgrade package, stating, "otherwise they are in trouble" as rivals continue developing their cars.
