La Fórmula 1 regresó a la actividad con una gran carrera en Miami. En lo que fue apenas el cuarto Gran Premio de la temporada (suspendidos los de Medio Oriente por la guerra entre Estados Unidos e Israel con Irán), Mercedes demostró que, a pesar de las mejoras que otras escuderías llevaron al circuito floridense, es el gran rival a vencer, ya que el italiano Andrea Kimi Antonelli se impuso por tercera vez consecutiva para ampliar aún más su ventaja en el campeonato de pilotos, donde es líder absoluto.

Adelantada por la amenaza de fuertes tormentas para la tarde, la carrera tuvo emoción desde el comienzo hasta el final. La largada fue caótica (algo que los aficionados de la F1 saben apreciar muy bien), debido a que el tetracampeón Max Verstappen casi se queda afuera con un trompo en una curva que pudo resultar en un accidente masivo. El neerlandés, que partía segundo, peleaba mano a mano por el liderato con el monegasco Charles Leclerc, pero el incidente lo mandó atrás. En apenas unos segundos la carrera ya tenía nuevo líder, ya que Antonelli había salido en la pole position.

En el sexto giro varios contuvieron el aliento porque se produjo el accidente del día, cuando en la entrada a una curva el neozelandés Liam Lawson (de RB) tocó una rueda trasera del Alpine de Pierre Gasly, haciéndole perder el control del monoplaza, que volcó, quedando un instante de cabeza, antes de completar la pirueta y quedar inutilizable a un costado.

El que aprovechó los incidentes fue el argentino Franco Colapinto, de muy buen fin de semana, que tras largar octavo llegó a estar cuarto (sexto tras el incidente de Verstappen) gracias a la estrategia de neumáticos y paradas. El pilarense se mantuvo siempre en los puntos (entre los primeros 10) y logró finalizar en la misma posición de largada, 8°. Eso iguala su mejor rendimiento en su corta trayectoria en la Fórmula 1.

Prometía ser un gran fin de semana para Leclerc, puntero ya en la primera vuelta, pero su Ferrari no tuvo mucho que hacer contra el rendimiento superior del Mercedes de Antonelli y el McLaren de Lando Norris, vigente campeón. La cosa empeoró en el final, cuando el asedio de Oscar Piastri (McLaren) dio frutos y logró el sobrepaso. El monegasco intentó recuperar el último lugar del podio, pero fue para peor: perdió el control del auto, dio un trompo y rompió su alerón delantero. Dañado, no pudo impedir que Russell y Verstappen lo dejaran atrás.

El mexicano Sergio “Checo” Pérez (16°) no tuvo mucho que hacer en Miami. El rendimiento de los Cadillac sigue dejando mucho que desear, y junto a su compañero de equipo, Valtteri Bottas (18°), y los dos Aston Martin de Fernando Alonso (15°) y Lance Stroll (17°), se repartieron los últimos cuatro lugares entre los que pudieron terminar el Gran Premio. Estos cuatro pilotos y Nico Hulkenberg, de Audi, son los únicos que no han logrado sumar ningún punto en lo que va del año.

La próxima parada será el circuito Gilles Villeneuve en el Gran Premio de Canadá, pero para eso habrá que esperar hasta el 24 de mayo. Antonelli llegará a la quinta carrera con 20 puntos de ventaja sobre su compañero, George Russell, ambos de Mercedes.

(CNN) — On Saturday, President Donald Trump told reporters that he was “looking at” a new Iranian peace proposal. Then a reporter reminded Trump that he had said the previous night that the US might be better off not making a deal with Iran.

“Well, I wouldn’t have to. I didn’t say that,” Trump responded. “I said that if we left right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild. But we’re not leaving right now. We’re gonna do it so nobody has to go back in two years or five years.”

In reality, Trump did say — on camera — what the reporter told him he said. His denial was yet another case in which the president wrongly asserted he hadn’t said something he had said in a public forum.

Trump made the remark about Iran during a Friday speech to the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches in South Florida. After mentioning that one of his golf clubs is hosting a PGA Tour tournament, he said: “Yesterday, somebody came up, said, ‘Sir, the tournament is great.’ I said, ‘What tournament are you talking about? I’m so busy with the Iranians calling trying to make a good deal, and we’re not gonna let that happen.’ But … they’ve gotta make a bad deal. But — if they make a deal at all. Because frankly, maybe we’re better off not making a deal at all, do you want to know the truth. Because we can’t let this thing go on.”

Trump did say at a different point of the Friday speech that “if we left right now, it would take them 20 years, 25 years, to rebuild the place.” But that clearly doesn’t negate the existence of his “maybe we’re better off not making a deal at all” remark.

A history of denying remarks he made on camera

It’s one thing for the president to try to deny having made a remark someone claimed he made in a private meeting. For years, Trump has attempted something more brazen: denying he ever made remarks the public saw him make.

In December 2025, for example, when an ABC News reporter asked Trump on camera whether he would release the video of the US military’s controversial follow-up strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean, Trump said, “I don’t know what they have, but whatever they have we’d certainly release, no problem.” But when another ABC News reporter reminded him five days later that he said he would have no problem releasing the video, Trump falsely claimed, “I didn’t say that. That’s — you said that, I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”

During his 2024 campaign, Trump falsely denied he had said “lock her up” about his 2016 election opponent, Hillary Clinton, though he had done so on multiple occasions at televised rallies attended by thousands of people. During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, he denied having made two remarks he had made on camera the previous week.

Trump has also tried to inaccurately portray the nature of some of his previous public remarks. In an interview with Time magazine in April 2025, he wrongly claimed he had “obviously” been speaking “in jest” and exaggerating when he promised during his 2024 campaign to immediately end the war in Ukraine if he was elected ag
