2023 Miami GP Review:
In the previous Miami GP, Max Verstappen stood out with an impressive comeback performance, starting from ninth position to secure victory. Although Sergio Pérez, his teammate, started at the front, it was Verstappen who shone with strategic overtaking and crossed the finish line first, scoring his third victory of the season.
The weather conditions were a challenge, with ambient temperatures of 27ºC and the asphalt reaching 35ºC. Verstappen opted for hard tires in a divergent strategy that proved crucial to his success. He made decisive overtakes and, even after a slightly longer pit stop, he regained the lead from Pérez and maintained it until the end, demonstrating his skill and his team’s tactical effectiveness. Sergio Perez secured second place for Red Bull, and Fernando Alonso completed the podium in third.
