Where is the Grand Prix in Miami being held?

At the Miami International Autodrome, yachts are positioned trackside as VIP viewing platforms, giving Formula One a Florida party vibe. This is Formula One’s fourth visit to the temporary track that circles Hard Rock Stadium. Overtaking is difficult, and mistakes are penalized with barriers near the track. Max Verstappen took first place in the first two Miami races, but Lando Norris and McLaren made a big splash last year. Tire wear and heat may work in McLaren’s favor once more this year.

What happened in the Last Race?

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was won by Oscar Piastri, who became the first Australian to top the Formula One rankings since 2010. The pivotal moment occurred at the first corner when Verstappen lost the lead to Piastri, who ran off course and came back ahead. After receiving a penalty, Verstappen lost the lead during his pit stop. In terms of overall pace, McLaren is still the best team. Although they have all competed for victories on various tracks, Red Bull, Ferrari, and McLaren have not adjusted effectively when the conditions aren’t right for their cars.
