Max Verstappen, victory in the sprint race in Miami! Perfect race for the world champion

Max Verstappen seems to have no opponent in this season of Formula 1 either. The Dutchman won the sprint race in Miami, after winning the sprint race in China, the first of the season.

Max Verstappen was fastest in Miami practice and qualifying for the sprint race yesterday, where he secured a pole position start.

Verstappen took off like a gun and kept his lead after the first corners. Lando Norris, however, had to leave after being tackled on the right wing.

Just before the start of the race, Charles Leclerc was penalized after an incident in the pit area.

Vertstappen continued to lead the race, followed by Charles Leclerc, Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz at the end of the first 4 laps. On the following lap, Perez moved up to 3rd after passing Ricciardo, with both Red Bull drivers making the podium.

Halfway through the race, eyes were also on the battle for the last points spot. Lewis Hamilton overtook Kevin Magnussen and attacked 8th place, which Tsunoda held.

Until the end, not much happened on the circuit, with Max Verstappen taking the victory. Tonight, from 23:00, the qualifications for the actual race will take place, which will be on Sunday, also from 23:00.

“I think I didn’t have a very good start. I had to block Leclerc in the first corner. Then I calmed things down and increased the distance to him. We can modify the car, we can improve it for tomorrow’s race. I am also important points gained today”said Max Verstappen at the end of the sprint race.
