Turns 11 and 17 are the end of long straights so you have to hit the brakes well. It’s an opportunity to overtake, but you can also make mistakes and lock up and ruin your lap. Sector 1 is a high-speed corner with a series of S-shaped corners, so it’s important to look at the line and the curbs. And if you go off the line even a little, you lose track grip thanks to the dust on the new surface. The triple-apex left-hand corner, Turns 6-8, is tough on the right-front tire, which is especially problematic in the race. And the exit is very important as it leads to a long straight.

Strategy and set-up key Bernie Collins (former Aston Martin F1 strategist): The 5.412km temporary circuit built around Hard Rock Stadium has only been raced once so far, so each team can Historical data available for reference are limited. For the 2022 race, the leaders chose a medium-hard one-stop strategy. Due to the difficulty of overtaking, most drivers remained on track after the safety car was deployed and it was decided that the benefit of fresh tires was not enough to regain positions. There was an issue with the track being a bit too soft, which has been resurfaced for the 2023 event. This can have a huge impact on tire degradation and strategy, and we have a lot to learn in practice on Friday. Part of the track trouble was attributed to the incredibly high track temperature of 59.3 degrees at its peak. Pirelli’s C2, C3 and C4 compounds are mid-range from the 2023 lineup and were brought to the circuit with this in mind. Off-track, the paddock’s hospitality unit was relocated inside the stadium. This may sound like a very small change, but it will increase the distance and time teams go to eat between sessions and the time it takes for drivers to reach their rooms. Therefore, it is expected that some people will be late for the meeting! The paddock for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix has been moved inside Hard Rock Stadium. Current form Red Bull have won every Grand Prix so far in 2023, with Max Verstappen leading the standings with a six-point lead over Sergio Perez, who is now in the middle of a hot stream. It is in. The Mexican driver appears to be enjoying the pressure of a title fight after picking up a sprint win and victory at Sunday’s Grand Prix in Baku. I probably wouldn’t bet on Red Bull here, but you never know what could happen at a circuit like this. The battle for second place in the Constructors’ Championship remains tight, with Ferrari in Azerbaijan with Charles Leclerc on pole and sprint pole and third in the Grand Prix. That could change, however, as Mercedes and Aston Martin are in a tight race. Fernando Alonso finished fourth in Baku and is now third in the drivers’ standings. But Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton has always been in form, with the seven-time champion finishing second in Australia last month. Further back, there is almost no difference between McLaren and Alpine, and Haas is also doing well. Home hero Logan Sargent is one of two drivers looking to score his first points of the season, and it would be a great points-scoring spot for the rookie. Sergio Perez Red Bull Racing Sergio Perez boasts overwhelming strength as a street racer. Iconic Moments There has only been one Miami Grand Prix so far, but last year’s race saw a fierce battle between Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and former Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas. The showdown between Bottas and Hamilton ended with Bottas getting involved and Hamilton passing. On the other hand, there were flashy clashes, such as the collision between Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly, Mick Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
