Where is the Miami Grand Prix?
Miami International Autodrome brings the atmosphere of the Florida party to F1 and sets up a yacht on the simulated port track as a VIP viewing platform. This is F1's fourth visit to the temporary track, which surrounds the Hard Rock Stadium. Overtaking can be difficult, obstacles approaching tracks and punishment errors. Max Verstappen won the first two games in Miami, but last year, Lando Norris and McLaren won the statement. Hot gas and tire wear can be favored by McLaren again this year.

What happened in the last game?
Oscar Piastri won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, becoming the first Australian to lead the F1 rankings since 2010. The key moment was at the first corner when Piastri challenged Verstappen to lead while Dutch drivers got off the track and rejoined ahead. Verstappen was fined and lost the lead at his pit stop. McLaren is still the top team in the all-round range. Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren all won on different tracks, but didn't adapt well when the conditions weren't right for the car.
