Checo put up a fight for the lead, but it was Max Verstappen who took victory for Red Bull in Miami. F1 MiamiGP Formula1
Max Verstappen passed Sergio Perez to take victory in the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday, moving up from ninth on the grid to win his third race of the season.
After a frantic qualifying session ended prematurely, a mixed-up grid saw Perez joined by Alonso on the front row and, after rapper LL Cool J introduced the drivers individually onto the grid, it was down to business at the Miami International Autodrome. Despite a slow start and dropping to 10th, Verstappen was able to pick his way past Esteban Ocon and Valtteri Bottas by the end of the second lap by the end of the second lap on hard tyres as he looked to make his way through the pack.
Russell kept close enough to Verstappen to capitalise on his overtake on the Alpine of Gasly too, with the Mercedes driver using his speed advantage on the start/finish straight to make a move on Gasly himself heading into the braking zone at Turn 1, putting himself back into the top five to leave no net loss to him at least.
Away from the leaders, Sainz looked to make a move on Alonso by springing an undercut attempt on Aston Martin as he dived into the pits for hard tyres. A swift 2.2-second stop for Ferrari crucially put Sainz out ahead of a group of drivers led by Albon in a ‘DRS train’, with the Spaniard quickly able to pass Hamilton too as he looked to gain the time he needed to overtake Alonso.
This was evidenced shortly afterwards by Russell being able to chase after and overtake Sainz in the Ferrari for P4, with Russell able to make solid headway with his race pace, whereas Hamilton pitted and rejoined behind Albon in 13th on lap 38.
