The day after Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) went off the track, interrupting the qualifying session while there was still an attempt by several drivers to clinch pole position, the Miami Grand Prix promises surprises. If Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) and Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) will start on the front row, championship leader Max Verstappen will start from 9th place. Enough to give hope to the Mexican poleman, who will try to make up for his six-point deficit on his teammate in the standings.
Unless the presence at the outposts of drivers renowned for their warm blood – the Spaniard Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), the Danish surprise Kevin Magnussen (Haas) and the Frenchman Pierre Gasly (Alpine) -, does not come to disturb the start or the rest of the race. The other Alpine Tricolor, Esteban Ocon, will start from 8th place and will also try to finally start the season for his team. Follow our live.
