How to follow the free practice sessions on TV/streaming – The presentation of the GP Miami – GP Miami numbers and stats
Good evening and welcome back to LIVE LIVE of the free practice of the Miami GP, fifth round of the 2023 F1 World Championship. On the Florida circuit, the teams will work hard to find the ideal set-up in view of tomorrow’s qualifying and Sunday’s race.
Ferrari arrives at the start of this weekend with a renewed SF-23. The Maranello team, as admitted by the Team Principal Frederic Vasseur, will introduce some updates related to the sides, the bottom and the diffuser in order to make the single-seater more performing. The podiums in Baku (Azerbaijan) in the Sprint Race and in the GP gave the Prancing Horse some oxygen, but the limit in tire management remains clear, especially in relation to what Red Bull has done.
The Monegasque Charles Leclerc and Spanish Carlos Sainz they hope to have a car capable of making better use of the Pirelli compounds, knowing that it will be very difficult to win. The RB19, in fact, has a consistent margin of advantage and the Dutch Max Verstappen has a great desire to return to success, given the double center of his teammate, Sergio Perez, in Azerbaijan.
