The Miami Grand Prix saw excitement and controversy as Checo Pérez’s maneuver on the first lap caught the attention of fans and drivers alike. The Mexican driver attempted to overtake Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz but ended up almost colliding with his Red Bull teammate, Max Verstappen.
Verstappen revealed to the media that Pérez’s move resulted in a slight hit to his car, although he did not comment on whether it affected his second-place finish in Miami. Pérez, who was close to taking second position on the first lap, ultimately fell to fifth due to lack of grip.
Despite the drama, Red Bull remains the top team in the constructors’ championship with 239 points, followed by Ferrari with 187 points. In the Drivers’ Championship, Verstappen holds the lead with 136 points, while Pérez sits in second place with 103 points.
The Miami Grand Prix may have not resulted in victory for Red Bull, but the team’s dominant performance keeps them in a strong position heading into the next race. Fans can expect more thrilling battles and strategic maneuvers as the season progresses.
