A Surprise Win in Miami with Thrills & Spills & Leclerc on Podium
For the seventh consecutive time, Max Verstappen secured pole position this weekend in Miami.
And a lot happened at the start when Leclerc, second on the grid, had an unexpected problem at the first bend with challenges working his clutch and spinning his wheels in the process.
Perez in his Red Bull took his opportunity and shot past Charles so fast on the inside that he and Leclerc could have crashed. And during that poor start Carlos Sainz, Leclerc’s team-mate, also passed him in the approach to Turn 1. Perez had another near incident as he nearly made contact with Verstappen in front after locking up. And in that process Leclerc managed to regain P2 as Sainz and Perez fell behind him.
