F1 2023: Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix

The F1 drivers are feeling the heat in the streets of Miami for the next leg of the F1 23 season, the Miami Grand Prix.

As the lights went out, the street racing action in Miami is on with Max Verstappen making bold moves for the lead and engaged in a heated battle with his fellow Red Bull driver, Sergio Perez. 

In Lap 19, Carlos Sainz pits from P3 because he's unable to get past Fernando Alonso. Unfortunately, he was slapped with a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

Halfway through the race, Verstappen's not stopping until he pits in Lap 46, coming out behind Perez in P2. As the end draws near, Verstappen regained the lead from Perez and stayed on until the very end.
