Miami GP Faces Criticism from F1 Drivers and Fans Alike.

The driver introductions at the 2023 F1 Miami GP were met with disdain from most drivers, who felt it was unnecessary showmanship. While Liberty Media aims to make F1 more entertaining, drivers believe there should be a limit to the amount of TV and other activities they have to do before a race. The driver intros are happening at six more races, but many drivers feel it is not furthering the sport. The Miami GP is a parking lot circuit that produces passable racing at best and is built on contrivance, which is not what F1 needs to be relevant.

"Verstappen's Epic Comeback: From Ninth to Miami GP Victory"

Max Verstappen won the Miami GP after starting ninth on hard tires and overtaking polesitter Sergio Perez, who started on mediums. Verstappen's pace advantage on the new Miami surface allowed him to make incremental gains on Perez, who pitted for fresh rubber on lap 20. Verstappen maintained his lead despite his aging tires and made quick work of Perez on laps 47 and 48 with new medium tires. Fernando Alonso finished third for Aston Martin, while Lewis Hamilton recovered from 13th to claim sixth.

Miami's Motorsport Scene Takes Center Stage with F1 and Sportscar Racing.

Lewis Hamilton has described Mercedes' struggles at the Miami GP as a "kick in the gut" after ending up seventh in FP2, nearly one second adrift of pacesetter Max Verstappen. Hamilton said that the team was trying lots of different things to find a good balance with the car, but it was a little bit difficult to take sometimes. He also felt that the performance of the W14 had felt no better than the difficult 2022 car, and the team was desperate for the next race at Imola when a major update is due to arrive.

Technical details of various Formula 1 cars, including Red Bull Racing, Ferrari, Alpine, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, and Haas, have been revealed ahead of the Miami GP.

F1 Miami Grand Prix: Alonso supports shorter DRS zones, Red Bull unveils fan-designed livery, drivers arrive, and Verizon deploys private network.

Fernando Alonso has backed the FIA's decision to shorten DRS zones for the upcoming F1 Miami GP, citing data from last year's races that showed both tracks were among the easiest for overtaking under DRS. Alonso also acknowledged that it has become harder to follow cars ahead this year due to the development of cars to the new aero rules. He suggested that behind the two Red Bulls, the field is so tightly-packed that overtaking isn't easy, and the tyres still get overheated quite heavily if you follow cars.

Miami Grand Prix: F1 Drivers and Livery Revealed.

The FIA has shortened the first two of three DRS zones for the upcoming Miami GP, reducing the activation points by 75 metres each. The changes have been made to better balance overtaking on a circuit-by-circuit basis. The tweaks are not related to the DRS reduction at last weekend's Azerbaijan GP. The Miami International Autodrome has also been fully repaved and received minor layout tweaks, while the run-off areas and barriers have been reduced and re-aligned.
