SEATTLE - For the first time this season, the Formula 1 circuit travels to the Americas. During Cinco de Mayo weekend, drivers will compete at this year's Miami Grand Prix, the third-ever race to be held in South Florida.
Three-time world champion Max Verstappen leads the pack again, holding an advantage of 25 points in the drivers' standings over his teammate Sergio "Checo" Pérez. The 'Flying Dutchman' has been dominant in the fairly new circuit, crossing the finish line more than five seconds ahead of Pérez last year even after starting the race in ninth position.
