The second Miami Grand Prix takes place today as Formula One heads Stateside in an increasingly interesting Red Bull title battle.
Sergio Perez is threatening to make a real fight out of this year’s championship having closed the gap to six points with victory in Azerbaijan last Sunday before claiming pole position in Florida.
Red Bull may be the truly dominant team in 2023 but Max Verstappen starting back in ninth will make for fascinating viewing as Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin look to pull off an upset.
