MIAMI — Max Verstappen took an aggressive approach right out of the starting gate at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix on Sunday and it paid off.
The Red Bull Racing driver is the first ever champion at the Miami International Autodrome, edging out Charles Leclerc by more than three seconds after a late crash let the Scuderia Ferrari driver try to make a late charge.
Leclerc, however, remains atop the 2022 Formula One World Championship standings after five races. Leclerc was won two and Verstappen, who started third Sunday behind Leclerc and Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz Jr., has won three.
