After an outstanding Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, Formula 1 will now travel to Miami in the United States for the fifth race of the season. Sergio Perez finished first at the recently concluded race in Baku, just 2.137 seconds ahead of teammate Max Verstappen. Charles Leclerc's second place in the Sprint and third place in the Grand Prix were a welcome improvement after his two retirements in the first three races, even though Ferrari were predictably unable to compete with Red Bull over the course of a race.
Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr might have a slight edge over the others as they had podium finishes the last time Formula 1 was in Miami.
