Surprise in the Miami Grand Prix 2024! The sixth round of the Formula 1 World Championship brought surprises: Lando Norris (McLaren) takes his first victory of the season and Max Verstappen (Red Bull) did not achieve victory, despite the fact that he started from pole position. The podium is completed by Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) with his third place.
It was not a good day for the Mexican Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez, who started fourth and from the beginning, on lap 1, he almost went off the track, but he remained in the top 10 and finished fifth, behind Carlos Sainz (Ferrari).
Pérez was also investigated for a possible false overtaking, which ultimately cleared him, but during the race he complained that his tires were slipping.
We experienced an unusual race with a cone on the track that caused a Virtual Safety Car and more yellow flags due to an incident between Kevin Magnussen and Logan Sargeant, after which the Red Bulls were unable to regain the pace.
Lando received a hug from his former teammate Carlos Sainz and the Briton thanked his team: ”On Friday I knew we had rhythm. Today we have achieved it. We had the perfect strategy. What do I say (to McLaren)? I have made many mistakes along the way, but today we have achieved it and it is because of them. “We have been together and I believe in them.”
Norris, who hurt his nose while at a party in the Netherlands a week ago, added: “About time, huh? What a race. It’s been a long time coming, I’ve finally been able to do it for my team and deliver for them. “It was a long race, the whole weekend was good with some small hiccups along the way.”
