Max Verstappen wins the Miami Grand Prix outside the Miami International Auto drome around Hard Rock Stadium. He started 9th in the 20-car starting grid.
A miscue early during Saturday's qualifying forced Verstappen into the garage for repairs. Then, it was red-flagged after last year's Miami Grand Prix polesitter, Ferrari's Charles LeClerc, crashed in the closing five minutes.
Verstappen gave the fans a thrill with an exciting and typical move in the opening laps by picking off his competitors one by one. Earning his 3rd win of the season and increased his lead in the world championship standings to 14 points.
Verstappen's win total goes up to 38, which ties him for most all-time at Red Bull Racing with the recently retired four-time world champion Sebastien Vettel. It also brings him to within three victories of the late legendary champion Ayrton Senna.
His Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez, who earned the race's starting pole, finished second.
