What to watch out for at the F1 Miami Grand Prix?

There have been quite a few surprises during the first two practice sessions at the Miami Grand Prix. The first session saw both Mercedes at the top with George Russell pulling in the fastest lap. They were followed by Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari.

To much surprise, Max Verstappen was at fourth in the Red Bull. However, the second practice session seemed to yield better results for the team as Verstappen put the fastest lap of the race. Sergio Perez was still on P4, and the two were separated by both Ferraris.

As mentioned above, the Miami International Autodrome is a little hard to overtake than other tracks, hence, the qualifying session will matter a lot to teams and drivers.

The track features long straights which can turn out to be a major advantage for Red Bull owing to their straight-line speed, which helped the Austrian team dominate the race in Baku last week.
