What happened in qualy?
Qualifying began in Miami and the strong winds from Florida were present, complicating the race for all the drivers. The surprise came when both McLaren drivers were left out in Q1, as well as Aston Martin's Lance Stroll, the other drivers who ended up outside were Yuki Tsunoda and Logan Sargeant. The havoc continued at the Miami Circuit and in Q2 it was Lewis Hamilton who was left out, along with Alex Albon, Nick de Vries, Nico Hulkenberg and Guanyu Zhou. The strong winds from Florida managed to reach 18 km/h, Q3 started and Max Verstappen looked insecure in his car when it skidded in the first corners. The same thing happened with Charles Leclerc, who was following him at turn 17 and affecting his time. On Charles Leclerc's second attempt he left the track and forced the red flag, awarding Pole Position to Sergio “Checo” Pérez.
The stage is ready!
Everything is ready at the Miami International Speedway for the start of the race, full house, around 250,000 people are expected:

Internal fight
Unlike last season, this time the fight for the Formula 1 title is between the two Red Bull drivers, Max Verstappen and Sergio "Checo" Pérez, who are only 6 points apart and far removed from the rest of the competitors. The Mexican has surprised with his high level and pressing the defending champion to get the most out of the team. Christian Horner, Red Bull team manager, has been very happy and has allowed the two drivers to fight on each circuit to favor the show, for now, the team instructions favoring any driver are non-existent and each race is very interesting. So far, each driver has won two grands prix out of the 4 that have been held, showing the absolute dominance that Red Bull has over the rest of the teams. Today, Formula 1 belongs to Red Bull and we will see if this continues and we only have competition between one team or if the rest of the teams will manage to get into the fight.

The Miami International Speedway located in Miami, Florida will host this race between the Formula 1 teams that seek to continue the 2023 championship in a good way. This circuit has a capacity for 65,000 fans and was inaugurated in 2021. It also has 19 curves and a length of 5,412 kilometers.
