Odds for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix
Just like in the four previous races of the 2023 F1 season, Max Verstappen has been made heavy favourite to win the 2023 Miami Grand Prix.
That said, Sergio Perez has severely closed the gap odds wise in comparison to recent weeks as the Mexican driver completed a famous double race win in Azerbaijan during both the F1 Sprint and subsequent Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc comes in as the third favourite to win in Miami - a track where he picked up pole position last season - after he picked up a podium finish last time out in Baku.
The Ferrari driver is followed by Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Carlos Sainz on the odds list.

Who won the 2022 Miami Grand Prix?
During the first running of the Miami Grand Prix back in 2022, it was current World Drivers' Champion Max Verstappen who took the chequered flag.
Despite starting the race in P3 after being out qualified by Ferrari pair Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, the Dutchman roared back to win Sunday's race by 3.7 seconds.
Following that race, Verstappen would go on to win the Spanish Grand Prix which was next up on the calendar before finishing the season with 454 points - the most ever recorded in a single season of F1.
Weather for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix
At present, reports suggest that we could be in for a potential mix-and-match when it comes to the weather for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix.
Although it looks like Friday's practice sessions and Sunday's race should see dry weather, qualifying on the Saturday could be hit by rain.
