The 2023 Miami Grand Prix is here, and hopefully it brings a little more heat than it did in 2022.
The debut Miami race in 2022 was pretty tame until a safety car threw a wrench into Max Verstappen's best-laid plans; Verstappen took the lead from Charles Leclerc early in the race and held on late in the race after a safety car scrunched the field on Lap 41.
This year, Red Bull looks every bit as dominant as it did in 2022, though Verstappen and Sergio Perez have traded wins back and forth through four rounds in the early 2023, with the race for second place the most intriguing storyline entering Miami.
