This weekend F1 hits the Magic City of Miami, USA for the first time! In a years-long bid to bring another F1 race to the expanding fan base in the US, the sport settled on a circuit located within the grounds of the Hard Rock Stadium on the North side of Miami. Originally dubbed the Parking Lot Grand Prix the final circuit layout and idea of the Miami race has created a real buzz and excitement for drivers and fans alike. Long straights, flowing turns, and three (3) DRS zones should create plenty of overtaking on this 19 turn circuit.
Red Bull will come to Miami with a slight sense of relief that they got their 2022 campaign back on course at Imola; however, there will be no rest for the team as they know Ferrari is essentially their equal and still ahead in both championship races. Look for one car on the podium, two with some luck. On the AlphaTauri side of the garage look for one car to score points.
Elsewhere on the grid, this is the general expectation of team performance heading into this weekend’s Grand Prix.
1. Red Bull
2. Ferrari
3. Mercedes
4. McLaren
5. Alfa Romeo
6. Haas
7. Alpine
8. AlphaTauri
9. Aston Martin
10. Williams
