The 2024 Formula One season finally makes its way to North America for the first time this year, as Max Verstappen aims for yet another triumph in the Miami Grand Prix on the latest stop of the campaign.
The Dutchman, out for a fourth world title, has consolidated his prospects in previous years with a string of superb performances at the Miami International Autodrome in Florida, and he will hope Red Bull can further iron out any kinks they might have here.
However, while Verstappen will be determined to add yet another trophy to his burnished collection, plenty behind him might sense the chance to spark an upset as the field crosses the Pacific from China en route to the start of the European calendar.
Carlos Sainz Jr., who took advantage of a snafu for the Red Bull man in Australia, will be among those, alongside Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc and McLaren veteran Fernando Alonso, who will be chasing a podium finish.
