Max Verstappen roars from ninth on grid to win Miami GP Miami          [7 May 2023] Max Verstappen recovered from ninth place on the grid to beat Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez to victory at the Miami Grand Prix. Such was the pace of the two Red Bull drivers that they were in their own private battle for the majority of the race, with Perez leading from pole position as Verstappen recovered quickly from his qualifying mistake Saturday to move up to second place by lap 15. The two drivers were on differing strategies, with Verstappen starting on the hard tyres and running long while Perez started on the medium compound and pitted relatively early. The two strategies crossed over twice in the pit stops before converging on lap 48 when Verstappen made a clean pass on his teammate for victory at Turn 1.
