Maimi GP: Max Verstappen Dominates to Win Race

 

Max Verstappen emerged as the winner of the Miami Grand Prix despite a late battle from his arch rival Charles Leclerc and that reduced the Ferrari driver's lead over the race winner in the championship race to 19 points. 

The race witnessed such a huge presence of Amerrican superstars amongst which was DJ Khaled, Mary J. Blige, NFL's Tom Brady, NBA Legend Magic Johnson and many others. 

Leclerc came onto the grid in pole and lost that to Verstappen early into race and remained in the chase as the Red Bull continued to have a sort of dominance. 

Unfortunately, safety car came into effect and brought Verstappen's dominance to a halt with 10 laps remaining. Leclerc gave his best to wrestle Verstappen for the victory especially in the last five laps but was unable. 

The crash between McLaren's Lando Norris and Alpha Tauri's Pierre Gasly was the cause of the safety car. Carlos Sainz, in the end, finished third and Mercedes George Russell finished fifth. 

Winning the race brought Verstappen's total to three wins so far this season, and also increased his championship points to 85 points whilst Leclerc leads with 104 points.
