Ahead of the 2024 Miami Grand Prix, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has described the event as a ‘great event’ despite not being the ‘best racetrack’. Acknowledging the dip in viewership last season, Horner believes the introduction of a sprint race weekend will enhance the excitement. However, he suggests that the Miami GP could become even more ‘special’ by incorporating the Hard Rock Stadium into the track layout.
Lewis Hamilton had a challenging Chinese Grand Prix, finishing ninth after a poor qualifying session. Mercedes has confirmed upgrades for the Miami Grand Prix, but it remains uncertain if it will be sufficient to close the gap to top teams like Red Bull and Ferrari. Team principal Toto Wolff acknowledged their lack of pace and highlighted upcoming upgrades for Miami. Wolff dismissed Hamilton’s suggestion that tire pressure was the primary cause of their struggles.
Lando Norris is confident that he can claim his maiden Formula 1 victory in 2024 after his impressive performance at the Chinese Grand Prix. Despite being overshadowed by Max Verstappen’s dominance, Norris has shown promising speed in McLaren’s MCL38. With a significant upgrade package set to debut at the Miami Grand Prix, Norris is optimistic about McLaren’s chances of competing for wins.
