F1 Starting Grid 2023 Miami F1 Grand Prix
Event: Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix
Track: Miami International Autodrome
Warm-up lap starts at: 15:30 Local | 21:30 CET | 20:30 UK | 12:30 LA | 04:30 Tokio
We have a start grid that not many F1 fans would have expected. Charles Leclerc lost control of his Ferrari SF-23 for the second time this weekend at turn 7 and ended up in the barrier, causing a red flag in the Q3 quali session that also put an end to it with 1.34 min on the clock. Max Verstappen this was bad news for Max Verstappen had not set a lap time and had to abort his quick lap.
Good to see there are six different F1 teams in the top six. There race will be very interesting with several cars lower on the grid then they should be. Can't wait for the lights to go out tomorrow!

Kind of a fun starting grid. The track really is unimpressive though. I suppose it lacks the sharp teeth that Saudi Arabia has, and would be its closest competitor. Surprised to see so many empty seats in the stands for qualifying. Then again, it’s Miami in Florida.
I predict Max will be in P2 within the first five laps.
Yeah, could be he even wins. Maybe he now will get lucky for once...
