2023 - Race 5 Miami
Quick turnaround - Miami Part Deux
1. Will Checo continue to give a fight to Max
2. Can Leclerc put in two good weekend in a row?
3. Will Alonso consistency continue?
4. Is anybody bringing upgrades?
5. Miami Weather - looks dry at moment. Had been raining off and on there in April.

The Miami street circuit is one of those tracks that tuck into itself. Like Silverstone, Austria's Redbull ring and Brasil. Like Abu Dhabi, it has the Hard Rock stadium in the middle. With two long straights and 19 corners. This is a combination of engine grunt and cornering efficiency track. High downforce may play a role in success here. This one has Checo and Redbull written all over it.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

According to Fred , the reds will burn up their tires in Miami , so they'll be down the order .
And , I don't think Max wants to be behind Checo here , so it's time that the relationship goes seriously downhill .
It looks like two green racing suits on the podium on Sunday to me .

Yep, a bang of heads between Verstappen and Perez is coming soon. Those long straights may suit Verstappen more than Checo, it may also come down to tyre management on that virgin tarmac yet to be rubbered in. The greens do not seem to do well on street tracks but l would not write off Alonso in this sort of uncertain situations.

Some tarmac experience would be great, too, but that's fantastic news. Mārtiņš Sesks @MSesks There are other rallies than WRC where to train for tarmac. And we’ll definately use them.
