2023 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix highlights

Introduction

 

Max Verstappen struck back in the 2023 title race by beating Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez to victory during the 2023 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, recovering from ninth on the grid and passing the pole-sitter in the closing stages of an intriguing, strategic race.

Perez had slashed Verstappen’s championship advantage to just six points with a Sprint and Grand Prix double last time out in Azerbaijan, and a topsy-turvy qualifying session at the Miami International Autodrome gave him a golden opportunity to move to the top of the standings.

However, while Perez led the first half of the race on a medium-hard tyre strategy, Verstappen expertly stretched out his initial stint on hards to rise from P9 to P1 – via a series of fine moves – and he emerged just behind his teammate with a fresh set of mediums late on.

Japanese F1 star Yuki Tsunoda has declared he will ‘sleep easy’ ahead of this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix after winning a head-to-head mini jet boat battle against eight-time F1 winner Daniel Ricciardo on Miami’s Biscayne Bay.

The Miami waterways were transformed into a racetrack with the unexpected scene of Scuderia AlphaTauri’s Tsunoda and Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Ricciardo battling it aboard mini jet boats with the showdown of the first round of an (Un)Serious Race Series between the two Formula 1 teams.

After a fast start, Tsunoda was passed by Ricciardo mid-race but pegged back the Australian’s advantage to cross the line first. The result makes Tsunoda a two-time winner in Miami, following his victory against double F1 world champion Max Verstappen 12 months ago when they raced 700hp V8-powered swamp buggies.

Top things to keep in mind when hiring a lawyer for your case

Hiring a lawyer is a crucial step for anyone involved in a legal matter, whether it be a criminal case or a civil dispute. Choosing the right attorney can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. However, with so many lawyers to choose from, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Here are some top things to keep in mind when hiring a lawyer for your case.

Choose a lawyer with experience in your specific legal issue

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a lawyer is their experience in the area of law that your case involves. For example, if you are facing criminal charges, you should look for a lawyer who specializes in criminal law. If you are dealing with a personal injury matter, such as a car or truck accident, you should choose a lawyer with experience in that area. And if you take a look at Truck accident laws and regulations in Utah, it becomes apparent that you need a lawyer who understands the complexities of these laws and regulations. By choosing a lawyer with experience in your specific legal issue, you can be sure that they have a deep understanding of the laws and regulations that apply to your case. They will also have knowledge of the local court system and procedures, which can be invaluable in helping you navigate your case.

In short, choosing and hiring a lawyer with experience in your specific legal issue is crucial to ensuring that you receive the best possible representation. They will have the knowledge, skills, and expertise needed to help you navigate your case and achieve a successful outcome. Be sure to ask any potential lawyers about their experience in your specific legal issue, and don’t be afraid to ask for references or case examples.

Consider the lawyer’s reputation

Another important factor to consider when choosing a lawyer is their reputation. You want to hire a lawyer who is known for being professional, ethical, and successful in their practice. Look for online reviews and testimonials from previous clients to get an idea of the lawyer’s reputation. You can also check with your state’s bar association to see if the lawyer has any disciplinary actions or complaints against them. A lawyer with a good reputation will give you peace of mind knowing that you are in good hands.

Discuss fees upfront

Before hiring a lawyer, it’s important to discuss their fees upfront. Make sure you understand how the lawyer charges for their services and what services are included in the fee. Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, while others charge a flat fee or contingency fee. You should also ask about any additional expenses, such as filing fees or court costs, that may be associated with your case. By discussing fees upfront, you can avoid any surprises later on and ensure that you can afford the lawyer’s services.

In a first for the Team, the paints were handed to our most loyal followers and Martina Andriano’s creation was picked from thousands of entries. The judging panel was headed up by Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner and included representatives from the Team’s Title Partner, Oracle, Principal Team Partner, Bybit and Technology Partner, Mobil 1.

Max and Checo’s cars will be decorated in the striking pink, blue and purple design, which was the brainchild of Graphic Design student Martina. The winner has been flown to Miami to see her creation in person and experience a weekend trackside with the World Championship-winning Team.

Lewis said: “It’s great to be back in Miami with IWC for their takeover of Jungle Plaza in the Miami Design District. It’s been a while since I’ve played basketball, so I was a little rusty, but I managed to hit a few hoops, at least! I’ve been with the team for ten years, and IWC has been with us for that entire journey, so I’m super proud to be wearing our IWC team watch with the Miami pink strap this weekend. Today we spent time with the Dibia DREAM charity and invited some awesome kids from the local Miami community. Dibia DREAM’s mission is to show kids that you can achieve anything you put your mind to through education, so it was great to be part of that.”
