The Miami Grand Prix, according to Max Verstappen, may be a “very chaotic” weekend.

From the 6th to the 8th of May, F1 will hold its debut championship at the Miami International Autodrome, the first of two races to be staged in the United States during the 2022 season.

Because the temporary racetrack is brand new, there are a lot of question marks for the cars and drivers. Verstappen, on the other hand, is looking forward to the weekend in general, given the sport’s growing appeal in the United States.

“I think this weekend is going to be pretty crazy!” Verstappen said in Red Bull’s race preview.

“I’m looking forward to racing in Miami, I’ve driven the track on the simulator and we’ve practiced and prepared as much as we can without visiting the track in real life.

“I love racing in Austin, so it’s fun that we get to go to another state and race this year. It’s exciting to see Formula 1 getting much bigger in the US.

“F1 and the teams are working hard to promote the sport in the US, and we’re having more and more races here, so step by step we are making it more popular.”

Verstappen pleased to see that overtaking progressed

Valtteri Bottas stated recently that the Miami site appears to offer a number of overtaking possibilities, and Verstappen believes that this facet of the sport will improve the performance in 2022.

“I also think it helps now the cars are finding it easier to follow and overtake each other and more teams are competing for wins,” the Dutchman added.

“I think that’s the most important thing for the fans. I hope that it’s going to be an exciting weekend, Miami is a really nice city and I think it’s a really interesting location to hold a Grand Prix.

“I think not only the drivers are excited, but the fans too.”

Perez is looking for a lot of help in Miami

Perez, Verstappen’s teammate, is also looking forward to the Miami Grand Prix and hopes to meet some of his local fans there.

“I am excited to be heading to Miami this week,” Perez commented.

“It is great that the calendar is expanding more in America, which is a lot closer to home for me and one day I might end up living there!

“It is a great market for Formula 1 and I am sure there will be a lot of Latin Americans and Mexicans at the race, so hopefully I get a lot of support and it will be a very important race for the team both on and off the track.”

Perez lauded the Red Bull team for the effort they put in to assist him and Verstappen, despite latest modifications to the race weekend structure to make proceedings more time-constrained in this 23-race season.

“These busier races are hard to manage, but the team do an incredible job at making sure Max and I can focus on our driving,” he explained.

“I found the new circuit fun on the simulator, and it can potentially be a good place for racing with those very long straights. I think choosing the right downforce level will be the biggest challenge for all the teams.

“I am now fighting for poles and podiums every week, which is great motivation to keep pushing and keep focus. I just want more week after week, and I am looking forward to seeing what we can do in Miami.”
