Verstappen, the reigning world champion, has already notched up four wins from five races this season, including a victory in China in the last race. The Miami Grand Prix will also feature the second sprint race of the year, following Verstappen’s win in Shanghai last month.

Verstappen emerged victorious in last year’s race and will be a strong contender for a repeat performance this year.
