Miami: Another Spectacular Event

Toto's looking forward to being back in Miami

We've gone from a four-week gap in racing, to having two in consecutive weekends. We move from Azerbaijan to Miami for the fifth round of the 2023 Formula One season.

And it's going to be a busy weekend on the ground as the sport returns to Miami for the second time - with plenty happening on and off track to keep things interesting.

"From the streets of Baku to the streets of Miami," said Toto. "We're looking forward to being back on track so quickly after an interesting, but challenging, weekend in Baku.

"The new sprint format threw up some surprises and we now need to evaluate the merits of it, and if there are any tweaks necessary.

"Unfortunately, we didn't quite get our car in the right set-up window during practice. That made the rest of the weekend more difficult.

There was an incredible buzz last year and I have no doubts it will be another spectacular event this year.

"Our race pace looked competitive against the Ferraris and Aston Martins, but with overtaking so tricky, we couldn't put this to the test. That's about where our car is right now but we also know small differences can have a big impact weekend by weekend.

"We're excited therefore to get to Miami and get back on track. We'll be using the few days in between to extract as many learnings as we can and put ourselves in the best possible position.

"It's a circuit that is a different beast compared to the last few races. There's a real mix of corners, with some high-speed sections, long straights but also tight, twisty areas.

"It's also going to be a busy weekend with plenty of off-track activities and events for the team and our partners. There was an incredible buzz last year and I have no doubts it will be another spectacular event this year."
