Miami Grand Prix Curse Strikes: Max Verstappen Endures N…read more.

 

The so-called “Miami Grand Prix curse” has once again made headlines after Max Verstappen’s shocking performance at this weekend’s race. The reigning world champion, who came into Miami as the favorite, saw his hopes dashed after a string of setbacks that left fans and analysts stunned.

 

From the start, Verstappen struggled to find pace, battling with handling issues and tire degradation. Despite Red Bull’s efforts to adjust the car setup, Verstappen was unable to match the speed of his rivals and fell back in the field. A rare mistake saw him run wide at Turn 11, costing him valuable time and opening the door for competitors to overtake.

 

But the trouble didn’t end there. Verstappen’s pit stop was marred by a slow tire change, adding several seconds to his overall time. As the race wore on, his frustration grew, with radio messages capturing the Dutch driver’s disbelief at how far off the pace he had fallen.

 

While some blamed strategy missteps or mechanical issues, many are pointing to the so-called “Miami Grand Prix curse” — a belief that even the best drivers encounter unexpected disasters at this flashy yet tricky American street circuit.

 

Verstappen’s rivals capitalized on his struggles, with Ferrari and McLaren locking out the podium spots. For Red Bull, it’s a weekend to forget, as the team now turns its attention to bouncing back at the next round.
