Verdict

The 2023 Miami Grand Prix was a tame and mostly processional affair, driven far more by tire strategy than genuine track drama. With all twenty cars reaching the checkered flag in a completely incident-free race, there were no safety cars or yellow flags to interrupt the rhythm or compress the field. Off-setting tire choices between medium and hard compound starters generated a steady stream of DRS passes down the long straights, but the battle near the front lacked sustained tension once the pit-stop cycles played out. Unless you are a purist who enjoys watching calm, methodical pit-window tactics unfold, this one is largely skippable.
