Max Verstappen took the fan vote for Driver of the Day at the 2023 Miami GP after a dominant performance in Florida on the road to victory.
Verstappen started the race from ninth after he failed to set a first time in the final session of qualifying, and a red flag following a crash by Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc meant he didn’t get the chance to fight teammate Sergio Perez for pole.
However, Verstappen made short work of making his way through the pack on race day and managed to run long on hard tyres during the first part of the race to keep in touch with leader Perez and eventually overtake the Mexican for the lead with about 10 laps to go.
From there, Verstappen made a significant gap to his teammate and brought home his third victory of the season.
