Valtteri Bottas is targeting a strong weekend at the Miami Grand Prix, with Stake F1 narrowly missing out on points at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Valtteri Bottas is optimistic about the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, drawing confidence from Stake F1’s previous strong performances in Florida. The Miami race will mark the first U.S. leg of the season and the second sprint event in a row. Known for its celebrity-studded audience and Super Bowl-like atmosphere, the Miami Grand Prix offers a unique setting with a track winding around the Miami Dolphins stadium.
Bottas expressed his approval of the challenging and technical Miami track when speaking to the media, highlighting improvements in both the event organization and the track surface compared to previous years. Despite coming close to scoring points at the recent Chinese Grand Prix sprint, Bottas faced disappointment due to a retirement during the main race, but he is determined to make up for it in Miami.
Having shown promising results at the inaugural Miami race in 2022, where he finished seventh, Bottas believes the track layout suits Stake’s car and is hopeful for a strong performance this season. Looking ahead, he anticipates an even better outcome in Miami and aims to capitalize on Stake F1’s history of success at this circuit.
