Max Verstappen is unsure what to think about the floor updates Red Bull introduced in Miami, arguing it was difficult to gain an understanding in the Sunshine State.
Max Verstappen expressed uncertainty about the performance of the new floor on his RB21 at the Miami International Autodrome, describing the track as “weird” and challenging to assess accurately. Despite securing pole position at the Miami Grand Prix, he was unable to hold off Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris from McLaren, ultimately finishing fourth behind George Russell. The Red Bull team introduced developments to the floor in Florida, hoping for progress or a clearer understanding of its effects, but Verstappen feels neither goal was achieved. He anticipates needing to wait until the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix for a better assessment of the upgrade’s impact, emphasizing that his current feelings are not negative. Verstappen shared his thoughts with Dutch media after qualifying in Miami, expressing his struggle to evaluate the new components on a track that felt unfamiliar and peculiar, and looking forward to gaining more insights at Imola.
