Oscar Piastri did not expect to see Red Bull — and Max Verstappen — show such strong form at the Miami Grand Prix.
Oscar Piastri expressed surprise at Red Bull’s performance improvement at the Miami Grand Prix, noting Max Verstappen’s strong comeback against Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren. Red Bull had initially appeared to lag behind the top teams this F1 season, but significant upgrades to the RB22 in Florida propelled the team forward. Despite Ferrari and McLaren also introducing major updates, they could not match the lap time gains made by Red Bull. Verstappen showed a rejuvenated form at the Miami International Autodrome, securing a front-row start after an impressive sprint race performance. Piastri acknowledged the unpredictability of performance in Formula 1 and recognized McLaren’s misstep in setup compared to their rivals.
