The Miami Grand Prix was won by Max Verstappen in spectacular fashion. The international media also feasted on the Red Bull Racing driver's overtaking race, although there are also concerns about how exciting the rest of the F1 season will be this way.
La Gazzetta dello Sport - Italy
Italy's La Gazzetta speaks of a comeback that belongs only in science fiction films, while Italy's Ferrrari's performance is called appalling. ''Monstrous'' is how Verstappen's overtaking race is described, which the newspaper also says will go down in the books as one of Verstappen's best races.
''A race like this also sounds like the death knell of the championship. As in Baku, the Red Bulls could do whatever they want here. Everything will be analysed, but the impact of such a performance by Super Max, could be a tick to Checo's self-confidence.''
Marca - Spain
Spain also sees Verstappen leaving little for his rivals. Sergio Perez still started from pole, but Verstappen picks up everything as Spanish Marca headlines after the race. ''Verstappen is crushing all his rivals and not giving Perez a chance to reply.'' However, according to the Spanish-language medium, there are still plenty of chances for Perez to make this championship somewhat exciting.
Bild - Germany
''A spectacular overtaking race by Verstappen' ', German Bild headlines after the GP in Miami. ''Mad-Max finds his turbo. Of course with the help of an absolutely dominant car, but also with some breathtaking overtaking.'' Bild additionally looks at the implications of Verstappen's 38th win. Indeed, the Dutchman has now won as many races as Sebastian Vettel for Red Bull Racing. The two-time world champion is thus just one win away from absolute hero status within the Austrian racing stable.
L'Equipe - France
In France, there is a lot of focus on the points scored by Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon for Alpine, but of course there is also attention on the 'strong comeback' of world championship leader Verstappen. ' 'Verstappen left only crumbs for his rivals, including his teammate,'' L 'Equipe 's message is clear after the race in the United States
The Sun - England
Britain's The Sun expects fans in Miami might have hoped for more. The fans in America, especially the VIPs present, became fans mainly because of the Netflix series Drive to Survive. Drama like that series did not last with a parade of Red Bull Racing. Therefore, according to The Sun, F1 needs more than just a new, hip intro music written by some attendees. The sport needs more drama to entertain fans in this part of the world.
