Formula 1 returns to action at the Miami Grand Prix following an unexpected five-week break when a pair of races in the Middle East were called off because of the war in Iran.
The time off gave the FIA time to make changes to the regulations that drivers heavily criticized after the first three races of the year because of how the electrical battery power has changed the cars and competition.
Will it help? “It’s a tickle,” said Max Verstappen, who has been so vocal about his dislike of the current cars that he’s openly considering leaving F1.
