Strategy and set-up keys
Pirelli have opted for a mid-range compound selection at this year’s Miami Grand Prix, with the C2 serving as the white-marked hard, the C3 as the yellow-marked medium and the C4 as the red-marked soft.
With the Miami International Autodrome being resurfaced before the 2023 race weekend, it remains very smooth, therefore offering quite low grip, while Pirelli rates the lateral and longitudinal forces involved as ‘medium to low’ on the current calendar.

Meanwhile, the circuit is not used for any other motorsport events between F1’s visits, leading to significant track evolution across sessions and the potential for graining, particularly with the medium and soft tyres.
As for race strategy, Miami is typically a one-stop encounter, with the hard and medium compounds “the outright favourites” according to Pirelli, amid air temperatures that very often hit 30°C.
FAN VIEW: The usual suspects are expected to be the ones attempting to gatecrash the Red Bull podium party on Sunday evening. As well as the Ferraris and Norris, there are a few nibbles for Alonso and the other McLaren piloted by Oscar Piastri. In reality though, F1 Play gamers expect Red Bull to lock out two spots again.
