Max Verstappen: Fades to fourth

Verstappen finished fourth at the Miami Grand Prix F1 race at Miami International Autodrome on Sunday.

Analysis:

Verstappen began the race from pole but immediately came under pressure from McLaren's Oscar Piastri. Verstappen held onto the lead valiantly but simply didn't have the pace to maintain the position in the long term. He also ran into some bad luck at various points in the weekend, as he was released unsafely from the pits in the sprint race -- costing him points -- and the timing of a Virtual Safety Car also pushed him off the podium in the grand prix. Verstappen has started on pole in half of the six races this season but has only one race win to show for it.
