For now, the first Grand Prix weekend in Miami is going as you would expect it to: in its American way. Big, bigger, biggest. One star after another shows his or her face in the paddock and there is plenty of entertainment. It has all been arranged down to the last detail.

Mickey Mouse in Florida

Yet there is also criticism, for example from Max Verstappen. He is not satisfied with the layout of the track. Against The Telegraph He tells us that he doesn't like the 'Mickey Mouse part' at all. The world champion is referring to the section between turns 11 and 16.

According to Verstappen, this is not part of Formula 1, because the cars are too heavy, too long and too wide. "We will talk about that as drivers with Formula 1 and the FIA. I hope we can give some more input when it comes to how a track is built," Verstappen said.

Never in rhythm

The Dutchman hopes that changes will already have been made by the next visit to the circuit. In principle, adjustments should not be difficult to make. "In that Mickey Mouse section you never have the feeling that you have driven a lap completely top, there you never get into the rhythm," said Verstappen.
