Max Verstappen managed to consolidate his ninth place at the start. The Red Bull Racing driver initially lost a place to an aggressive Esteban Ocon, but made up for it on the first lap by overtaking the Alpine driver. Nyck de Vries, who came from P15, was the straggler in Miami after the start after contact with Lando Norris. The AlphaTauri braked too late, losing five spots as a result.
Verstappen is driving on hard tyres, where everyone ahead of him has started on mediums. It therefore takes a little longer for the Dutchman to get temperature in his tyres. After four laps, the 25-year-old Limburger is in sixth place.
Soon after the start, Hamilton was heard on the Mercedes radio questioning whether he would make it to the end. He had some contact at the first corner.
