Verstappen admits regret over strategy call in Miami

Max Verstappen finished P5 at the Miami Grand Prix after a chaotic race that saw him recover from an early spin and a challenging pit strategy. Despite the result, Verstappen highlighted the progress made by Red Bull, as the team's new upgrades helped him secure a strong qualifying position behind Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli. Verstappen's race was compromised by an early lock-up and spin that dropped him to P10. While an early pit stop under the Safety Car briefly put him in the lead, the extended stint on hard tires hampered his pace, causing him to lose positions to Oscar Piastri and George Russell. Ultimately, he snatched fifth place from Charles Leclerc on the final lap following Leclerc's late-race collision with the wall.
