Your 2023 Miami Grand Prix Predictions: The Results

Did you predict an Aston Martin podium? Or that the weather would remain dry for the race? How many of your pre-race predictions for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix were correct? Find out below!


1. WHERE WILL LOGAN SARGEANT FINISH IN THE 2023 MIAMI GRAND PRIX?

YOUR PREDICTION: 15th OR LOWER / DNF

CORRECT ANSWER: 15th OR LOWER / DNF

No American driver has scored on home soil since Eddie Cheever at the 1989 United States Grand Prix. That fact remains true after the 2023 Miami Grand Prix, with Logan Sargeant starting and finishing 20th. Notably, this race was the first since the 2021 Turkish Grand Prix which every driver finished.


2. OUTSIDE OF RED BULL, WHICH TEAM WILL RECORD THE BEST RESULT?

YOUR PREDICTION: ASTON MARTIN

CORRECT ANSWER: ASTON MARTIN

Aston Martin had expected to be back in the mix at the 2023 Miami Grand Prix and Fernando Alonso proved to be best of the rest in the race. Finishing behind the two Red Bull drivers, Alonso recorded his fourth podium result of the season.


3. WHO WILL LEAD THE CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER THE RACE?

YOUR PREDICTION: VERSTAPPEN BY 10+ POINTS

CORRECT ANSWER: VERSTAPPEN BY 10+ POINTS

With Sergio Perez starting from pole position and Max Verstappen ninth on the grid, you’d be forgiven for expecting Perez to leave the 2023 Miami Grand Prix with the championship lead. In the race, Verstappen rose to the top while Perez finished second. That leaves Verstappen leading the title race by 14 points.


4. WILL INTERMEDIATE OR WET TYRES BE USED IN THE 2023 MIAMI GRAND PRIX?

YOUR PREDICTION: NO

CORRECT ANSWER: NO

Despite the forecast for Sunday thunderstorms ahead of the race – and the fact that rain fell overnight in Miami – the 2023 Miami Grand Prix took place in dry conditions. No intermediate or wet compounds were needed!


5. HOW MANY DRIVERS OUTSIDE THE TOP 10 ON THE GRID WILL SCORE?

YOUR PREDICTION: 1 or 2

CORRECT ANSWER: 1 or 2

Lewis Hamilton was the only driver starting outside of the top ten grid positions who scored a point in the 2023 Miami Grand Prix. Having qualified a disappointing 13th, Hamilton recovered to sixth place by the end of the Grand Prix.
