2022 Miami Grand Prix - Verstappen edges the Ferraris as title fight continues

MIAMI, FL – The rivalry between championship leader Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and reigning world champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) continues to ignite, as the pair dueled each other again in the Miami Street Circuit for the first time on Sunday afternoon. But this time it's the Dutchman who became the victor, as he continues to reduce the points deficit from current championship leading Monegasque.

Yes boys!!! 🏆 Incredibly happy to win here in Miami 💪

No weekend is ever easy in F1, especially on a new demanding track like this one 🥵

Disappointed that we didn’t have enough pace to win the race today but we’ll work harder than ever to get back on top in race pace.
Miami, you were incredible though, loved every seconds of this week 🇺🇸❤️ pic.twitter.com/Zro9LtMWm8

As F1 will return to European rounds, the title battle between Verstappen and Leclerc will be predicted to be tighter and more intense than last year's Verstappen vs. Hamilton showdown.
