US EditionVerstappen sees light at the end of tunnel
Verstappen said Red Bull’s upgrades made the car more comfortable and helped him qualify second, a turnaround after early-season struggles.
- Four-Time Max Verstappen secured second on the grid for the Miami Grand Prix on Saturday, with Kimi Antonelli claiming his third consecutive pole position. The front-row finish marks a dramatic turnaround for Red Bull after a difficult season start.
- Red Bull utilized a five-week hiatus caused by race cancellations in the Middle East to implement major car upgrades. The Dutchman previously struggled with unpredictable handling, describing himself as feeling like a 'total passenger' in the vehicle.
- Verstappen credited the upgrades with resolving inconsistencies that previously caused understeer and snaps. He said the changes made the car "a lot more comfortable" and allowed him to finally "drive how I want to drive."

- Verstappen said he could "see light at the end of the tunnel" heading into Sunday's race. Trailing Kimi Antonelli by 59 points, he aims to convert his front-row start into a strong result and close the championship gap.
