Max Verstappen says he and his engineer hatched between them the plan to start the Miami Grand Prix on hard tyres before taking it to Red Bull’s Formula 1 strategists.The world champion produced a stunning drive to win the Miami GP from ninth of the grid after electing to take an alternative tyre strategy to the front runners.
“It was something I wondered about already [on Saturday], together with my engineer,” he explained. “We were quite strongly opinionated on that already. “But, of course, when you start on the hard, the risk is a bit higher because we only had one, so if you had a lap one puncture or whatever, then of course your race is a bit tougher.
“By lap 14, I think, I was already on a podium position, so from there onwards it’s mostly about driving in clean air and you have to look after your tyres anyway.”Photo by: Red Bull Content Poolsaid he never considered it as it would have been too much of a risk from up front.
