This has caused the tyres to behave slightly inconsistently, and wear profiles around the Miami circuit remain an unknown. If last year’s track surface had remained in place, the teams would be able to lean on models produced with last season’s data and try to extrapolate from incomplete data, but that variable has also changed during the off-season. One can make a very good guess which team is most likely to secure a victory, given the advantage 2023’s standout team has over the rest of the field, but the absence of data ensures that it might not be a Red Bull walkover.
