The highly anticipated Miami Grand Prix has finally come to an end. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen emerged victorious over his championship rival Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. However, it was a race to forget for Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel and Haas’s Mick Schumacher.
Sebastian and Mick collided with each other, which sent both of them out of the points. Both the drivers were running inside the point zone only to take each other out just before the final few laps. Lap 54 saw Mick trying to plunge down the inside of Seb. That’s when the young German collected his veteran countryman.
