MIAMI, May 4 (Reuters) - George Russell said he has no need to clear the air with Red Bull's Max Verstappen after their Azerbaijan Grand Prix sprint clash, or do anything different in the way he races the Formula One champion. Asked by reporters ahead of the Miami Grand Prix on Thursday, the Mercedes driver said he had not discussed the incident in Baku with Verstappen. Verstappen swore at Russell after the first lap clash in the Saturday sprint ripped a hole in the side of the Red Bull. Verstappen won in Miami last year when the Hard Rock Stadium hosted a race for the first time. Mercedes are third overall, behind Aston Martin, with Russell yet to stand on the podium in 2023.
Lots of sporting buzz in Miami but can F1 deliver?

Once again in a league of their own, Red Bull have won every grand prix this season, with three of the four races one-two finishes. While Miami can deliver plenty of Monaco like pizzazz, the action on the track could also be similar to Monte Carlo with precious little overtaking. Double world champion Max Verstappen (93) leads Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez (87) in the drivers standings and a resurgent Alonso a distant third on 60 points. Hamilton's team mate George Russell had a tongue-and-cheek solution, forget about Red Bull and dive into the battle for third place.

May 3 (Reuters) - Formula One statistics for Sunday's Miami Grand Prix at the Hard Rock Stadium, round five of the 23-race championship:Lap distance: 5.412km. Red Bull have won every race this season, three of them with a one-two finish, and 14 of the last 15. Red Bull have been on pole in three of the four races, with Leclerc taking the top slot in Azerbaijan. Four teams and five drivers have now made a podium appearance this season -- Red Bull, Aston Martin, Mercedes and Ferrari. MILESTONEBaku was the 25th one-two finish for Red Bull since they entered Formula One in 2005.
Toto Wolff was at the Miami Grand Prix last spring, gazing out at the most sophisticated cars in the world racing around the sun-baked, palm-fringed circuit, when a jarring realization hit him like a bucket of cold water at 180 mph. His Mercedes team, Formula One’s eight-time defending constructors’ champion and arguably the greatest dynasty in modern sports history, wasn’t just off the pace. It was completely uncompetitive. The run of dominance that he had helped to build as Mercedes team principal was coming to a definitive conclusion. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton would finish the season without a single Grand Prix victory for the first time in his entire career.
The sport’s thrill and glamour draw an audience from across the socioeconomic spectrum, though all would agree: The weekend costs a fortune. Single-day tickets can go for thousands of dollars, on top of travel and hotel prices that reflect the host city’s sudden surge in population.
